MAKE YOUR THERAPY MORE EFFECTIVE Extra-corporeal shock-waves is defined as an acoustic wave, which is made by high pressure peak, adjustable in a short frequency range. On the wave side, the positive pressure is increasing in a very short time from the value. Thanks to the technology and performances which has been applied, the new HC SWT is provided with adjustable pulse width for getting the best feedback from the patient and provoking the most effective application. Shock-waves is transmitted to the cellular layers with reference to the ultrasound waves propagation, but it is certainly...

HC SWT is the most recent and innovative device into the Healthcare range for performing extra corporeal shock-waves therapy, with reference to the internatio- nal clinical studies and bibliography. ntroduction of extra-corporeal shock-waves changed a little bit the therapeutic approach in several diseases, where shock-waves became a point of reference. Acoustic waves delivered from the shock-waves therapy device is capable to change pressure into the different cellular layers. This makes a strong cavitation phenomenon capable to stimulate several biological effects. LARGE TOUCH-SCREEN

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT START/ STOP LARGE FOCUS: PAT E N T E D S Y S T E M Thanks to the LARGE FOCUS system, extra-corporeal shock-waves therapy is performed at the ambulatory without sonography or rx, with the compliance and feedback of the patient, avoiding bad and uncomfortable feeling from the patient. Shock-waves are delivered for activating endogenous reparative effects, for increasing blood flow and vascolarization, , stimulating pain relief, in order to make faster recovery time. Shock-waves activates endogenous natu- ral repairing mechanisms of human body. LARGE FOCU mode allows...

PHYSICAL-MECHANICAL EFFECTS Which is the aim of shock-waves therapy? • Reducing recovery time • Stopping / reducing pain • Preparing the patient to other treatments Physical Trauma Psychological Trauma Action over pain Nociceptors action with changing of membrane cells able to avoid poten- tial action causing pain. Inhibition of centripet conduction of ^pain due to pressure impulses over the Endorphins and encephalines redu- cing pain feeling Activation of Merkel's corpuscles (pres- sure's receptors) with antagonistic reaction of stress based on catecola- BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS Pain relief It's...
