Details
Device typeSpark-gap orthopaedic extracorporeal shock wave therapy system: A mobile assembly of devices designed to provide spark-gap-generated orthopaedic extracorporeal shock wave therapy (OEST) to treat musculoskeletal disorders. It typically consists of a generator with two submerged electrodes that produce spark-gap (electrohydraulic) energy, at selected impulse frequencies, transmitted in reflector-focused waves to a target area on the patient's body surface via a water-filled membrane (e.g., latex) held against the target area during treatment. It is used to treat disorders such as patellar tendonitis, soft tissue pain near bones, plantar fasciitis (heel pain), epicondylopathy (tennis elbow), and/or non-union fractures of bones.
