Focused and variable –
Therapy sources for
individual indications
The use of focused shock waves is firmly
established as an accepted procedure to treat
many different conditions. With the increased
numbers of indications for shockwave
procedures and the expansion of ESWT
options, the requirements for the focal zones
of shock waves in terms of their penetration
depth, strength, shape and volume have risen
significantly. The idea that one type of focal
zone fits all is therefore no longer in keeping
with current user demands. A modern and
innovative shock wave system needs to
be variable to allow it to be adjusted to the
respective target tissue. To meet the demand
for successful treatments optimally adjusted
to various indications, Richard Wolf GmbH and
ELvation Medical GmbH set about developing
the right therapy sources and focal zones for
many different indications in addition to all-
purpose therapy sources. All therapy sources
shown in this brochure are optional and were
designed for use with the PiezoWave2 system.
This allows the treatment concept to be
expanded from all-purpose treatments to new
therapies in future.
