Two Shockwave Technologies.
Different Ways to Treat.
Focused shockwave and radial pressure wave deliver acoustic energy differently. The right fit depends on the treatment depth, clinical target, patient population, and workflow.
Focused Shockwave
Focused shockwave uses high-intensity acoustic waves to concentrate energy in a focal area at a selected depth for deeper or more precise targeting.
Radial Pressure Wave
Radial pressure wave uses divergent acoustic waves to distribute energy across a broader, more superficial treatment area. Mobile and non-mobile options are available.
Adding Shockwave Is Easier Than You Think
