Radial shock wave therapy in equine The new D20-T ÂťGoldÂŤ deep penetration shock transmitter
The new D20-T »Gold« deep penetration shock transmitter The classic D-ACTOR® technology developed by STORZ MEDICAL combines radial shock waves with vibration pulses »Biomechanical Stimulation« (BMS) to achieve fast and long-lasting therapy results. BMS performed with D-ACTOR® technology is based on the mechanical application of vibrating pulses to tense, shortened or overstretched muscles and tendons by means of the physiological shock frequencies (18 – 21 Hz) and low vibration amplitudes of the D-ACTOR® shock transmitters. As a result, proprioception is controlled, the tissue is purified and the interaction between the central and peripheral nervous systems is improved. The new D20-T »Gold«, the most powerful radial shock transmitter available today, raises the D-ACTOR® technology to a new level of treatment in veterinary medicine. The wider head provides excellent coverage, while the titanium medium enhances the capabilities so that therapy results can be achieved at lower pressure levels, patients can tolerate the output more easily, and fewer pulses can be administered. The new shock transmitter is ideal for applications in the field of muscular stiffness and pain and fibers of ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and vascular structures: Muscle pain therapy of all inclusive deep muscle structures Myofascial trigger point therapy in the muscular and connective tissue Reversal of fibrosis Elimination of stiffness, adhesions and scar tissue Adhesions of ligament and tendon insertions Larger suspensory and SDF tendonitis problems
Benefits over standard shock transmitters 50% higher shock wave energy input into the body while pressure levels remain unchanged. 50% lower air throughput, leading to drastically reduced humidity in the compressor,
especially during continuous load operation 20 – 25% fewer shocks and fewer treatment cycles without any decrease in therapy efficacy Ideal for continuous all-day use in ESWT for applications such as muscular trigger point Significantly longer service life
