The new Intelect RPW 2 Shockwave unit combines streamlined design with ergonomics and patient-comfort with ease-of-use resulting into the most compact clinical unit currently on the market.

The Intelect RPW 2 Shockwave allows for the treatment of indications with radial, pneumatically-generated, low-energy acoustic waves, or ‘pressure pulses’.

The applied pressure pulse propagates radially within the tissue, generating a therapeutic effect.The V-ACTOR® HF optional hand piece allows mechanical vibration, for vibration massage.

Indications :

• Achilles Tendinopathy
• Disorders of tendons insertions
• Myofascial trigger points
• Pain & Inflammation in orthopaedic conditions
• Plantar fasciitis
• Pulse vibration massage

Recommended treatment guidelines :

• Localize the painful areas you plan to treat
• Select most appropriate transmitters based on treatment goal and targeted tissue
• Apply ultra sound water-based gel on the skin overlying the treatment area
• Always start with lower level of intensity
• Perform a post-treatment test to see for better function and decreased in pain

Features

New FALCON® Handpiece

• Allowing lower Bar pressures for an increased range of indications and applicators.

Large graphic color touch screen

• High resolution 7” capacitive touch screen for greater customer experience.

Suggested protocols library

• Available at a finger click; treatment pictures, anatomical and pathological library, treatments guidelines.

Comfort mode

• Unique automatic energy ramp up designed to provide better patient comfort.

V-ACTOR®  HF

• Vibration frequency up to 50Hz for Vibration therapy and muscle relaxation.

Large choice of transmitters

• 17 different transmitters available for tendinopathies, trigger points, spine and fascia treatments.

Easy fit for every treatment room

• Slim design 41x42x110cm (LxWxH), not a lot of space needed for this new RPW generation.

Ergonomic design

• What you is need close in hand; handpiece, transmitter tray, gel bottle, cables holders, soft pouch.

Extended pressure range

• The Falcon handpiece provides a greater pressure range from 0.3 to 5 bar, making it more comfortable for the patient and allowing Fascia and Spine treatments. NOTE: PERI-V-ACTOR® and SPINE-V-ACTOR® can only be used under 3 Bar pressure.

The clinical evidence on the benefits of shockwave is fairly compelling and fairly clear it can be very successful treating recalcitrant conditions such as tendinopathies. One of the biggest obstacles in purchasing a Shockwave unit therefore, is the expense and the clinician not sure they can justify this expense. Breaking down the costs by number of treatments and treatment costs can help the clinician see how long a shockwave units will take to pay for themselves.
