Curapuls 970 Shortwave Diathermy

Description; CONTINUOUS AND PULSED OUTPUT The continuously adjustable intensity and the output of 400 Watt provide optimum application possibilities. Continuous shortwave therapy increases the circulation and stimulates the metabolism. The pulsed peak power can be set to a maximum of 1000 Watts. The related average power is, however, much lower. Biological processes, which should not be heat-treated, can therefore be treated a-thermally. THE ELECTRODES; An electrical field can be created with the disc electrodes or the rubber electrodes, depending on the shape and size of the body part to be treated. A choice can be made from a wide range of capacitive electrodes. A magnetic field can be created with the Circuplode or with the Flexiplode. The treatment planes of the Flexiplode can be adjusted to fit the body part. STRIKING EFFECTS; Besides the well known effects of heat therapy with continuous radiation, the unit’s pulsed mode will stimulate wound healing, oedema and haematoma absorption, pain reduction and stimulation of the peripheral circulation.
