The Primo Shockwave device delivers this energy through an electromechanical process as opposed to compressed mechanical energy, providing a more comfortable patient experience. The device has a treatment protocol that includes a number of approved treatment suggestions for a range of common patient conditions. Personal settings can be saved. The device is easy and intuitive to use via the menu navigation.

What is shock wave therapy?

RPW shock wave therapy uses controlled mechanical energy to improve the mobility of your patients' musculoskeletal system and provide drug-free pain relief. It is a safe, non-invasive and fast method of treating superficial orthopaedic conditions that does not require surgical intervention. Instead of compressed mechanical energy, the Primo Radial Shockwave unit delivers energy through an electromechanical process, increasing patient comfort. The unit offers a range of recognized treatment suggestions for common conditions and also allows personal setups to be saved. The system is easy to use and intuitive.

Contraindications

Patients in whom pregnancy is confirmed or suspected. Children under 18 years of age. Infectious skin diseases. Patient with tumor in the treatment area. Do not apply radial waves to implanted devices. To reduce the occurrence of malfunctions, a distance of at least 5 cm must be maintained between the shock wave applicator and the implanted device. For pacemakers or implantable defibrillators: The generator should be programmed to a single chamber and should not respond to the frequency. mode (pacemakers) or inactive mode (implantable defibrillators). Do not apply radial waves to areas suffering from superficial venous disease such as thrombosis. For patients with skin infections in the treatment area, precautions should be taken to avoid cross-contamination.

Note

Therapy should only be carried out by qualified and trained personnel who are experienced in using this device and have undergone appropriate training.
