Chattanooga R-SW Hand Piece Applicator Set

Delivering precise radial shockwave therapy requires tools that adapt to the unique physiological needs of every patient. The R-SW Hand Piece Applicator Set provides a comprehensive solution for clinicians seeking versatility and reliability in their treatment protocols. Engineered for high-volume clinical environments, this set ensures you have the correct transmitter for every indication, from superficial tendonopathies to deeper myofascial trigger points.

The hand piece itself is constructed with a focus on hemodynamic balance and vibration absorption. This thoughtful design minimizes the recoil felt by the practitioner, allowing for consecutive treatments without hand fatigue or strain. The internal projectile mechanism is calibrated for consistent energy output, ensuring that the acoustic waves penetrate the tissue effectively at the prescribed frequency and pressure. By offering a range of applicator heads, this set empowers you to customize the treatment area, depth, and intensity, resulting in improved patient outcomes and a more efficient workflow in your practice.

Key Features and Benefits

• Ergonomic Weight Distribution: The handpiece is balanced to sit naturally in the hand, significantly reducing wrist strain and operator fatigue during high-volume clinic days.
• Superior Shock Absorption: An integrated air-cushion system within the handpiece absorbs excess vibration, protecting the practitioner from repetitive impact stress while directing maximum energy into the patient's tissue.
• Versatile Transmitter Range: Includes a comprehensive suite of applicator heads (ranging from focal points to broad energy beams) to treat diverse anatomical areas with specific depth requirements.
• High-Efficiency Energy Transfer: The internal projectile mechanism is calibrated to deliver consistent acoustic energy with minimal loss, ensuring therapeutic protocols are met with fewer pulses.
• Durable Medical-Grade Construction: Built with robust materials designed to withstand continuous daily use and rigorous cleaning protocols without degradation of surface integrity.

Indications for Use

The R-SW Hand Piece Applicator Set is intended for the application of Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. Common indications include:

• Chronic Tendinopathies: Effective for treating Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee), and lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow).
• Plantar Fasciitis: Addresses heel pain and heel spurs by stimulating healing in the plantar fascia.
• Myofascial Trigger Points: Deactivates trigger points in the neck, back, and gluteal muscles to relieve referred pain.
• Calcifications: Assists in the breakdown of calcific deposits in soft tissue, particularly in the shoulder (calcific tendonitis).
• Muscle Activation: Improves circulation and reduces muscle tension prior to rehabilitation exercises.
