Product Description
SMART-WAVE Version 10.0 Veterinary Shockwave Therapy System is a professional solution for orthopedic and soft tissue injury treatment in veterinary medicine. Designed specifically for equine practice, small animals, and other veterinary applications, it treats various orthopedic conditions, acute/chronic soft tissue injuries, and bone/joint diseases through mechanical energy wave therapy.
Firing shock waves repeatedly at tissue creates microtrauma, stimulating an increase in blood flow and new blood vessel formation. This improved blood supply and provision of tissue nutrients are vital features of the healing process. ESWT jump-starts the healing process in chronic, non-healing injuries by eliciting active inflammation.
Therapeutic Advantages for Animals
Non-Invasive & Drug-Free Approach: Avoids surgical risks and reduces reliance on anti-inflammatory medications.
Precision Energy Delivery: Adjustable levels (10-190 mJ) and frequencies (1-22 Hz) allow for tailored treatment for both acute and chronic conditions.
Minimal Patient Discomfort: Ergonomic handpiece design and ultra-thin silicon caps minimize pain during sessions.
Wound & Musculoskeletal Management
ESWT is highly effective for superficial wound care. While it doesn't necessarily speed up the rate of epithelialization, it prevents conditions like "proud flesh" and maintains healthier tissue. It also serves as an antibacterial treatment by weakening bacterial cell barriers to diminish infection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What animals can be treated with this shockwave system?
The system is designed for equine practice (racehorses and sport horses), small animals like dogs and cats, and geriatric animals in rehabilitation centers.
Is the treatment painful or does it require anesthesia?
One of the primary advantages is that it is non-invasive and typically does not require sedation or anesthesia. The ergonomic design and specialized tips minimize discomfort.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
Many animals show rapid pain relief. While the average treatment for injuries ranges from 6-10 sessions, fast results are often observed within just 3-5 treatments.
What are the main musculoskeletal conditions treated in horses?
It is highly effective for suspensory ligament branch injuries, navicular disease, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, and chronic back pain.
Does the system help with wound healing?
Yes, ESWT is used for wound management. It helps prevent exuberant granulation tissue (proud flesh) and acts as an antibacterial treatment to reduce contamination.
What is the lifespan of the handpiece?
The handpieces are highly reliable, guaranteed for at least 2 million shots, with most typically lasting between 3.5 to 4 million shots.
