ESWT, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

ESWT uses shock waves (also known as pressure or sound waves) delivered outside the body to trigger an individual's own repair mechanisms. Additionally, shock waves help to reduce sensitivity and pain.

• A safe and non-invasive treatment option
• Relieves pain and provides a short recovery period
• Little or no side effects
• Treatment lasts approximately half an hour
• During treatment, the patient can be seated in a chair or positioned on an exam table

EMSE, Electromagnetic Shock Wave Emitter

Based upon years of clinical experience, Dornier has evolved its electromagnetic shock wave source to the highest level of efficacy. Today hundreds of physicians trust this proven EMSE technology to deliver consistent, reliable energy.

With the Dornier Electromagnetic Shock Wave Emitter (EMSE), a pulsed electrical current flows through a coil that is attached to a thin metallic membrane at the bottom of the emitter. When the membrane is repelled by the magnetic field, a shock wave is generated. An acoustic lens positioned in front of the coupling cushion focuses the shock wave. The end result is a cigar-shaped focal point, which is positioned at the treatment site. The Epos Ultra provides a broad range of energy levels and a constant energy release, as well as a precisely defined focal position.
