DEVICE: TheraTouch SW1 (00092237626924)

An electrically-powered assembly of devices designed to provide noninvasive spark-gap-generated (electrohydraulic) extracorporeal shock wave therapy [ESWT] to treat a variety of conditions (e.g., tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, acute wounds, pelvic pain) across a range of clinical disciplines [e.g., orthopaedics, dermatology, urology]. It typically consists of a generator/control unit, a foot-switch, and a hand-held applicator designed for transcutaneous transmission of acoustic shock waves to the target area. The applied energy is intended to stimulate the body's natural healing processes.

A hand-held device designed to apply pneumatic energy, from an orthopaedic extracorporeal shock wave therapy (OEST) system or a system control unit, to the site of a musculoskeletal disorder (usually pain) for the production of shock waves for treatment. It typically includes a flexible conduit that plugs into the control unit, and has a head portion that is moved over the surface of the body area to be treated. It is available in various sizes to treat different musculoskeletal disorders. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held device designed to transfer kinetic energy to a site on the body to create mechanical shock waves, at selected amplitudes and frequencies, to treat musculoskeletal disorders. It typically includes a conduit that plugs into an electrical control unit where the energy is generated, and has a head portion that is moved over the surface of the treatment area. It is available in various sizes or has exchangeable tips to treat different musculoskeletal disorders. This is a reusable device.
