SHOCK WAVE APPARATUS
The expert-class UHT system includes three modules:
- Radial shock wave block. The module is optimally suited for the treatment of superficial pain points and extended areas such as large fascia or muscles. The unit features an ergonomic handle for the FALCON radial UHT, vacuum treatment and vibration stimulation applicators that complement and enhance shock wave therapy.
- Focused shock therapy unit. The module is used for a powerful impact on pathological foci of any location and extent: trigger points, inflammation and damage to the skin, muscles, tendons, bones at a depth of up to 12.5 cm. The unit includes a focused SEPIA applicator, which concentrates more energy in one zone, and a planar applicator C-ACTOR for working with large surfaces.
- Innovative control unit. The block provides a color touch tablet with 45 treatment programs, an electronic handbook with photos and videos, and a patient database. The doctor can control the procedure from both the tablet and the UHT applicators, as they all have buttons to adjust the parameters.
An important advantage of the system is the possibility of comprehensive UHT treatment. Combining different types of shock waves in one procedure, the doctor qualitatively works out superficial and deep disorders of the skin, muscles, ligaments and bones in any areas of the body. Combined SWT has proven its effectiveness in a variety of disorders: heel spurs, enthesopathy (inflammation at the attachment sites of tendons), muscle imbalances in athletes, pain in the neck, back and lower back due to osteochondrosis, delayed healing of fractures, chronic prostatitis and erectile dysfunction in men, etc.
DUOLITH SD1 TOWER Ultra is actively used in private and public medical centers: urological, traumatological, rehabilitative and sports medicine. The expert 5-in-1 UHT system made in Switzerland will expand the range of medical services and significantly improve their quality, as well as raise the prestige of the clinic in the eyes of patients.
AREAS OF USE
Shock wave therapy on the DUOLITH SD1 TOWER system is used in the treatment of diseases of various profiles:
- Orthopedics, traumatology: injuries of muscles, tendons, fascia, fractures, heel spurs, tarsal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, epicondylitis, bursitis.
- Urology: chronic pelvic syndrome, fibroplastic curvature of the penis, erectile dysfunction.
- Sports medicine: occupational diseases of athletes – "golfer's elbow", tibial stress syndrome, "jumper's knee", "split" tibia, etc.
- Rheumatology: arthritis and arthrosis in autoimmune and metabolic diseases.
- Neurology: myofascial syndrome (neck, shoulder, hip pain), muscle contracture, decreased muscle strength after stroke, tension migraines, polyneuropathy, osteochondrosis, protrusions and hernias.
- Dermatology and cosmetology: all stages of cellulite, stretch marks, lipodystrophy, loss of elasticity, swelling, psoriasis, poorly healing ulcers, burns and other wounds, bedsores.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The patient is placed on the couch in a comfortable position. The doctor applies a conductive gel to the affected area, selects the desired program and applicator:
- R-SW FALCON – for the treatment of surface and extended areas with radial wave
- SEPIA – for deep, powerful and precise focused wave action in traumatology and urology
- C-ACTOR – for working on large areas (skin, muscles, bones) with an extremely powerful planar wave in traumatology and dermatology
Next, the specialist starts the procedure and begins treatment. The doctor moves the applicator over the problem area or fixes it over the trigger point. SWT therapy creates favorable conditions for active tissue regeneration, enhances local metabolism, and improves blood flow.
The main therapeutic effects of shock waves are:
- Rapid pain relief
- Tissue regeneration (healing)
- Destruction of fibrosis foci and calcifications
- Elimination of inflammation
- Vasodilation
- Growth of new capillaries in the area of exposure
- Removal of edema
- Harmonization of muscle tone: relaxation of spasmodic muscles and strengthening of weakened muscles
Vacuum therapy with VACU cuppers and vibration therapy performed with the V-ACTOR applicator can consolidate and enhance the results of SWT treatments.
Vacuum action improves lymph flow and blood circulation in muscle tissues, strengthens the vascular wall, and also restores tissues after physical exertion, as it quickly removes lactic acid. Vibration stimulation eliminates muscle spasms or stimulates muscle contraction - depending on the selected mode.
The treatment session lasts from 15 to 25 minutes. On average, the course includes from 3 to 9 procedures with an interval of 3-7 days.

ADVANTAGES
1. High Build Quality – Made in Switzerland
The device itself and all components are developed and manufactured at the STORZ MEDICAL plant in Switzerland. Professional UHT devices produced under this brand have earned many international awards and the trust of medical experts around the world.
2. Excellent treatment results in traumatology and orthopedics
The system provides the ability to carry out combined therapy: radial, focused and planar UHT, to combine each type with vibration and vacuum stimulation. An integrated approach improves the condition of patients of different profiles, starting from the first session.
3. High efficiency in the treatment of urological diseases
Numerous scientific studies in the field of urology have proven the exceptional effectiveness of focused shock waves in the treatment of chronic pelvic syndrome, penile induration, and erectile dysfunction. The SEPIA applicator fully works out the deep pain points of the perineum, the prostate projection area and the pelvic floor. Powerful and precise impulses eliminate even severe pain and neglected inflammation in just a few sessions.
4. Upgrading the status of a medical institution
STORZ MEDICAL UHT systems belong to the premium segment and are the latest generation of high-quality workmanship. The installation of high-class equipment increases the level of services (and, therefore, the prestige and trust in the center), acts as an advantage against competitors and attracts solvent customers.
5. Equipment taking into account the specialization of the medical institution
The DUOLITH SD1 TOWER has 3 modules, and each can be optimized with additional features and accessories. For example, it is more profitable to purchase a narrowly focused set of nozzles, a planar applicator, urological accessories, etc. It is more profitable to assemble an individual configuration of the device, taking into account the needs and profile of the clinic, since in this case the center does not overpay for unnecessary options.
6. Saving in the maintenance of the focused UHT module
The unit is equipped with a replaceable electromagnetic coil, which can be replaced with a new one as the resource is exhausted. The clinic will not have to spend money on expensive applicators, so the procedures will be cheaper.
7. Programs for the most common diagnoses
The system has 46 built-in automatic treatment protocols, visual illustrations and video materials that reduce the time of the procedure and facilitate the work of the specialist.
