Extracorporeal shockwaves have been

used successfully in the treatment

of chronic pain since the early ‘90s.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy

(ESWT) and trigger point shock wave

therapy (TPST) are highly efficient,

non-surgical treatments for chronic

pain in the musculoskeletal system.

The PiezoWave Vet from Richard Wolf

unites orthopaedic ESWT applications

with the applications of TPST and

represents a significant expansion

of the application spectrum in

myofascial pain syndrome. The

extracorporeal, focused shock wave

allows precise diagnosis and therapy

of active and latent trigger points.

Trigger points are thickened, pain-

sensitive points within a usually

tense muscle. They can cause a

variety of pains – even well away

from their own location.

Expanding your non-surgical

musculoskeletal treatment

options

The PiezoWave Vet is a compact and

very mobile ESWT unit for individual

therapy options.

• Much quieter than other ESWT

products so patients are more

compliant

• Cost of ownership is considerably less

that other focused ESWT products

• Low energy protocols allow you to

avoid patient sedation

• Non-invasive alternative that satis-

fies your client‘s non-surgical needs

Advantages in ESWT

• High, clearly defined depth of pe-

netration

• Highly accurate treatment

• Maximum energy directly in the

treatment area

• No skin irritation

• Low risk of haematoma

• Practically maintenance-free

Indications

• Diseases of the tendons and

synovial sheaths

• Chronic joint disease (wear,

functional restrictions)

• Changes to the vertebrae

(spondylosis)

• Deformities of the hip (HD hip

dysplasia)

• Acceleration of bone growth

following fractures

Advantages in myofascial

treatments

• Transportable, focused ESWT

system

• Deep penetration up to 40 mm

• Treatment with a pulse frequency up

to 8 Hz

• Precise localization of trigger points

and pain spots

• Broad range of applications

• Individual therapy options

• Long working life – extremely

economical

Gentle therapy for chronic pain

How it works

The heart of the Richard Wolf

PiezoWave Vet is the compact

piezo shock-wave source with its

outstanding characteristics.

The device is simple to control from

the top panel of the multifunction

operator control and display unit.

All the device parameters can be set

and monitored with precision.

At the therapy source, the depth of

penetration can be varied by using

gel pads of different thicknesses.

A further advantage is the large-area

energy coupling with an aperture

angle of 94°. This lowers the energy

density at the surface of the skin

and reduces pain. 20 intensity levels

allow finely adjusted application

of energy and treatment without

sedation.

Treatment Effects

Analgesia

Hyperstimulation analgesia

• Excitement of the inhibitory system

• Inhibition of spinal afferents

(gate control)

Activation of the metabolic

system

• Release of Nitric Oxide

• Vascular endothelial growth factor

(VEGF)

• Bone morphogenetic protein

(BMP)

• Substance P

• Migration of mesenchymal stem

cells

Treatment

200 - 2000 Shockwave impulses

depending on the size

of the animal and the size of the

application area.

Single-layer technology:

Peak pressures of up to

82 MPa and energy flux

density of up to

0.822 mJ/mm2
