Technical features
• Intensity: 0.1 – 5 bareq
• Frequency: 1 – 27 Hz, »HF Burst Mode«: 50 Hz
• V-ACTOR® »HS« (high-speed): 1 – 100 Hz
• User-friendliness: The intuitive operation of the user interface and the handpieces ensures easy and safe use.
• Elegant design: The device is an attractive complement to the treatment space thanks to its carefully considered design. The light signature integrated in the handpiece indicates the strength of the applied intensity by colour.
• Organisation: The two drawers help you to ensure your workplace stays tidy and well-organised at all times. The cable guard on the wheel enables the device to be manoeuvred easily and safely in the practice setting.
The »Endurance« handpiece was developed with an express focus on lifespan, performance and user-friendliness. Innovative technology and ergonomic design enable the user to work without fatigue, even on deeper tissue structures.
• Design: The handpiece was developed to enable a variety of holding positions, with a particular emphasis on the power grip, while the control elements remain easy to access.
• Comfort: Handpiece vibrations are largely absorbed during treatment, which increases user comfort during applications.
• Operational ergonomics: Thanks to carefully designed weight distribution in the handpiece, the user’s hand control is ensured even during intensive application.
• Visual feedback for the user: The applied intensity level is indicated by coloured illumination.
• Precision: The patented double-valve technology enables precise control of shock wave energy, ensuring the highest accuracy and reproducible treatment outcomes.
The innovative »HF Burst Mode« ¬–
for the first time with deep-tissue action
The powerful radial shock wave device from the successful MASTERPULS® range was developed to close the technological and therapeutic gap between conventional radial shock wave therapy and focused shock wave therapy. The MASTERPULS® icon performs impressively thanks to effective and individually adaptable therapies, with high comfort and enhanced deep-tissue action (»Deep R-SW«), while the wide intensity range is adapted specifically to the individual patient’s pain tolerance level.
»HF Burst Mode«:The unique »high frequency« Burst Mode is characterised by a rapid, high-energy series of 50 Hz pulses and was developed by STORZ MEDICAL for the highest therapeutic requirements.
Key application areas of the »HF Burst Mode«:
• Intensive treatments of muscle trigger points and fascia in sportspeople
• Shortened treatments for patients sensitive to pain
• Muscle stiffening due to overstrain or as a result of stress
• Deep trigger and acupuncture points in cases of muscle stiffening
»Deep R-SW«
with intensity range extended by 30%
STORZ MEDICAL sets great store by scientific accuracy and excellence when developing new technologies. In this way, the new MASTERPULS® icon »Endurance« handpiece was created in close collaboration with experienced clinical users, with unique deep-tissue action and a 30% higher performance range for intensive and especially pain-reducing applications.
MASTERPULS® icon – Extended intensity range
»Deep R-SW«
with unsurpassed deep-tissue action
Laboratory tests have established benefits of the new MASTERPULS® icon with »Deep R-SW« over conventional R-SW. They showed that the »Deep R-SW« of the new MASTERPULS® icon also enables deeper tissue zones to be reached, thereby activating the healing processes at myotendinous junctions or in scar tissue. This closes the gap between conventional radial and focused shock wave therapies.
The transmitter range with automatic recognition of the transmitter being used.
Radial transmitters for all standard indications
The radial transmitters cover a wide range of conventional shock wave indications. Various materials and shapes are suitable for different anatomical structures and therapeutic target areas.
PERI-ACTOR®- transmitters for fascia therapy
The PERI-ACTOR® transmitters according to Swart/Di Maio were developed especially for fascia treatment. Their shapes and material properties are adapted to the musculature and tissue structure, enabling the targeted release of fascial restrictions and potentially resulting in noticeably improved mobility.
SPINE-ACTOR® transmitters for spinal musculature
The SPINE-ACTOR® transmitters with »Double Tip« shape have been designed for the paravertebral region. They make it possible to apply precise treatment along the spinal column for back pain, muscular imbalance and functional symptoms.
• Automatic transmitter recognition: The integrated RFID chip enables recognition of the transmitter being used.
• The Quick-Lock mechanism enables the transmitter to be changed in a matter of seconds, saving valuable time when preparing for and during treatment and when cleaning.
Application range
The MASTERPULS® icon – »Deep R-SW« provides radial shock wave therapy for a wide range of indications and enables the diverse treatment of a variety of symptoms, from muscle tension through to tendinopathy and spasticity.
The V-ACTOR® »HS« handpiece up to 100 Hz
To support more rapid healing processes and shorter regeneration times
With an outstanding frequency range of up to 100 Hz, the V-ACTOR® »HS« handpiece (high-speed) promotes resonance vibrations in the treated muscles as a key driving force behind microcirculatory processes. Muscle tension may be normalised in the long term by deep massage. Shortening and stiffening of the fascia and muscle fibres may be resolved with targeted spreading and smoothing action. The new V-ACTOR® »HS« handpiece is therefore the perfect addition to shock wave therapy.
How healing processes can be influenced by different frequencies.
• Low frequencies (1 – 35 Hz):
Low frequencies are used with the aim of relaxing and substantially activating the neuromuscular system the localised metabolism.
• Medium frequencies (36 – 50 Hz):
The medium range may trigger a tonic vibration reflex, leading to tone reduction in cases of spasticity and overly tense tissue.
• High frequencies (51 – 100 Hz):
High frequencies can override pain signals. Stronger stimulation of the treated tissue structure and intensive sensory stimulation may treat pain and normalise the level of muscle tension.
