5 Product description
What does Endopuls 811 do?
Creation of shockwaves using an ergonomic hand-piece and the transmittal of the shockwaves via
special applicators. The Endopuls 811has a maximum penetration depth of about 35 mm in human
tissue.
The technology:
An electromagnetic field is generated via a coil in the back of the hand-piece.
A projectile is accelerated as a result of the field; this strikes against the applicator at the front of the
hand-piece and generates shockwaves, which spread out radially in the tissue.
The advantage:
The innovative technology allows a compact design with no need for a compressor.
The clear and modern colour display shows all relevant parameters for treatment and the modern touch
operation ensures pleasure and motivation when providing treatment.
Individual programme start configuration and clear, simple menu navigation make operation of the device
easy and comfortable for users.
Infinitely variable frequencies and various applicators allow treatment to be adapted to the particular
condition of the patient.
The compact design saves room in the practice and is highly suited for home visits.
Note: The device should only be used by medical specialists (e.g., doctors, therapists and health
paraprofessionals).
The Endopuls 811has been constructed and designed solely for the treatment of superficial orthopaedic
problems in humans and animals.
