Blue DolorClast® Radial Shock Waves Handpiece

What is the Blue DolorClast® Radial Shock Waves Handpiece?

The Blue DolorClast® Radial Shock Waves handpiece is the most powerful handpiece on the market and the only one capable of delivering shock waves at up to 25 Hz.

It is the handpiece integrated into the DolorClast® Radial Shock Waves system.

The formula for success

High energy level

The following images illustrate the maximum cavitation level (black dots) generated by different radial shock wave handpieces at maximum pressure settings and 15 Hz.

Clinically Proven Effectiveness

The more energy delivered to the tissue, the greater the therapeutic outcome. In this regard, the following has been established:

• “An important tissue effect is the cavitation resulting from the negative phase of wave propagation” (Ogden et al., 2001)

• “Both parameters (compression phase and cavitation) may have significant consequences for the therapeutic bioeffect” (Pérez et al., 2014)

• “The contribution of cavitation to the therapeutic effect of radial shock waves was recently demonstrated in an advanced animal model” (Angstman et al., 2015)

Radial Shock Waves

A shock wave begins with a compression phase. The pressure peak creates shear stress within the tissues. In focused shock waves, the maximum pressure is generally higher than in radial shock waves, although the energy density is equivalent.
