SHORT WAVES
THERMOPULSE is an electromedical shortwave diathermy device indicated for the treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders using capacitive and/or inductive electrodes.
Key Features (Differentials)
• Short wave diathermy is a safe, non-invasive thermotherapy technique that is more effective than superficial heat applications. Operates at a frequency of 27.12 MHz.
• Intuitive, easy-to-read display with touchscreen interface.
• Ergonomic cabinet with wheels (casters) that ease mobility.
• Supports both capacitive and inductive electrodes, enabling safe and comfortable application tailored to each patient’s therapeutic needs.
• Two application methods are available: inductive and capacitive.
• Ability to program up to 10 individual protocols, enhancing clinical workflow efficiency.
• Automatic tuning in any mode—ensuring maximum energy transfer to the patient throughout treatment.
Physiology
The high-frequency electromagnetic field induces heating of biological tissues through dipole rotation. When rapidly reversing electric fields are applied to polar molecules, they rotate; the resulting molecular friction generates heat.
Additional Information
Product Description
THERMOPULSE delivers intentional electromagnetic radiation as a radiofrequency-based shortwave diathermy for treating various conditions. Its ability to deeply penetrate tissues offers superior benefits compared to superficial heating methods. Usage is restricted to prescription and supervision by a licensed professional.

Application Methods
Inductive Method:
Uses a flat spiral coil to produce a high-frequency magnetic field.
Capacitive Method:
Uses rigid metal plates wrapped in plastic to produce a high-frequency electric field.
Coplanar (Parallel) Application: Electrodes placed on the same side of the treatment area for superficial structures.
Contraplanar (Transversal) Application: Electrodes on opposite sides for deeper tissue targeting.
Misaligned Contraplanar (Longitudinal) Application: Energy passes transversely through the treated tissues.
