The Dornier Epos Ultra was designed specifically for orthopedic use and is an innovative combination of superior performance and reliability. Based on Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) invented by Dornier MedTech in the early 1980s, a similar treatment, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), has for many years been successfully used for a variety of indications in many parts of the world. The high quality, high energy orthopedic shock wave device consists of three primary parts: ultrasound imaging system, shockwave therapy system, articulated arm.
Ultrasound Imaging System
Unique to the Dornier Epos Ultra is imaging guidance. Ultrasound provides precise localization and excellent imaging quality, allowing the user to continuously observe and control therapy. The treatment area can be viewed from various angles and a crosshair is depicted in the image to indicate the exact therapy focus.
Shock Wave Therapy System
Using Dornier's proven Electromagnetic Shock Wave Emitter (EMSE) technology produces consistent, high energy shock waves. These shock waves travel through the therapy head's water-filled cushion. The cushion is coupled with the area being treated.
- Versatile, controlled power ranges from high, medium to low energy levels
- High number of shocks per minute
Articulated Arm
The ultrasound articulated arm is attached to the system's therapy head and is easily moved. This allows the therapy head to be freely positioned and closely aligned to the area being treated.
Optimal Positioning
The flexible therapy head supports both lateral and horizontal orientations. This ensures optimal positioning, effective coupling and increased patient comfort.
Ergonomic Design
The sleek, ergonomic design makes set-up quick and easy.
- Quiet, lightweight and easily transportable
- Plug and Play design
- Simple-to-use hand control puts all the system functions right at the user's fingertips
