The acoustic pressure field generated by shock waves is a divergent field that naturally tends to produce specific spatial gradients.

In CTU S Wave, the operator, through a simple and intuitive software interface, can change the temporal and spatial gradient of the emitted shock wave, depending on the impedance, elasticity and absorption characteristics of the various damaged biological tissues. The technological innovation of CTU S Wave is a more effective approach to the pathology to be treated.

Furthermore, CTU S Wave combines the effects of the induced energy component of the pressure field connected to the shock wave with the effects of diamagnetic repulsion by associating the biostimulant action with a drainage effect that allows the reduction of treatment time by optimizing the healing time.

The CTU S Wave shock wave generator is a patented device and it is the only one that can offer the possibility of modulating in context the following values:

spatial / temporal gradient of the wave
power (i.e. pressure gradient)
waveform (defined «envelope of the generated wave»)
general energy that will influence the desired effect on the tissue three-dimensional holographic focus on the tissue under treatment DIAMAGNETIC GENERATOR
CTU S Wave has an electromagnetic generator, and this causes a substantial evolution of the transduction process.
When the shock wave develops, the magnetic energy is translated into mechanical energy and transferred to the tissues through special focus lenses that behave like Fresnel lenses. Fresnel lenses are convenient because they allow a flat contact surface with a very small volume, which facilitates their placement and application.. The lenses can be divided into series of annular concentric sections to obtain different focal lengths but also different focal geometries, again adjusting the pressure wave towards the anatomical area and pathology.

The flat lens reduces the painful component that is generated through contact, that is, through the request of more superficial nerve pain receptors.
The residual magnetic energy, directs the transduction effect in the tissues, is used to obtain an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect that increases the effectiveness of the treatment for shock waves.

By using the unique diamagnetic effect of CTU S Wave, the interaction of the magnetic field in the tissues can intensify and spread over time, even during therapy, and other effects can occur, other than those normally produced by the waves of traditional shock. Acquired:

analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect;
acceleration of the soft tissue repair process (ulcers, hard-to-heal wounds, burns);
drainage by DIAMAGNETIC ACTION of edematous tissues and accumulations of waste arising during decomposition, and by the inflammatory condition of the tissue under treatment;
total absence of pain during application due to the effect of hyperpolarization of the cell wall.

CONTROLLING THE WAVE SHAPE MAKES THERAPY MORE EFFICIENT
The acoustic pressure field of shock waves is a divergent field that naturally tends to produce specific spatial gradients. In shock wave generators without diamagnetic technology, the spatial gradients cannot be adjusted and modulated, therefore only an immutable waveform is generated.

On the contrary, a generator with diamagnetic technology allows intervention in the spatial gradients generated, positively influencing the pathology in relation to the depth, the anatomical area and the type of tissue influenced.

TOTAL ABSENCE OF PAIN
The proprietary property of the CTU S Wave «diamagnetic» generator to intervene in space-time gradients of pulses, also allows efficient control of the painful component that is completely absent during treatment.

METHOD
SPACE APPROACH (caused by the effect of the type of lens used, the selected power and the adapted wavefront) CTU S Wave is equipped with a set of special lenses, built according to the principles of Fresnel lenses, each of which characterizes the focus geometry of the pulse in tissues during energetic emission. According to this principle, the treatment method can be both focused and radial, satisfying the different therapeutic needs.

TEMPORARY APPROACH (caused by the effect of the selected operating mode and the matched wavefront) The temporary modulation of the energy pulses makes it possible to vary the amount of energy that will be emitted in the unit of time in the various tissues to avoid overloads and sudden damage to the tissues that are not under treatment.

OPERATING MODE
CTU S Wave It is the only device that allows shock wave treatments to be performed by selecting mechanisms of action and modes of operation for a stable adjustment of the sound properties of the tissues and of the pathological anatomical phase. In particular, with CTU S Wave you can change:

the total energy emitted, that is, the time interval when the selected power is expressed.
depends on the effect I want to obtain on the tissues (separation of component calcification and / or fibrosis, stimulation, drainage), on the interaction in soft / hard tissues and on the acute / chronic phase of the pathology;
the wavefront, represents the envelope of the generated wave and, therefore, the gradient field. The wider the wavefront, the faster the pulse will be and therefore the stiffer the intervention will be in the tissues. The wavefront coupled with the selection of the operating mode allows a specific adjustment to the tissues by increasing the therapeutic efficacy and reducing or completely eliminating the painful component.
power, that is, the pressure gradient that will be generated in the tissues. The higher the selected power, the greater the pressure exerted on the tissues.
The selection of treatment parameters takes into account:

the painful phase of the pathology,
the presence of acute or chronic trauma,
interaction with a resistant or soft tissue.
DIAMAGNETIC EFFECT
With CTU S Wave, when the shock wave is developed, it is transduced from magnetic energy to mechanical energy with special focusing lenses on tissues. The residual magnetic energy, after the transduction effect in the tissues, is used to obtain an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect that increases the effectiveness of the shock wave treatment.
