Sonopulse III is microcontrolled therapeutic ultrasound equipment at frequencies of 1 MHz and 3 MHz developed to be used in physiotherapy and aesthetics. It presents the ERA (Effective Radiation Area) of 3.5 cm², allowing the selection of frequency of 1 MHz or 3 MHz. The ultrasound maximum output power is of 7 Watts for the ERA of 3.5 cm³; therefore, the maximum power is of 2 W/cm.
Features and Benefits
-
The ultrasound emission mode can be adjusted for continuous or pulsed, being the pulsed mode with pulse repetition frequency of 100 Hz, 48 Hz or 16 Hz and with pulse ratio of 1/2 (50%) and 1/5 (20%).
-
Has a key called PROG which allows the choice of pre-programmed treatment programs (recorded in the device memory).
-
The therapeutic ultrasound is commonly indicated for pain relief, reduction of muscle spasms, increase of local blood flow, and increase in movement amplitude of joint contractures using heat associated with stretching techniques.
