When treating patients, it can be important to have access to modalities that can be used with patients unattended. The Intelect Shortwave Diathermy device was designed for safe, unattended use. When used in both rehabilitation and recovery settings, diathermy can help patients improve their circulation and range of motion, at the same time reducing both swelling and pain. Shortwave diathermy works by generating high-frequency, electromagnetic energy which aids in increasing cellular metabolism which in turn improves recovery time. This is beneficial in both clinical and training settings.
What sets the SWD 100 apart from other shortwave diathermy devices is that it provides several intuitive, easy to use features to improve both practitioner interface and patient response. One of these features is a full color LCD touch-screen interface which makes for quick and easy program selection. In addition, the Chattanooga SWD 100 includes multilingual software and over 90 clinical protocols pre-programmed to further reduce set-up time. With quick-link indications for a wide variety of treatment setup options, the Chattanooga shortwave diathermy takes the question out of set-up for most patient conditions and injuries. Not only that, but with the ability to store up to 200 user defined protocols in available storage slots, practitioners can easily customize treatments and keep them for future use.
