The Advanced Digital Ultrasonic Therapy Unit (manufactured by Proxima Physio Care) is a compact, clinical-grade physiotherapy device designed to treat soft tissue injuries, reduce inflammation, and manage chronic pain through high-frequency sound waves.
This unit is an upgraded digital model designed for heavy usage in professional settings, featuring a precise control interface:
Dual Digital LED Displays: One screen displays the output intensity in $Watt/cm^2$, while the second displays a Digital Timer for tracking treatment duration.
Mode Selection Switch: A central toggle switch allows users to alternate between Continuous (Cont.) and Pulse output modes.
Continuous Mode: Provides deep tissue heating to increase blood flow and reduce muscle spasms.
Pulse Mode: Produces a micro-massage effect to reduce inflammation and promote cellular repair without significant heating.
Timer Adjustments: Features dedicated "+" (Up) and "-" (Down) buttons to set specific treatment times, typically ranging from 0 to 99 minutes.
Intensity Control: A smooth rotary dial is used to fine-tune the power output levels during the session.
Operating Frequency: Operates at 1 MHz, providing a penetration depth of approximately 3–5 cm into body tissues.
Maximum Output: Delivers a maximum acoustic output of 15 Watts.
Pulse Ratios: Supports multiple pulse intervals, commonly 1:1, 1:4, 1:7, and 1:10.
Power Supply: Designed for standard clinical use with 220V–230V AC input.
This device is commonly used by physiotherapists to treat various conditions, including:
Musculoskeletal Pain: Relief for osteoarthritis, bursitis, and low back pain.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Treatment for ligament sprains, muscle strains, and tendonitis.
Recovery: Accelerating the breakdown of scar tissue and improving local circulation.
Usage Note: To ensure effective wave transmission, a specialized ultrasound conductive gel must be applied to the skin or applicator head before starting treatment.
