Quick Overview

Prestige Line Ultrasonic 1000 Range of equipment for ultrasound therapy 1/3 MHz. 

Applications of Ultrasounds The application of ultrasounds for therapeutical use on human tissues involves a high-frequency cellular and intercellular massage. Moreover ultrasounds can also be used in immersion, the head is immersed in the water together with the body region to be treated. The tissues irradiated with ultrasounds start vibrating with a following energy waste and heat production. All this shows the ultrasounds’ biological effects, namely the mechanical and the diathermic effect:

1.MECHANICAL effect Expands through the rhytmic tissue compression and decompression. The tissue particles receiving the vibrating flux are all stressed one after the other at the same speed and acceleration rate.

2.DIATHERMIC mechanism: Probably with biological effects is becoming possible with watt/cm2 energy flux. While the sound spreads through the tissues it is absorbed and converted into heat. The temperature distribution caused by the ultrasound in the tissues is unique within all forms of deep heating: the temperature increases relatively little in the tissue surface and it is more likely to penetrate into the muscles and the soft tissues compared to the diathermic effect produced with short waves or microwaves.

3.CHEMICAL effect It is strictly connected to a typical phenomenon caused by ultrasounds, the so called “cavitation”, which takes place in the fluid components of the tissues where the small gas bubbles tend to increase their dimension and starts the oxidation, polymerization and the destruction of macromolecules
