O.P.A.F. -High-Frequency Pressure Waves Therapy
O.P.A.F.® THERAPY introduces a new method that, by exploiting modulated frequencies and varying emission, provides high power energies to tissues at di?erent depths. The operator can now use an equipment that is safe, e?ective, highly tolerated by patients and usable for multiple pathologies.
O.P.A.F.® THERAPY adopts an innovative multi-frequency piezoelectric disc 1/3 MHz with peak power density 5 W/cm2, a basic feature to transfer greats amounts of mechanical energy deep in tissues.
O.P.A.F.® THERAPY is equipped with ONE SHOT function, with controlled activation for high-dose focalized treatments. The ONE SHOT function allows to exploit the energy emission at the maximum power (5W/cm2) in just ONE SHOT. Due to the high mechanical e?ect, the disintegration of calci?cations is the main application of this particular function.
Thanks to an innovative output stage in class E, introduced by Fisioline®, the power transmission to tissues by the O.P.A.F.® THERAPY applicator is optimized and maximized.
An instrument to detect the reference signal constantly analyzes the variation of impedance of treated tissues keeping the power density (W/cm2) automatically constant as established by the operator.
The dispersion of energy is insigni?cant and the emitted energy is actually the selected one. This feature maintains the desired mechanical e?ect through the passing of the pressure wave to the di?erent tissues.
O.P.A.F.® THERAPY is a medical device for ultrasound therapy that can be used autonomously both by doctors and physiotherapists.
O.P.A.F.® THERAPY uses a multifrequency transducer with focalized and modulated beams. By setting different emission times for each frequency, operators obtain a double combined action with a variable effect: mechanical and thermal effects.
The mechanical action reduces and resolves calcifications, the immediate release of joints and reabsorption of intramuscular liquids. The thermal effect, superficial and deep, interacts directly with the displacement of liquids and promotes lymphatic drainage.
Thanks to the high-power micro-pulses of O.P.A.F.® THERAPY the patient’s tolerability is excellent among high energy pressure waves devices. The pain sensation is signifi cantly lower compared to conventional shockwave devices.
O.P.A.F.® THERAPY is effective immediately from the first session on many pathologies such as shoulder impingement, bursitis, trigger finger, articular rigidity, Dupuytren’s contracture, muscle contractures and fibrous adhesions.
