“Unit for continuous and pulsed shortwave therapy”
Apart from the therapeutic effect of pulsed shortwave therapy, as described with the Curapuls 670, continuous shortwave therapy can also be applied with the the Curapuls 970, the real diathermy. By using the different methods of placing the electrodes (transverse, longitudinal or co-planary), or by using different sized electrodes, a thermal effect can be obtained in selected parts of the body. As the continuous output also has a stronger effectin the surface layers, the patient will also experience a strong thermal effect.
