Gymna Thermo 500: Pulsed Shortwave Diathermy for Effective Therapeutic Management
The Gymna Thermo 500 is a pulsed shortwave diathermy device designed to treat a wide range of soft tissue pathologies and joint conditions. It is intended for healthcare professionals seeking to provide effective and tailored therapy for their patients.
Its operation relies on the application of pulsed shortwaves, offering an athermal approach ideal for managing acute inflammation, post-operative injuries, and recent traumas. This technique promotes healing while minimizing heat transfer to surrounding tissues. By adjusting specific parameters, the device generates an effective thermal effect beneficial for chronic conditions such as tendinitis, muscle contractures, and lower back pain.
The Thermo 500 is equipped with Thermoplodes electrodes, designed to ensure uniform energy distribution without excessive absorption by adipose tissues. A Faraday shield limits interference with other medical equipment, ensuring safe use. A 14 cm diameter Thermoplode is suitable for treating large muscle areas, while an optional 8 cm Thermoplode is available for treating joints and more localized areas.
One of the Thermo 500's strengths is its ability to treat two areas simultaneously with its two independent channels. This feature optimizes treatment sessions by combining different electrode sizes for tailored care. Its automatic regulation system adjusts energy emission based on the connected electrode diameter, ensuring precise wave diffusion.
The Thermo 500's interface is designed for intuitive user experience. It offers 38 pre-programmed protocols covering a wide range of indications, including quadriceps tendinitis, epicondylitis, and myalgia. Users can save up to 50 custom protocols, allowing for precise adaptation to specific patient needs.
In terms of safety, the device features an intelligent energy transfer control system. If an electrode moves or loses optimal skin contact, the treatment is automatically paused, and an audible and visual alert notifies the user. This ensures maximum efficiency while preventing risks of overheating or improper application.
