Radial shockwave is the most common type of shockwave therapy used in most clinics. However, focused shockwave is also gaining popularity for more acute cases because it offers greater treatment options, treatment precision, and patient comfort.
Focused and radial shock waves differ not only in the way they are generated, but also in the magnitude of the standard parameters used (pressure amplitude, pulse duration, impact) and the therapeutic tissue penetration depths achieved.
The doctor must choose the right device based on the specific use and treatment needs. Orthopedists, physiotherapists, and urologists use both devices. However, despite the greater effectiveness of focused ESWT devices compared to radial models, radial models are often used in orthopedics and physiotherapy due to their affordability.
İnceler Medikal manufactures both focused and radial ESWT devices. Urologists prefer focused devices for treating conditions such as erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease. Radial devices are most successful in orthopedic applications such as Achilles tendon repair, bone fracture treatment, and plantar fasciitis. Therefore, the choice of device type depends entirely on the physician's preference and specialty.

Electrohydraulic systems are one of the oldest and most effective technologies for generating shock waves. This mechanism creates shock waves by discharging electricity from high-voltage electrodes in a liquid medium. The sudden explosion that occurs during the discharge increases the energy density and is focused to a specific point using a parabolic reflector.
Electrohydraulic devices offer a wide focal length and deep penetration thanks to their high-energy shock wave generation capacity. This technology provides an effective and reliable solution for a wide range of treatments, from musculoskeletal disorders to urological problems.
