an applicator with a large contact area, an applicator with a small contact area or with both applicators.
The applicators can operate in continuous or pulsed mode at an ultrasound frequency of 1 MHz or 3 MHz.
Contact control suspends the application of ultrasonic energy when acoustical contact with the treatment
area becomes insufficient. The applicators are suitable for subaqual treatments.
Sonopuls 492:
The Sonopuls 492 is a combination device, combining the functions of the Endomed 482 and the
Sonopuls 490 in a single device. With the Sonopuls 492 the simultaneous application of ultrasound and
electrotherapy (combination therapy) is also possible. The remaining electrotherapy channel can then be
used independently.
Vacotron 460:
Electrotherapy can be applied through standard or vacuum electrodes. With vacuum electrodes the
Vacotron 460 generates the vacuum through which the vacuum electrodes are attached to the patient.
The device is placed beneath the Endomed 482 or Sonopuls 492, from which its power is derived and
through which it is also operated.
