🌍 World Kidney Day: visualising stone targeting in SWL

Kidney stone disease is one of the many conditions affecting kidney health worldwide. On World Kidney Day, the focus is on raising awareness of kidney health and the management of kidney-related conditions.

Ultrasound-guided Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) is a non-invasive method for the management of kidney stones. Ultrasound imaging is used to locate and monitor the stone while shock waves fragment it into smaller pieces. This approach allows real-time targeting and treatment monitoring without fluoroscopy.

Key features of ultrasound guidance in SWL
• Dynamic monitoring of the stone
• No radiation exposure
• Fragmentation assessment during SWL
• Applicable in paediatric stone treatment

How does ultrasound guidance support the workflow?
• B-mode identifies and localises the stone
• Twinkling artefact (Colour Doppler) confirms the stone position, and supports continuous visual feedback during treatment
• Spectral Doppler tracking (»Hit and Miss« mode) provides
feedback on the interaction between shock waves and the stone

Interested in learning more about ultrasound-guided SWL? Contact our team for further information.

🐕 Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) in Small Animals 🐈

ESWT is a standard procedure in pain therapy for humans, horses, and small animals.

In veterinary applications, focused shock waves are used for deeper target areas, while radial pressure waves are pneumatically generated and applied to superficial indications.

In small animals, ESWT is used in indications such as:
🔸Stress fractures
🔸 Insertional desmopathies
🔸 Tendinopathies
🔸 Osteoarthritis
🔸 Myofascial pain syndrome

Shock wave therapy in daily veterinary practice.

What are your experiences with ESWT in small animals?

Iconic transmitter recognition for efficient workflows

Structured documentation and minimal manual setup are key elements of clinical workflows. The new MASTERPULS icon automatically recognizes the connected transmitter and displays it directly in the user interface.

Highlights at a glance

▶️ Smart detection of the connected transmitter
▶️ Reduced setup steps – no manual selection required
▶️ Accurate, automated treatment documentation
▶️ Consistent and repeatable treatment protocols

👉 Visit our website and discover how the MASTERPULS icon combines precision and ease of use in every detail.

Smarter navigation for modern shock wave therapy – The MASTERPULS icon user interface

The MASTERPULS icon introduces a newly developed user interface – created in close collaboration with healthcare professionals, application specialists and patients it is designed to guide therapists quickly and intuitively through every step of treatment.

Clearly structured and built for everyday use, the interface puts all relevant information where it’s needed most:

• Key parameters such as intensity, frequency, and pulse rate are displayed at a glance
• A live countdown shows the remaining treatment time based on current settings
• A high-fidelity treatment avatar links directly to predefined treatment recommendations in the indication library
• The treatment view allows a quick start, while a dedicated patient menu stores complete treatment histories
• A fixed navigation bar for direct access to all main menus

From setup to documentation, the MASTERPULS icon interface is built to simplify clinical routines – and help keep the focus where it belongs: on the patient.

Developed in collaboration with FLUID Design

Effortless transmitter changes with the MASTERPULS icon

Changing transmitters during treatment has never been easier. The MASTERPULS icon features a new Quick-Lock mechanism that allows you to replace transmitters in just seconds.

This makes it easier to switch between different transmitters within a session and saves valuable time in daily practice. The simplified handling supports a smoother workflow and adds flexibility to your treatment routine.

The transmitter can also be taken apart quickly for easy and thorough cleaning, supporting practical, everyday efficiency.

Study spotlight: ESWT and time to return to activity after Achilles tendon surgery

In a recent case-control pilot study by Saxena et al. (2025), patients undergoing surgery for insertional Achilles tendinopathy followed a standardised postoperative rehabilitation protocol. In addition, the intervention group received perioperative Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) using focused and or radial shock waves which were applied preoperatively, postoperatively, or in combination (2-3 sessions).

The study explored whether shock wave therapy could influence the time to return to activity (RTA) after Achilles tendon surgery. The study found that patients receiving perioperative ESWT returned to sporting activity on average 1.3 months earlier than those only following the standardised postoperative rehabilitation protocol (5.5 vs. 6.8 months; p = 0.02). The clinical status assessed by the Roles and Maudsley scale showed a positive trend in the intervention group, without reaching statistical significance.

MASTERPULS icon with High Speed Vibration Therapy

The new V-ACTOR handpiece delivers High-Speed Vibration Therapy with a frequency range of 1–100 Hz, supporting microcirculatory processes through deep massage and targeted smoothing of fascia and muscle fibres. High frequencies enable rapid detoning and deep relaxation.

Frequency and intensity can be adjusted independently and directly on the handpiece, providing fast, flexible parameter settings. An ergonomic grip and a choice of transmitters help streamline treatment sessions and adapt them to patient-specific needs – an ideal complement to shock wave therapy.

Explore how frequency impacts treatment approaches with the new MASTERPULS icon.

Rehabilitation after Achilles tendon surgery: How can the recovery phase be supported?

Surgical treatment of insertional Achilles tendinopathy is well established, yet postoperative recovery often remains prolonged. The literature reports an average duration of around 7 months until return to activity, frequently accompanied by limitations in daily life and a delayed return to sporting load.

A recent case-control pilot study by Saxena et al. (2025) addresses this clinical challenge by investigating whether the perioperative use of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) may support recovery after Achilles tendon surgery and influence the time to return to activity.

How do you currently support recovery after Achilles tendon surgery in your practice?
