Shock Wave Therapy Equipment, ESWT Extracorporal Shock Wave Therapy, also called Acoustic Wave Therapy Equipment, mainly for physical therapy treatment, sports injury and rehabitation and special ED Erectile Dysfunction treatments (Erectile Function (IIEF)   Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS)   Erectile Hardness Scale (EHS)).  Undescended testicle or testis (also called cryptorchidism) is a disorder in which one or both testicles don’t move into the scrotum before birth. Shortly before birth, the testicles usually move through a space from the abdomen (belly) down into the scrotum.SmartWave BS-SWT5000/5500 adopts extracorporal shockwave therapy (ESWT), which is a method for the treatment of superficial orthopedic disorders developed over the past 20 years. The extreme method of using bundled sound waves with high intensity was selected because the mechanical/acoustic waves of force can be focused at a defined point with a parabolic reflector to ensure that stress limits are not exceeded in the remaining tissue. The penetrating depth can reach 0 – 60mm.           SmartWave BS-SWT5000/5500 shockwave therapy system can cover most typical applications includes Epicondylitis, Tendonitis, Biceps Tendonitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Lower Back Pain of muscular origin, Trigger Points, Plantar Fascitis, and aesthetic applications as Cellulite therapy, Stretchmark elimination, Skin tightening and body reshaping. It is widely installed for treatment target which covers: rehabilitation medicine, orthopedics, sport medicine, medical cosmetology, pain treatment (chronic/acute), dermatology, geriatrics, acupuncture (include Chinese traditional medical), etc.

 LSWT (Linear Shockwave Therapy) utilizes a series of pulsed acoustic energy in the ultrasonic range. The focused energy, when applied to tissue, provides improvement of penile hemodynamics by increased ability to push blood to the penis and keep it there.
Shockwaves, as special acoustics waves, can be targeted and focused so as to provide localized, precise and non-invasive therapy. Renova is the only device on the market generating low intensity shockwaves which is specifically designed for ED treatment. Unlike other shockwaves systems, Renova focuses the waves onto a linear segment conformal to the treated organ. 

What is LI-ESWT Therapy?
LI-ESWT (Low Intensity- Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) is a relatively new, painless method for treatment of ED. It has been proven, in the past 10 years, to be extremely effective in improving ED in most men.

The extraordinary feature of LI-ESWT is that it is the first potential non-surgical curative treatment for ED. Current treatment of ED, using pills or injections, is extremely successful, but they have always relied on ongoing management of the condition. That is, anyone using pills or other treatments must plan to use them before each sexual activity. LI-ESWT treatment potentially improves a man’s sexual functioning whenever he is sexually active. This may allow him to get and maintain a good erection without requiring an immediate intervention, or improve his function so that he can use a less powerful method to be successful (i.e. function with using pills as opposed to injections.)

LI-ESWT treatment is currently approved for ED in Europe, South America, China, and Canada. In the US, LI-ESWT treatment is currently CE approved as a treatment method for plantar fasciitis and not for erectile dysfunction. However, there is at least one company that is currently planning a US trial for CE approval.

How Does LI-ESWT work?
The principle is that shock waves are applied to the penis through a probe on the skin. It is believed that the shock waves cause mild trauma to the blood vessels, which then release growth factors. These growth factors stimulate the formation of new blood vessels (neoangeogenesis) as well as repair of the lining of the existing blood vessels (the endothelium.) Other theories suggest that it may break up the plaque blocking the blood flow in small vessels, or it may cause stem cells to migrate to the area, which then create new blood vessels.

Is this treatment backed by research?
There is an extensive body of scientific research17 that shows LI-ESWT’s effectiveness. The most widely used scale to measure a man’s satisfaction with his erection is called the IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function.) It consists of 5 questions, with a possible score of 1-5 on each. If a man improves by five points, his erectile dysfunction improves one level, for example “from moderate to mild”.

Looking at an aggregate of the major studies (termed a “meta-analysis”), an average man’s erectile status will improve after treatment by a full 5 points (or level), moving from severe to moderate, from moderate to mild, from mild to normal.

The exciting thing about these studies is the quality of the research design. The studies are randomized double-blind placebo-controlled (RDBPC’s), which are considered the gold standard in study design. Patients are randomly assigned to the treatment or non-treatment group. The physicians conducting the study do not know which patient is in which group. Each patient receives either treatment or a sham treatment, but is unaware of which he is receiving.

The RDBPC studies performed internationally on LI-ESWT show significant differences between the treated and non-treated group.

How does LI-ESWT compare to other treatments for erectile dysfunction?
The most dramatic difference between LI-ESWT treatment and all of the other (non-surgical prosthesis) treatments is that, if it proves effective for a patient, he will no longer need to rely on pills, injections or other medication each time he has sex. Or, he may need a less invasive method than he was using previously to get and maintain a good erection.
