Ultratherm Shortwave

GBO

GBO Ultratherm® 2024 shortwave diathermy with a solid-state amplifier: capacitor (condensor field) or coil (induction field) technique, continuous 400 W or pulsed 1100 W, 12″ capacitive touchscreen with electrode-placement pictograms and live effective-power display.

Capacitor or coil shortwave technique from one solid-state unit

400 W continuous / 1100 W pulsed with 12-inch touchscreen

Overview

Next-Generation Shortwave Therapy

Ultratherm® by GBO sets new standards in its class. Built around a high-performance solid-state amplifier, it lets clinicians choose between two shortwave techniques, capacitor (condensor field) or coil (induction field), from a single space-saving, ergonomic unit. Shortwaves can be applied to both superficial and deeper tissue layers, and myopathies can be treated in the same way as joint diseases.

The amplifier delivers uniform, highly effective output in both continuous and pulsed modes, with continuously adjustable power for precise dosing. A dynamic matching indicator and a constantly displayed heat-effective output power value give the clinician full visual control throughout the session.

Operation runs through a 12-inch capacitive touchscreen with a clear graphic display, program memory and an application menu whose pictograms guide correct electrode placement, keeping setup fast and consistent from patient to patient.

Clinical Protocols

Indications

Recommended starting parameters by indication. Final protocols should be set by the treating clinician.

Myopathies
Muscle tissue conditions, treated with the capacitor or coil technique to suit tissue depth.
Joint diseases
Joint conditions, including three-sided heating of extremities and joints with the Diplode®.
Deep & superficial heat
General deep and superficial tissue heat therapy with full dosage control.
Diplode® application
to avoid operation at idle speed; maintain a 1–3cm distance between electrode and skin for optimal heat
