Defocused Shockwave Therapy

Defocused Shockwave, also known as planar shockwave, is an electromagnetically generated type of shockwave that delivers concentrated energy to superficial tissues. This focused energy accelerates wound healing, making it effective for treating slow-healing or non-healing wounds like chronic diabetic foot ulcers.

Used alongside sharp wound debridement and advanced wound care, defocused shockwave therapy enhances blood flow and tissue revascularization. This helps promote skin regeneration and healing, particularly beneficial for chronic wounds that have not responded to other treatments.

In diabetic ulcers, healing is often stalled during the inflammation and proliferation stages due to high blood sugar levels, hindering skin closure around the wound. Defocused shockwave therapy jumpstarts the healing process by activating fibroblasts, rebuilding skin tissues, and improving blood circulation at the wound site.
