Electromechanical orthopaedic extracorporeal shock wave therapy system

An electromechanical orthopaedic extracorporeal shock wave therapy system is a portable assembly of devices designed to deliver focused mechanical shock waves to the body for treating musculoskeletal conditions. It uses electrical energy to generate kinetic energy via a coil gun mechanism, which is then transmitted through a hand-held applicator to produce controlled shock waves that target soft tissues near bones, helping to reduce pain and inflammation and promote healing in conditions like tendinopathies and epicondylitis.

Devices in this category are regulated as medical devices intended for therapeutic use and are typically supplied as complete systems comprising a control unit and applicator. They are not implantable or invasive and are designed for external use in clinical or outpatient settings, with their regulatory status determined by jurisdiction-specific classification based on intended use and risk profile.
