SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Applied diamagnetism
The CTU S Wave system represents an authentic
innovation in the shockwave generator field that
combines therapeutic safety and efficiency with the
possibility for active interaction between the generator
and the tissue being treated.
The CTU Shockwave is the
first shockwave generator with
DIAMAGNETIC TECHNOLOGY
A shockwave is an acoustic pulse
of brief duration generated by a
rapid rise in pressure to a very high
level known as peak pressure that
subsequently descends to initial
values in a negative pressure
phase.
The alternation of positive and negative pressures
that characterize the shockwave subjects exposed
tissue to the effects of alternating compression
and traction forces.
Traditional shockwave generators produce only one single wave
shape and do not permit the modulation and adaptation of
pressure space and time gradients to the effective needs of
treatment.
A shockwave’s therapeutic effectiveness depends on the mecha-
nical loads produced by the positive half wave on the acoustic
interface of the biological tissue (of variable density) and the ca-
vitation forces induced by the negative half wave:
Reduction of local inflammation
Formation of new blood vessels
Reactivation of repair processes
Restoration of articular mobility
Wavefront of pressure
Half wave with positive
pressure
Half wave with
negative pressure
The effectiveness and validity of a shockwave
generator depend primarily on the characteristics
of focalization of the acoustic pulse, the variation
of which usually CANNOT usually be programmed
by the operator.
therapeutic effect
The CTU Shockwave generator
applies the physics principle of
diamagnetism, the characteristics
of negative magnetization vaunted
by certain materials which when
exposed to an electromagnetic
field undergo a repulsive force in
proportion to the intensity of such
field.
dIAMAGNETIC SHOCKWAVE
Of course, but...
It is widely known that the limit to these devices lies in the difficulty of
simultaneously modulating the focused wave’s space/time gradients
as required on the tissue’s acoustic characteristics.
Ye s , the CTU S Wave is equipped with a
so-called diamagnetic generator that permits
shockwave space/time gradients to be modified,
in this way enabling the variation of both temporal
and spatial focusing to therapeutic needs.
The CTU S Wave system produces a shockwave created by the
interaction of the electromagnetic coil’s field flow and an acoustic
lens made from a highly diamagnetic alloy. The lens undergoes
a sharp acceleration that generates an acoustic pulse that lasts
for approximately 0.1 µsec. This type of shockwave is known as a
DIAMAGNETIC SHOCKWAVE.
The visibility of the diamagnetic effect requires a high-intensity
magnetic field, and the CTU Shockwave generator ensures the
maximum benefit of the biological effects of the electric field
induced by a high-intensity current of very short duration.
Does the CTU S Wave system permit this
limit to be overcome?

TEMPORAL FOCUSING
Variation of the quantity of energy that
can be emitted per unit of time on the
basis of the characteristics of the tissue’s
acoustic impedance, elasticity, and
absorbance.

Variation of the quantity of energy that
can be obtained on the basis of the

Pulse adaptation. The CTU S
Wave system permits the modifi-
cation of the space-time profile of
the pulses emitted as required by
the anatomopathological lesion
and the acoustic impedance cha-
racteristics of the tissue being tre-
ated.
technological innovation
Temporal focusing adjustment possibility brings shockwave
therapy higher efficiency. After determining the therapeutic
target and therefore the characteristics of the tissue to be
energized with precision, the CTU S Wave permits the
generation of a pulse adequate to the biological tissues’
acoustic impedance. This innovation promotes better energy
absorption and greater biostimulation of cellular components
as a result.
The possibility to adjust the wavefront, in other words, the
time required for the pulse to rise to peak values - known as
its rise time - permits the modification of the shockwave’s time
gradients.
Spatial focusing permits the specific energization of targeted
tissue sections, or rather specific pressure to be applied to spe-
cific areas, in this way preventing any part of the energy
applied from interfering with the structural equilibrium of
adjacent healthy areas.
The CTU S Wave diamagnetic generator permits intervention
on shockwave space gradients through the use of special acou-
stic lenses with pulse focalization capacity that recalls the Fre-
snel lens principle.

Focusing
The CTU S Wave system uses
flat lenses, whose concentric
sections produce different depths
of focus, apertures, and spatial
geometry while maintaining the
characteristics of rotating solids.
Fresnel lenses permit the construction
of optics with arbitrary aperture and
particular focal lengths whose dioptric
power is equivalent to that of a spherical
lens. This is possible by splitting the
spherical lens into a series of concentric
ring sections.
Pulse focalization takes place without
aberrations in a three-dimensional
energization area that depends on the
specific shape and dimensions of the
lens.

The CTU S Wave system lets
the operator control the acoustic
wavefront, in this way reducing
the negative pressure phase. This
permits the shockwave’s negative
effects to be minimized and
treatment to be given completely
without pain.
CTU S Wave significantly reduces the following collateral effects
of the half wave negative phase on biological tissue typical of
traditional shockwave machines, in this way eliminating pain during
treatment:
COMPLETELY PAIN-FREE THERAPY
Excessive cavitation effect: formation of bubbles of gas above the the-
rapeutic effect threshold with a simultaneous increase in the cell’s per-
meability and consequent cellular edema, potential micro-lesions and
transitory damage to cellular membrane and endocellular structures.
Wavefront of pressure

Overheating: part of energy is turned into heat, which is generated by
the friction of shockwaves passing through cellular liquids.
Micro-streaming phenomena: the formation of eddies and flows inbio-
logical tissues that may damage them.
Operation in diamagnetic mode
permits shockwaves and their
draining-repulsive effect to be applied
also in acute stages and not only for
chronic pathologies.

TREATMENT
2 EMITTED ENERGY CONTROL
3 PAIN-FREE
The CTU S Wave system permits the
simultaneous modification of the
quantity and speed of the energy
transferred, in this way adjusting both
energy flow and shockwave rise time.
As in all shockwave treatments, the
important thing is to correctly focus
the energy in the tissue on the basis of
the depth and energy of the tissue to
be energized.
Pain during shockwave therapy is
usually linked to the combined effect
of the space/time gradient of the
energy emitted by the generator used.
The CTU S Wave system lets the
operator instantly control and modify
the shockwave’s time gradient at equal
emitted energy levels. This adjustment
permits treatment pain to be reduced
while maintaining the pressures
required for the desired therapeutic
effect unaltered.

Principal actions and therapeutic applications
CTU S Wave diamagnetic technology permits a remarkable
extension of shockwave applications for both acute and
chronic pathologies, in this way offering the chance to
a make a complete intervention while also significantly
reducing therapy times and accelerating tissue receptiveness
for a faster cure of the following:
Acute tendinopathies
Calcific and other tendinopathies
Muscle pain syndromes
Epicondylitis of the humerus, radius/ulna
Arthrosis (in initial phases)
Enthesopathy
Bursitis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Patellar syndrome
Fallen arches with or without spurs
Achillodynia
Trigger points
Tibial periostitis
Bone fracture mending delays
Cutaneous ulcers and hard-to-heal wounds
The CTU S Wave system com-
bines the biological effects of
the shockwave and those of the
electric field induced by the ma-
gnetic field increased by the re-
pulsive effect on the tissue’s liquid
components in order to shorten
treatment times.
The synergy of the effects of the shockwaves
and the magnetic field induces a pooled
biological effect by the transduction of the
physical pulse into a biological response,
which as demonstrated singularly for the two
different forms of energy, is characterized
by neo-angiogenic activation, cellular
proliferation and regeneration, and the
metabolic regeneration of the tissues
stimulated.
Diamagnetic shockwaves permit a wide extension of
shockwave applications to treat chronic and acute
pathologies through the interaction of the three ope-
rative modes below:
ENERGY (EFD)
RISE (Rise Time)
DRAINAGE (DIA)
The possibility to manually adjust the wavefront al-
lows the output of a specific pulse modulation de-
pending on the disease, its location, intensity and
the degree of energy absorption by the biological
tissues targeted by the therapy.
The adaptation of the shockwave’s
envelope (time trend) to tissue
characteristics represents a further
therapy amplification factor, especially
for the treatment of degenerative
tendinopathies (calcific and otherwise)
in fascial and apo-neurotic pathologies.
Disgregating action is part of a
wider therapy protocol with an initial
preparatory tissue stimulation phase
followed by operation in disgregation
mode, and lastly drainage mode.
The CTU S Wave system combines
the anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and
biostimulation effects of the shockwave
with the liquid drainage effect worked by
diamagnetism. The traces of the high-
intensity magnetic field that generated
the shockwave induce a repulsive force
on the tissue’s diamagnetic elements like
water and protein, in this way obtaining
a rebalancing of the intra- and extra-
cellular water and solutes that makes the
use of the CTU S Wave system advisable
also for pathologies with effusions,
swelling, and even in acute conditions.
This is possible by modulating the
Diamagnetic effect (DIA).

operative mode
The CTU S Wave system makes
administering shockwave therapy
easier thanks to innovative diama-
gnetic technology that permits the
adjustment of the power of every
wave, the modulation of the wa-
vefront, and the selection of DIA
or non-DIA operative mode. The
variability of these parameters
guarantees painless, effective tre-
atment.
Non-DIA mode, the lens is impermeable to the
magnetic field, whose energy is used only to
implement the transduction of the latter into a
shockwave.
Non-DIA mode
DIA mode
DIA mode modifies the shape of the magnetic
field wave in such way that the lens is permeable
to it. The CTU S Wave is therefore available
for use in inducing a therapeutic diamagnetic
effect, and therefore drainage, pain relief, and
the reduction of inflammation.
The diamagnetic effect is used
also to enhance therapeutic tre-
atment thanks by extending the
magnetic field.
The diamagnetic effect is used
only to generate the acoustic
shockwave.
