TECHNOLOGYThe BTL-6000 Shortwave is a state-of-the-art device for high-frequency heat therapy.The use of high-frequency energy for heat therapy has the advantage of a greater penetration depthin contrast with conventional methods, such as hot packs, baths, infrared light or even microwavetreatment.The heating effect of the electrodes for the inductive and capacitive methods of application isfundamentally different.BTL-6000 SHORTWAVEIntuitive operation via the touch-screenFREEDOM OF MOVEMENTSIX JOINTED ARMS FOR ALL TREATMENT POSITIONSFrom achillodynia to migraineCAPACITIVE APPLICATORSWith the capacitive field method, the body part being treated is located in the high-frequencyelectric field between two insulated electrodes. During the capacitive method of application, thetransformation of energy into heat takes place mainly in the tissues with low blood circulation (e.g.fat layer and connective tissues). Therefore, the greater part of the heat is generated in areas near theskin’s surface (upper-skin fat tissue). This, combined with the distance between applicator and skin, isimportant in the patient’s sensation of heat.INDUCTIVE APPLICATORSThe inductive field method produces high-frequency electric currents within the body tissue by meansof induction. These currents will increase as the electric conductivity of the corresponding tissueregion, such as tissues with good blood circulation (e.g. muscle tissue and inner organs), increases.FIELDS OF APPLICATIONRehabilitationOrthopaedicsNeurologySport MedicineDermatology (Wounds, burns and scars)GynaecologyENTInternal MedicineUrologyEASY TO STARTPre-set therapy protocolsUser-defined protocolsPatient database in the unitEncyclopaedia with applicator placement imagesMAXIMAL POWER & SAFETYDue to the advanced automatic tuning system andpatient safety-switchFULLY ADJUSTABLE360° rotation in 2 jointsMOST COMMON INDICATIONSTwo different models:BTL-6000 SHORTWAVE 400FOR INDUCTIVE AND CAPACITIVE APPLICATIONSPower up to 400W for optimal applicationpossibilities (200W continual)One channel capacitive fieldOne or two channels inductive fieldColour touch-screen user-interfaceEASY APPLICATOR SWAPPINGClick in place, no screwing requiredBTL-6000 SHORTWAVE 200FOR INDUCTIVE APPLICATIONSOne or two channels inductive fieldContinuous and pulsed modeColour touch-screen user-interfacePower up to 200W (100W continual)Shortwave Diathermy
