    The equipment has two output channels ET1 and ET2 both for electrotherapy and for combined therapy. Destination of Use UTC2 UTC2 is an active medical device for combined therapy of ultrasound therapy and / or therapeutic currents used for the rehabilitation of inflammatory states, post-traumatic chronic and postural traumatic states and ionophoreic and aspiration of active principles in the ambulatory and hospital environment by of physicians specializing in physical therapy.

  • Page 10: Ultrasounds

    UTC2 ULTRASOUNDS Physical Elements Ultrasonic waves are sound waves having frequency higher than to that perceivable from the human ear. The perceivable frequencies from the man are those between 16 and 20.000 Hz. The frequencies under 16Hz are denominated infra- sound, while those superior to 20kHz are being denominated ultrasounds.

  • Page 11: Transducers

    This parameter has important in the pulsated erogations, that is when a perturbation of duration m is repeated after the time s. It is defined as ratio between the duration of the impulse m and the interval of time resulting by the sum of the du- ration of the impulse and the duration of the interval between two following impulses (m+s).

  • Page 12: Application's Mode

    UTC2 Effects of cavitation To the passage of the sonic wave in the liquids, depending from phenomenons of compression-decompression, some small bubble of air can be formed. When a determined volume is reached these bubbles, following the variations of pres- sure of the field, can gather and can oscillate in a stable beam (stable cavitation), or in a turbulent beam where, because of ample variations of volume they explode (unstable cavitation).

  • Page 13: Electrotherapy

    Treatment by moving the emitter The emitter is moved on the treatment’s zone in order uniformely distribute the energy on it. The emitter should bewell adherentto the skin. Avoid if possible the presence of little bubbles of air, so that wave reflection and consequent cutane- ous overheating are prevented.

  • Page 14: Excitative-Motor Effect

    UTC2 Excitative-motor Effect The aim of the electro-stimulation is to get a muscular contraction applying, such electric currents, above or close to the muscle. Obviously the type of used current depends by the therapeutic program and by the characteristics of the muscle to treat.

  • Page 15: Antalgic Effect

    Impulsive currents Pulses having a constant growth of the intensity versus time, that is the right form to reduce the accommodation, are generally used for the stimulation of denervated or partially denervated muscles due to neuroplasia, axontomesis, or neurotomesis . Generally the use of this current should be suspended in case of an evident reappearance of an active contraction.
  • Page 16 UTC2 Using higher frequencies (50 – 200 Hz) and time of impulses between 50 and 10 msec the analgesic effects appear quickly to the stimulated metamer, but they don’t last for a long time after the end of treatment. In this case we advise the intensity that produce swarming paraesthesia without provoking motor reactions.

CP: 50 Hz monophasic diadynamic current alternated with 100 Hz diphase diadynamic current. Time of alternation 1-2 sec. Stimulating and trophic action. DF: 100 Hz diphase diadynamic current.

    UTC2 effect since there is a continuous frequency variation. The biologic effects that are obtained depend on the used frequency, with higher frequency we obtain an analgesic action, with lower frequency we obtain an excitative-motor effect. The electrodes are fixed in opposite sides generate perpendicular fields between them so that the central area is on the target zone.
