Page 17: Indications, Contraindications And Precautions For Shortwave Diathermy
Auto * Therm 395, Shortwave Diathermy Indications, Contraindications and Precautions for Shortwave Diathermy Indications Shortwave diathermy delivers energy in the radio band of 27.12 MHz to provide deep heating therapeutic effects to body tissues. When shortwave diathermy is delivered to the body at intensities capable of generating a deep tissue temperature increase, it can be used to treat selected medical conditions such as: 1. - Page 18 2. Any bleeding tendency is increased by heating because of the increase in blood flow and vascularity of the heated tissues. Care, therefore, should be used in treating patients with therapeutic shortwave diathermy who have bleeding disorders. 3. Heating of the joint capsule in acute or subacute arthritis should be avoided. 4.

the treated area. The intensity and treatment time values given in the application table should be observed. For maximum deep effects apply the inductive coil applicator directly to the body through a single layer of towelling. Watch the patient-coupling indicator (16), to ensure maximum patient coupling. Pay particular attention when applying the Triplode. - Page 25 Auto * Therm 395, Shortwave Diathermy 13 cm diameter condenser applicator 11— When different condenser applicators are combined, the smallest type of applicator determines the maximum intensity. Deviations are possible depending on the heating felt by the patient.
