UltrasoundVet 4000 Veterinary Therapeutic Ultrasound

Who is it recommended for?

• Small animal clinics and veterinary physiotherapists regularly treating muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries, chronic joint complaints, and scar tissue adhesions.
• Equine veterinary practices and training centers working with sport horses where superficial and deeper tendon and ligament involvement, bursitis, and recurrent joint complaints are common.

Why is it a good choice?

• Species-specific program list: pre-set protocols for dog, cat, and horse indications that facilitate daily work and allow quick adjustment.
• Versatile modes: continuous and pulsed emission; direct contact and immersion treatment – the latter especially useful for irregular surfaces or sensitive areas.
• Targeted tissue depth: 1 MHz and 3 MHz frequencies – generally, 3 MHz is for more superficial, 1 MHz for deeper structures.
• Robust, practice-friendly design: IP68 handpiece, backlit display, carrying bag; powered from mains with optional battery pack for mobility.

Pre-set programs (among others)

• Dog: chronic/arthritic joint pain, reactivated arthrosis, superficial tendinitis (phases 1–2), deep tendinitis (phases 1–2), bursitis, scar tissue adhesions, muscle contractures.
• Cat: chronic and reactivated arthrosis, scar tissue adhesions, muscle contractures.
• Horse: chronic and reactivated arthrosis, superficial/deep tendinitis (phases 1–2), bursitis, scar tissue adhesions, muscle contractures.

Main features

• Frequency: 1 MHz and 3 MHz – targeted treatment of superficial and deeper soft tissues.
• Output power: max. 3 W/cm² (±20%).
• Duty cycle (pulsation): 10–100% in 10% steps – precise dose adjustment for acute, subacute, and chronic conditions.
• Emission: continuous and pulsed modes.
• Treatment mode: direct contact and immersion.
• Display: 2.6" backlit.
• Output/head: 1 output, Ø42 mm IP68 handpiece.
• Power supply: mains adapter; optional battery pack.
• Size/weight: 170×220×60 mm, 1370 g – portable yet stable desktop design.

Usage tips (short, practical guide)

• Acute to subacute cases: typically pulsed mode with lower average energy density; aim is to reduce inflammation and pain.
• Chronic/scarred tissues: often continuous mode to improve connective tissue elasticity and boost circulation.
• Depth selection: 3 MHz for superficial structures; 1 MHz for deeper structures (e.g., horse limbs).
• Immersion technique: the handpiece can be used in a water bath for sensitive or irregular surfaces; IP68 protection and immersion mode support this.

Note: Dosages, treatment duration, and therapy length should always be determined based on diagnosis, body region, and animal species following manufacturer protocols and veterinary professional guidelines.

Safety and contraindications (summary)

General contraindications include tumor areas, active infections, fresh bleeding, acute thrombosis, coagulation disorders, treatment above the abdomen/trunk of pregnant animals, and near electronic implants. Extra caution is advised for regions with growth cartilage (young animals). Always follow the device manual and veterinary instructions. (Provided modes and applications are detailed in the manufacturer's documentation.)

FAQ

What is the difference between 1 and 3 MHz?
As a general rule, 3 MHz is suited for superficial, 1 MHz for deeper structures – the device supports both.

Is it usable in water (immersion)?
Yes. The device offers an immersion mode, and the handpiece has IP68 protection, making it usable in a water bath as per manufacturer guidelines.
