Deep heating with two sources of energy
Physiotherapic hyperthermia combines two sources of energy to apply the desired temperature deep on the “center of gravity” of the injured area, avoiding the dispersion of heat in the more superficial tissues.
This is made possible by combining two sources of energy:
- an electromagnetic wave, carefully selected to reach the desired depth;
- the water bolus: a bag full of a liquid at body temperature (37° C – 39° C), placed in contact with the area that is going to be treated.
The presence of thermostated water prevents the more superficial layers of tissue, which are more exposed to the intensity of the electromagnetic wave, from overheating, allowing for a safe, homogeneous, and gradual temperature rise in depth.
The control of temperature is extremely accurate. A small sensor on the water bag (thermocouple) constantly takes the temperature of each layer of tissue, while the machine’s computer is equipped with a sophisticated mathematical model to process these measurements.
This way with a device for hyperthermia there is absolutely no risk of damage to the skin tissues.
Advantages of hyperthermia in physiotherapy
The reasons why choosing a device for hyperthermia to treat muscle pain and injuries in physiotherapy are many. Delta by Easytech, the best-selling hyperthermia in the world, guarantees:
- Efficient heating up to 8 cm in depth for faster recovery times, proven by over 30 years of research and clinical experience
- 99% accuracy in determining the required temperature
- No risks of overheated areas, thanks to the two sources of energy
- Operator-independent treatment for better time management: once the treatment has been set up correctly, the operator can move away from the patient in complete safety.
- Reproducibility of the same treatment conditions between session and session
- Preset protocols for a simple and intuitive use
Tecar therapy vs hyperthermia
While both tecar therapy and hyperthermia use endogenous heat to reduce pain and inflammation, they are two different methods. However, these are not mutually exclusive.
As tecar therapy can heat a large portion of tissues, the generalized heat assists the passive handling of the patient by the operator. Furthermore, it is also possible to integrate the radiofrequency treatment with a massage therapy treatment.
Hyperthermia is a static treatment, which does not lend itself to passive mobilization. On the other hand though, hyperthermia guarantees localized deep heat at the optimum temperature for the entire duration of the treatment. In addition, hyperthermia allows the operator to constantly measure and modulate the temperature in depth, whereas this is not possible with any other deep heat treatment.
Choosing the right tool
We are well aware that choosing a new technology for physiotherapy requires deep reflection, for example on your country’s medical tradition, on the needs of your clientele and on shipping options.
Easytech consultants are at your disposal to discuss how Delta can integrate at best your therapeutic offer. Delta is the latest Easytech device for physiotherapic hyperthermia and orthopedic rehabilitation – the result of over thirty years of evidence-based medical, biological and physical research. Occasionally, we also have second-hand devices for hyperthermia on sale.
