Indication
Plantar fasciitis
Indication
Patellar tendinopathy
Overview
Electromagnetic ballistic shockwave, precisely controlled
The SW3200 Basic generates radial shockwaves electromagnetically: a projectile is accelerated along a precision ballistic path inside the handpiece, and the resulting shockwave is transmitted into tissue through the applicator and a coupling gel — producing a therapeutic effect at the treatment site.
The wired handpiece connects to a compact, battery-powered control unit with a colour touchscreen, a physical adjustment knob, and shortcut buttons for manual therapy, saved favourites, and guided protocols. A fully charged battery supports roughly 20,000 shocks at 120 mJ / 10 Hz, with a full recharge in under 3 hours — or the unit can run continuously from mains power.
Safety information
Contraindications & precautions
Treatment should only be carried out by trained professionals who understand the device limitations.
- Should not be used: On or near vascular disease; Over local infections; Around malignant or benign tumours; Directly on cartilage or small spinal facet joints; Over implanted electronic devices (pacemakers, pumps); Near metal implants after a fracture; Over open wounds; After fractures, torn or damaged muscle fibres
- Generally advise against: Blood clotting disorders or anticoagulant therapy; During pregnancy; Neurological disease affecting vasomotor function in the area; Over air-filled cavities (e.g. thoracic spine); On children, particularly near growth plates
- Use caution with patients: With impaired sensibility; With severe autonomic disorders; Under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Product development
Feature
Steel Round
An all-steel contact surface with a rounded profile — a firm, focused feel suited to smaller or well-defined trigger points.
Feature
Compound Round
Steel and silica-gel composite with a rounded contact surface, for a softer, cushioned transmission over broader areas.
Feature
Compound Deep
Steel and silica-gel composite with a flat contact surface, aimed at deeper tissue targets.
Feature
Quick Therapy
Nine preset body-part programs (Shoulder, Elbow, Hand, Hip/Back, Thigh, Knee, Lower leg, Foot, plus a Manual shortcut) with clinically-informed starting parameters, ready in one tap and still fully adjustable.
Feature
Manual Therapy
Full control over energy (60–185 mJ / 1–4 bar), frequency (1–22 Hz) and shock count (100–10,000), plus a Sweep mode that automatically cycles energy and frequency between set minimums and maximums.
Feature
Protocols & Favourites
A pre-programmed protocol library organised by body region, each with step-by-step guidance and reference imagery — plus room to save up to 30 of your own custom protocols for fast recall.

Questions we get asked
What conditions is this device used for?
It's intended to relieve pain and support treatment of myofascial pain syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and patellar tendinopathy, as part of a broader orthopaedic or physiotherapy treatment plan.
How long does the battery last?
A full charge takes up to 3 hours and supports roughly 20,000 shocks at typical settings (120mJ/10Hz). The device can also run continuously from mains power.
How often do applicators need replacing?
Applicators are rated for about 1,000,000 shocks. Minor shortening of the rear impact dome doesn't affect function, but replace it promptly if deformation becomes significant, and check weekly once it passes 300,000 shocks.
Can custom treatment protocols be saved?
Yes — up to 30 custom protocols can be named and saved to Favourites, alongside the built-in pre-programmed protocol library.
What maintenance does the handpiece need?
Daily surface cleaning, weekly disinfection, and a deeper clean of the internal guide tube and projectile monthly or every 100,000 treatments. An overhaul is recommended approximately every 1,000,000 shocks.
Is coupling gel included?
No — the device doesn't ship with coupling gel. Use any gel carrying the CE medical device mark, and store, use and dispose of it according to that product's own instructions.
