What is diathermy?

Diathermy uses high-frequency electromagnetic fields applied to the body’s tissues, with the aim of increasing the
body’s internal temperature and consequently inducing various therapeutic effects.

Our dVinci, dVet and dVinae equipment generates an alternating current with frequencies ranging from 0.8 MHz to 1.2
MHz. Through the pair of electrodes supplied, the energy is fed into the patient’s body, who thus becomes part of the
electrical circuit.

For our bodies to be healthy, cells must maintain their electrical balance and molecules their physiological movement.

When a tissue is compromised by a pathological event, the molecules and cells lose that physiological capacity; to restore
it, energy must be applied.

The condenser effect generated by our devices alternately attracts or repels electrical charges in the tissues using
capacitive and resistive electrodes, which allow biological tissue to be used as an electrolytic conductor.

The oscillation generated by the displacement currents exerts its beneficial effects on all the altered components
of the tissue, causing the cells to regain their physiological capacity.

The patient will experience this effect as a pleasant internal warmth.

Why is diathermy effective?

The danger of an electric current passing through the human body decreases as the frequency increases. These currents
produce a sensation of heat without muscular contraction, which occurs at lower frequencies (e.g., with electro
stimulators). The heating of tissues by using an alternating electric current at high frequency does not have a motor
excito-action and allows a greater penetration of the phenomenon and therefore a greater and quicker
effectiveness of the treatment.

For this reason, since the 1980s, there has been a development of “Capacitive and Resistive Diathermy” equipment, with
considerable clinical satisfaction for both operators and patients.

The use of heat in therapeutic treatments, in fact, increases blood flow, improving the nourishment and oxygenation of
cells and accelerating the outflow of waste substances. Heat also aids the reabsorption of haematomas and greatly
reduces pain in chronic, traumatic and inflammatory conditions.

EFFECTS OF OUR DEVICES

Effects at a tissue level: the increase in temperature generates an increase in local blood flow, which increases the supply
of oxygen and nutrients, as well as speeding up the outflow of waste substances.

Effects at extracellular matrix level: thanks to the energy injected and the consequent vibration of the ions, the
extracellular matrix is re-settled and therefore the damaged tissues heal more quickly.

Effects at cell level: there is a transfer of energy to the cell with the transformation of ADP into ATP. More damaged cells
will receive more energy because they have a smaller potential difference than healthy cells.

AUTOMATIC

Let our device take care of your patient! With this working mode, thanks to the automatic plates, you can support your work
with the handpiece or you can treat large parts of the body in complete autonomy without the need for the presence of the
operator.

ROLL-ON

Our patented ergonomic handpiece allows you to assist the diathermy with the effect of the drug in the treatment of all
muscle and joint injures. In fact, thanks to our handpiece, the active principle penetrates deeper and faster in order to
obtain faster and more lasting results.

BIPOLAR

Without the need to use a passive plate, the operator will use only the handpiece to treat superficial lesions with ease,
especially on areas of the body that are difficult to reach with other types of electrodes.

TWO CHANNELS

Gives the therapist the ability to operate on two areas of the body at the same time, or even on two different patients, using
the two channels both in automatic and manual mode.
