enPulsPro Radial Pulse Therapy – An Effective Alternative For Treating Chronic Soft Tissue Pain
A Cutting Edge, Non-invasive, Non-pharmacological, Highly Effective Solution for the Treatment of Chronic Foot, Heel, and Ankle Pain
Principle of Radial Pulse Therapy
The hand piece contains a projectile that is accelerated through the electromagnetic transfer of kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is then transformed into impact energy in the applicator head. The impact energy delivered from the applicator head results in radial pulses in the target tissue. Radial Pulse Therapy provides an excellent alternative to treating muscle tissue. The energy treats muscle pain and helps to increase circulation in the target tissue.
Mechanical Energy
The enPulsPro device delivers energy into the target tissue where traditional soft tissue therapy techniques cannot reach. This is all done with little or no stress on the therapist‘s hands. A heavy duty, ergonomic aluminum hand piece delivers optimal energy to the patient while providing optimal protection against vibrations to the therapist’s hands.
Time Savings and Efficiency With Better Outcomes
Adding the enPulsPro Radial Pulse Therapy unit to your facility will decrease the treatment time for chronic soft tissue pain patients and increase your efficiency. This results in better outcomes for you and for your patients.
enPulsPro Softshot Technology
enPulsPro creates unique radial pulses by using a projectile 5 times heavier than standard air compressor systems and a reduced final velocity upon contact with the applicator. Though the force of the accelerator and the mass of the projectile are efficient down to the required depth, they are more comfortable for the patient than comparable systems.
Increased Patient Comfort
Less pain, same energy – that’s enPulsPro softshot technology. Energy is maintained by a longer pulse rise time. This eliminates the need for unpleasant high peak pressure amplitudes. The lower peak and longer rise time minimize the stinging and painful sensation that is normally associated with this type of therapy. Increased patient comfort results in easier treatments at higher energy levels, leading to successful therapy.
Ergonomic
The high mass applicator reduces strain on clinicians. The ergonomic aluminum hand piece with high mass and ample inertia provides appropriate energy transfer to the patient. It also affords optimal protection against vibration for the healthcare professional. The design allows for single handed use allowing the second hand to be free to adjust treatment parameters in session.
2 Million Pulse Warranty
A powerful, mechanical energy generator with high percussion, digital control, and low mechanical wear provides for an extended lifetime of reliability and performance. We guarantee our hand piece for 2 million pulses.
Safe
Pulses are triggered using a foot pedal, ensuring targeted treatment and allowing the clinician to concentrate on hand positioning for the treatment.
Flexible
Applicator heads of varying sizes and shapes can be quickly changed out without the use of tools, allowing treatments to be adjusted as needed.
Convenient
Two simultaneously connected hand pieces increase convenience and save time. The clinician has on-demand access to different applicators heads.
Integrated VAS Scale
The integrated Visual Analog Scale allows the therapist to assess the intensity of the patient’s pain. This presents both the therapist and the patient with an overview of progress over the course of therapy.
Revolutionary Interface Design
The new enPulsPro touch screen interface is truly innovative, intelligently designed and easy to use.
Larger Display Surface
The 12″ color touchscreen display is easy to read and to navigate with your fingertips.

Radial Shockwaves – Unique and powerful technology
Radial shockwave therapy (RSWT) is a method for the treatment of superficial orthopedic disorders developed over the past 20 years. A projectile accelerated in the handpiece generates a mechanical pressure wave, which is transferred to the human body by an applicator head and which radiates out in the tissue.
The mechanical energy is absorbed by the tissue and decreases as the distance from the application site increases. The mechanical stress triggers reactions in the tissue that have a positive influence on a wide range of orthopedic and neurological conditions
The method is used by therapists all over the world with great success. With the enPuls Version 2.0, Zimmer MedizinSysteme now offers a system that bundles all the advantages of the application in a compact form with the lowest downstream and operating costs that is easy to operate and apply with maximum flexibility and mobility.

Appliance
enPuls Version 2.0 is ideal, as a system for radial shockwave therapy, for superficial orthopedic problems such as:
- Insertion tendinopathy
- Tendon problems
- Chronic inflammation
- Hypertonic muscle systems
- Myofascial syndromes
- Hematoma treatments
softshot – pulse
enPuls Version 2.0 generates a special form of shockwave with a relatively heavy projectile and a comparatively low impact speed—the enPuls Version 2.0 softshot shockwave.
The energy is primarily generated by the volume of the pulse and not by the high amplitude and the extremely short rise characteristic of comparable compressed-air devices.
This requires that the shockwaves with rise times of approx. 3.5 µs and the typical energy settings also generated by compressed-air devices pass through the tissue without any change in the form of the wave, because the stress is within the moment of inertia and the module of elasticity of the tissue.
Different from focused shockwaves, which have rise times less than 100 ns and which results in a desired gradation of the wave in the tissue causing cavitation and tissue destruction, with radial shockwaves it is not the exponential effect but simply the amount of energy that triggers the reactive processes.
The slower rise of the wave (approx. 13.5 µs) and the significantly lower peak amplitude mean that enPuls Version 2.0 does not generate the typical whiplash effect of the shockwave, make it easier for the patient to tolerate.

Energy applied—pressure comparison
Comprehensive comparative tests in the laboratory have demonstrated that enPuls Version 2.0 with equivalent energy settings releases kinetic energy via the applicator comparable to that of a compressed-air-driven system, in which the air pressure applied to accelerate the projectile is the dosage.
The similarity is shown in the following table
enPuls Version 2.0 Compressed-air RSWT-System 60 mJ 1 bar 90 mJ 2 bar 120 mJ 3 bar 185 mJ 5 bar Because the kinetic energy is applied to the tissue with similar-sized applicators, the standard units such as mJ/mm² (energy density) can be used because that closely related.
Dosage information from treatment protocols can thus be used 1:1.
Low maintenance and long life
The special technology of the enPuls Version 2.0 and the softshot shock source means that the system has the lowest maintenance costs and the longest handpiece and shockwave generator service life compared to compressed-air systems.
Zimmer MedizinSysteme offers a minimum guarantee of 2,000,000 shocks per generator, corresponding to about 1,000 treatments. The generator should be replaced if there is a significant reduction in performance (shock power is reduced, misfire, etc.). This is generally noticed long after the minimum guarantee period has expired.
