PhysioGo.Lite SONO
Treatment at the patient's home:
The small size and the use of a battery (optional) make it possible to work with the device in places where there is no access to power supply, or where the quality is not sufficient for the use of other devices of this type. The portability of the device makes it possible to perform ultrasound therapy treatments on patients who, due to their health condition, cannot benefit from treatment at the physiotherapist's clinic. But at the same time, it is perfect for clinic use where smaller equipment with the same power is desired. The device, with its full equipment, fits comfortably into a specially designed Astar bag.
LIPUS therapy:
The PhysioGo.Lite SONO unit not only offers classic ultrasound therapy treatments, but also the possibility of performing LIPUS treatment (Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound) using pulsed ultrasound waves with low frequency. This method is particularly valued for its effectiveness in supporting the treatment of wounds, burns, nerve damage, degenerative diseases and bone fractures. It is also an excellent support in the treatment of non-union (so-called pseudoarthrosis) and delayed union.
Design and comfort:
The PhysioGo.Lite SONO unit was developed in collaboration with doctors and physiotherapists. The unit has been optimized for efficient and easy operation. User comfort is ensured by the 5" large color display with touch panel.
Built-in database with treatment programs:
PhysioGo.Lite SONO contains a pre-programmed group of treatment programs for medical areas such as orthopedic surgery, neurology, aesthetic medicine, dermatology, angiology, rheumatology and sports medicine. It also allows you to create your own programs and perform therapy in manual mode. By adding the program to the Favorites list, you can quickly find the most used parameters in ultrasound therapy.
Ultrasound heads:
The PhysioGo.Lite SONO unit supports three models of ultrasound therapy heads:
> The SnG head, which is a new addition to Astar ultrasound equipment, is an operator-free accessory with a large front area (17.3 cm2 or 34.5 cm2 depending on the selected mode of operation), which is used for classic ultrasound therapy, phonophoresis, LIPUS treatment and combined treatments (in combination with electrotherapy). This facilitates treatment for the therapist and makes the treatment uniform over the area.
> The GU-1 head with a front area of 1 cm2 generates a wave with a frequency of 1 or 3 MHz. It is used for sonication of small areas of the body for classic ultrasound therapy, LIPUS treatment and combined therapy.
> The GU-5 head with a front surface of 5 cm2 (1 or 3 MHz) is used for ultrasound therapy as well as for treatments where phonophoresis is used. This standard head type also allows for LIPUS and combined treatment.
Treatment safety:
Like all other Astar devices, PhysioGo.Lite SONO meets the requirements of Council Directive 93/42/EEC on medical devices and is also adapted to the latest requirements of Medical Device Regulation 2017/745. The device has also been awarded the European CE mark, which confirms the appropriate level of product safety and compliance with the requirements (directives on safety in use, health and environmental protection). Danish instructions are of course included.
