A non invasive solution for erectile dysfunction
Shock Wave Therapy is a safe, tolerable and effective treatment that is drug-free, surgery-free, totally
non-invasive, requires no anaesthesia and is performed at the ambulatory and provides long-lasting
results. Shockwave targets the erectile mechanism so that men are more likely to have erections on their own.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is defined as "constant" total or partial inability to achieve and / or maintain
an erection. Mostly occurring into over 50 years old patients, recently became a problem occurred
also in younger people, erectile dysfunction is a pathology which is increasing and more than 20%
men are currently suffering. Shockwaves have thus also entered the common protocols of
Peyronie's disease "Induratio Penis Plastica" disease characterized by penile fibrosis and
subsequent curvature with considerable benefits also on the normal recovery of the erection as
well as on the reduction of pain on erection and the extent of the plaque.
In clinical practice, the low-intensity shock waves are transmitted via a hand-piece equipped with
an applicator to the penile tissue, stimulating the creation of new networks of blood vessels in the
penile tissue, thus restoring an erection. This mechanism of action, called neoangiogenesis, allows
the patient following a certain number of treatments to obtain a lasting erection without the use of drugs.
DE, IPP, CPPS
The non-invasiveness, the high tolerability of the treatment by the patient, the absence of side effects,
the possibility of totally eliminating or reducing the use of drugs, the discretion in using the therapy,
make the preferential choice for the treatment of ED by physicians and patients, it is now on low-intensity
shock wave therapy.
From one of our clinical study made on 78 patients it has been observed an improvement in over 82%
of treated patients with a mutual improvement into the PSV (Systolic Peak Velocity). A follow-up made
after 8 months from the treatment was confirming the above mentioned results.
The study has shown the efficacy of improvement on penile vascular hemodynamic and the benefit of
vascular rehabilitation of erectile dysfunction. Patients were referring about the improvement of penile
rigidity, increase in duration and improvement in patient's quality of life satisfaction, understood as couple
well-being, observed with the EDITS questionnaire in 72% of patients.
Treatment of erectile dysfunction
Promotes the vascularization and elasticity of penile tissues, consequently improving the quality of erection
Stimulates the regeneration of nerve structures responsible of erection control
Restores the endothelium and smooth muscles.
Treatment of induratio plastic penis (IPP)
It stimulates the production of factors that favour angiogenesis by modulating the activity of inflammatory cells that seem to be the direct ones responsible for the formation of the plaque
Stabilizes plaque with interruption of disease progression· Reduces plaque and its size· Reduces or eliminates pain caused by plaque
Treatment of chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Promotes increased vascularization
Induces increased anti-inflammatory signals
Induces a reduction in passive muscle tone
Reduces painful pelvic floor syndrome
When technology becomes useful
ESWT shock wave therapy is a medical shock-waves therapy device using electromagnetic technology.
A group of coils placed into the probe would be activated from the hi-voltage circuit of the unit itself.
Electromagnetic field is moving a bullet inside the gun and hammer, thanks to the mechanical pressure,
creates a shock-wave inside the propagation chamber of the applicator fixed on the top of the probe.
