Richmar TheraTouch SW1 Portable Shockwave Therapy Device

The Richmar TheraTouch SW1 Portable Shockwave Therapy Device is a professional radial pressure wave system designed for physical therapy, rehabilitation, sports medicine, and other clinical environments. The SW1 delivers high-energy mechanical pressure waves through an ergonomic handpiece and interchangeable applicators, with effective penetration up to 35 mm into tissue.

Designed with portability and clinical workflow in mind, the TheraTouch SW1 combines an intuitive touchscreen interface, 11 preset body-part protocols, manual parameter controls, interchangeable applicators, and a rechargeable battery providing approximately three hours of operation.

With an adjustable frequency of 1–22 Hz and energy output of 60–185 mJ / 1–4 bar, the SW1 gives clinicians flexibility when configuring radial pressure wave treatments for different treatment areas and patient needs.

Portable Radial Shockwave Therapy for Rehabilitation Clinics

The TheraTouch SW1 is Richmar's first radial pressure wave therapy device. Radial pressure waves deliver mechanical energy into tissue through the treatment applicator, providing clinicians with another modality for addressing musculoskeletal conditions within a professional rehabilitation program.

Unlike larger stationary systems, the SW1 features a compact main unit, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and carrying case, making it suitable for treatment rooms, athletic training environments, and clinicians who need to transport equipment between locations.

Radial Pressure Waves with Up to 35 mm Penetration

The SW1 uses an ergonomic handpiece and interchangeable applicators to transmit radial pressure waves into the treatment area. According to Richmar, the applicator system can effectively penetrate up to 35 mm into tissue.

The system provides an adjustable frequency range of 1–22 Hz and an energy range of 60–185 mJ or 1–4 bar, allowing clinicians to adjust treatment parameters based on the selected protocol and individual patient requirements.

11 Preset Body-Part Protocols

The Richmar TheraTouch SW1 includes 11 preset body-part protocols designed to streamline treatment setup. Richmar states that its preset protocols were programmed according to International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ISMST) guidelines and clinical testing.

Preset treatment areas include:

• Wrist
• Elbow
• Knee
• Shoulder
• Neck
• Thigh
• Ankle
• Upper back
• Lower back
• Lower leg
• Foot

The protocol-based interface can help clinicians quickly configure commonly used treatment parameters while retaining the ability to make adjustments when appropriate.

Manual Treatment Mode and Favorites

In addition to its preset protocols, the TheraTouch SW1 includes a manual treatment mode. Clinicians can configure their own treatment parameters, select an appropriate applicator, and adjust the system according to their treatment approach.

Frequently used custom treatments can also be stored in the device's Favorites List, providing quicker access to commonly used settings.

Intuitive Touchscreen Interface

The SW1 features a simple touchscreen interface designed for efficient operation in professional clinical environments. Users can navigate preset protocols, configure manual treatments, choose applicators, and adjust treatment parameters from the main interface.

The system also features a trilingual interface for additional flexibility in clinical environments.

Interchangeable Shockwave Applicators

The TheraTouch SW1 supports 15 mm, 20 mm, and 35 mm applicator sizes, allowing clinicians to select an applicator appropriate for different treatment areas.

Richmar offers both steel-round and compound-round applicators. The compound-round applicators are designed for patients who may be more sensitive to treatment.

The standard SW1 package includes:

• 15 mm steel-round applicator
• 15 mm compound-round applicator
• 20 mm compound-round applicator

Additional 20 mm and 35 mm applicators are available separately.

Rechargeable Battery for Portable Treatment

A rechargeable 22.2V, 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery provides approximately three hours of battery operation, helping clinicians use the system away from a permanent power connection.

Combined with its compact 4.63 lb main unit and carrying case, the rechargeable design makes the SW1 particularly useful when portability is an important consideration.

Radial vs. Focused Shockwave Therapy

The TheraTouch SW1 is a radial pressure wave device, rather than a focused shockwave system. Radial and focused technologies differ in how mechanical energy is generated and distributed within tissue, and the appropriate technology depends on the clinic's treatment requirements.
