Why Frequency is Limited to 10 Hz
From the perspective of shockwave generation physics, increasing the pulse frequency per unit of time inevitably leads to a reduction in the energy delivered per pulse. This is due to inherent energy conversion limitations, as well as increased thermal and parasitic losses when the generator operates at elevated frequencies.
Thus, operating modes with frequencies of 15-20 Hz and higher, commonly found on the market, formally increase the number of pulses per unit of time while simultaneously reducing penetration depth and overall therapeutic quality. In clinical practice, this does not result in a proportional enhancement of therapeutic efficacy and may reduce selectivity for deep tissue structures.
For this reason, focused shockwave therapy in the Klinogicare® system is software-limited to a maximum frequency of 10 Hz. This range represents an optimal balance between biological effectiveness and physical pulse stability, preserving maximum penetration depth and the therapeutic value of each pulse.
