Description
The TheraTouch 1 cm Sound Head is the small-area ultrasound applicator for the TheraTouch CX2 and CX4 combination systems. Its 1 cm² treatment surface reaches the joints, hands, and other small areas where the standard 5 cm² applicator is too broad to couple well.
- Small-Area Precision – the 1 cm² face fits fingers, wrists, ankles, and other compact treatment sites.
- CX2 and CX4 Compatible – the applicator is an optional accessory for the CX2 and a listed accessory for the CX4.
- Dual Frequency – the applicator works with the systems’ 1 and 3 MHz output in pulsed or continuous modes.
The Applicator for Small Joints and Tight Areas
Therapeutic ultrasound only works where the sound head couples fully to the skin, and the standard 5 cm² head cannot do that on a finger joint or the curve of an ankle. This 1 cm² applicator closes that gap, giving the CX2 and CX4 a small-area option in the same holster-ready form factor. It is standard equipment on the standalone UX2 ultrasound device and an optional add-on for the combination systems. Clinics treating hand therapy and post-surgical joint cases will reach for it daily. Adding it turns a combination unit into a full-coverage ultrasound platform without a second device.

Why Add the Small Sound Head
A combination unit that cannot treat small joints leaves a visible gap in a clinic’s ultrasound offering. This applicator fills the gap for the cost of an accessory instead of a second device. It also serves as the correct replacement when a UX2’s standard small head is damaged.
- Full Anatomical Coverage – small joints and curved areas get proper coupling and the intended ultrasound dose.
- Accessory Pricing, System Value – one applicator extends two combination systems and backs up the UX2.
- Documented Coverage – the one-year applicator warranty matches the manufacturer’s replacement-parts terms.
