Description
The TheraTouch DX2 Mechanical Arm is the original-equipment applicator arm for the TheraTouch DX2 shortwave diathermy system. It positions and holds the inductive applicator over the treatment area, and it is the same arm listed in the DX2 package contents from the manufacturer.
- OEM Replacement – the manufacturer’s own arm for the DX2, matching the original fit and articulation.
- Hands-Free Positioning – the arm holds the applicator in place over the treatment area for the full timed session.
- Standard Package Part – the arm is part of the DX2 system’s standard contents, so this is the correct service replacement.
The Correct Arm for the DX2 Applicator
Diathermy treatment depends on the applicator staying exactly where the therapist sets it for the full session. The mechanical arm provides that positioning, articulating the applicator over the patient and holding it without drift. When an arm is damaged or its joints wear, treatment quality suffers before anyone notices a hard failure. This is the manufacturer’s replacement, specified in the DX2 operation manual’s package contents. Clinics maintaining a DX2 should source this part rather than adapting a generic arm to a medical device.

Why Source the OEM Arm
An applicator arm is a positioning instrument, not a generic support, and its joints are tuned to the applicator’s weight. The manufacturer’s arm restores the original positioning behavior without adaptation or guesswork. That keeps treatments consistent with the system’s documented setup.
- Exact Fit – the arm is made for the DX2, so mounting and balance match the original.
- Steady Applicator Placement – treatments run with the applicator held where the therapist set it.
- Documented Component – the part is listed in the DX2 manual’s package contents, simplifying service records.
