Description
The TheraTouch DX2 Shortwave Diathermy System brings deep-heating diathermy to rehab clinics with Scientific Dosage Control, a dosing method that adds settings beyond the traditional Dose III range. Its H.E.A.T. auto-tuning keeps output matched to the patient, and the touchscreen stores 99 favorites alongside nine Quick Link shortcuts.
- Scientific Dosage Control – SDC expands the traditional dosing scale with additional Dose III settings for finer control of deep heating.
- H.E.A.T. Auto-Tuning – the system auto-tunes during treatment and carries a dedicated Microcirculation indication.
- Full Diathermy Output – 100 W average in continuous mode and 200 W peak in pulsed mode at 27.12 MHz.
- Touchscreen Workflow – 99 storable favorites and 9 Quick Links put the clinic’s common setups one touch away.
Deep Heating with Controlled, Repeatable Dosing
Shortwave diathermy heats deep tissue that surface modalities cannot reach, which makes dosing accuracy the whole game. Scientific Dosage Control refines that dosing, and the auto-tuning system holds the match as treatment conditions change. Output runs to 100 watts average continuous and 200 watts peak pulsed, with pulse widths from 20 to 400 microseconds and pulse frequencies from 10 to 800 Hz. Treatment times set from 1 to 30 minutes on the touchscreen, and the system ships as the main device with its cart. For clinics offering diathermy for chronic joint and soft-tissue cases, this is the current-generation platform with the documentation to support it.

Why Diathermy Clinics Choose the DX2 Platform
Diathermy lives or dies on dosing confidence, because the patient cannot feel deep tissue temperature directly. Scientific Dosage Control and auto-tuning give therapists a documented, repeatable way to set and hold a dose. The stored favorites then make that dose consistent across the whole department.
- Finer Dose Control – SDC settings beyond standard Dose III let therapists grade deep heating more precisely.
- Hands-Off Tuning – H.E.A.T. auto-tuning holds the match during treatment instead of relying on manual retuning.
- Department-Wide Consistency – 99 favorites and 9 Quick Links standardize the clinic’s common protocols.
- Three-Year Coverage – the documented warranty backs a capital purchase for three years.
