Professional ultrasound therapy device with 2 ultrasound heads.
The I-TECH UT2 ultrasound therapy device is a certified medical device . The I-Tech UT2 ultrasound device is the perfect choice for physiotherapy facilities, rehabilitation clinics, and even discerning private users seeking a professional ultrasound therapy device . Due to its excellent price/performance ratio, it is also our best-selling ultrasound device .
With an output of up to 3 W/cm² and a frequency range of 1 MHz and 3 MHz , it is ideally suited for all types of therapy. It comes with two ultrasound heads with diameters of 1 cm² and 5 cm² , allowing for perfect coverage of all application areas.
Ultrasound therapy applications under water
In areas where the body surface is very irregular, preventing good contact between the ultrasound heads and the skin, the area can also be treated underwater with the I-Tech UT2 ultrasound therapy device . This also applies to areas that are so sensitive to pain that direct contact with the head is not possible.
For this purpose, the water should be degassed (by boiling beforehand) to avoid air bubbles, which can negatively affect the efficiency of the ultrasound application .
ATTENTION: Only the ultrasound head and its cable are protected against water ingress, according to protection class IPX7, not the device itself!
General information about ultrasound therapy
Physical therapy with ultrasound has been used effectively for more than 30 years. Special ultrasound therapy devices , such as the I-Tech UT2 , can support conventional therapy for many painful conditions. Ultrasound can also be used successfully in the supportive treatment of aesthetic problems .
The effect of ultrasound therapy
During therapy, the ultrasound waves can penetrate the tissue and produce various biological effects:
Mechanical/Chemical Effects
The ultrasound waves cause pressure changes in the tissue, resulting in movement in the tissue fluid. They can also contribute to an increase in the permeability of cell membranes.
Thermal effects of ultrasound therapy
By increasing the local tissue temperature, the transmitted energy can be converted into heat. This occurs particularly at the interface between tissue types with different acoustic impedances. For example, bone on one side and soft tissue on the other.
Cavitation and ultrasound
Ultrasound applications can also utilize the phenomenon of cavitation by generating vapor bubbles in fatty tissue. This vapor bubble formation releases energy in the tissue.

List of programs with the corresponding parameters
The indications regarding intensity and number of treatments may vary from the specifications at the discretion of the treating physician. The guidelines regarding intensity are only guidelines, and this also applies to the specified treatment areas. If the area to be treated is very large, the intensity can be increased by 20% if necessary, or reduced accordingly for a very small treatment area.
Head movement should also be adjusted to the patient's sensitivity to heat. The slower the movement, the greater the heat development. If the patient feels too much heat, the intensity should be reduced and/or the head should be moved faster.
Ultrasound applications in animal physiotherapy
The I-Tech UT2 ultrasound therapy device is also frequently used in animal physiotherapy for horses, dogs, and cats. Depending on the indication, the mechanical action (micromassage) or the thermal effect (deep heat) is intended to exert positive effects on the treated tissue.
Contraindications
- Do not use if the cause of the pain is unknown or undiagnosed. Use only after the cause has been diagnosed.
- Treatment with I-TECH UT2 is prohibited in patients with persistent phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, embolisms to avoid the detachment of emboli from the thrombus; as well as in patients with atherosclerosis, recently treated with X-rays or other radiation, near the testes or on neoplastic lesions, in cancerous areas, on healing fractures, in the area of the stellate ganglion, the spine after laminectomy, the main nerves, in the heart area and in anesthetized areas or in patients with hemorrhagic problems.
- In particular, do not treat ischemic tissue in patients with vascular problems where blood flow cannot support the need for increased metabolism and where tissue necrosis may occur.
- In addition, pacemaker patients must be protected from direct ultrasound exposure in the chest area to avoid impairment of the pacemaker itself.
- Also avoid treatment in bone growth centers in children/adolescents.
- Finally, ultrasound therapy should not be used near the uterus in pregnant women. Consequently, the ultrasound beam should not be used in this area without explicit assurance that the patient is not pregnant.
