Ultrasound device for horses, dogs and cats
Ultrasound therapy is an effective treatment method for a variety of veterinary conditions. The UltrasoundVet 4000 is a high-quality ultrasound device that was specially developed for the treatment of dogs, cats and horses .
During ultrasound therapy , the treated tissue is subjected to thermal and non-thermal, mechanical stimulation. These effects of ultrasound treatment can accelerate the healing of damaged muscle, tendon, joint capsule, ligament and bone tissue.

- Improves the healing of damaged tissue
Therapeutic effects of ultrasound therapy in veterinary medicine
Ultrasound therapy has a number of therapeutic effects that can help improve the healing of damaged tissue. These include:
- Cell metabolism: Ultrasound therapy promotes cell metabolism and relative enzymatic activity, leading to faster healing.
- Blood flow: Ultrasound therapy accelerates blood flow, which improves the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the damaged tissue.
- Tissue elasticity: Ultrasound therapy increases tissue elasticity and its viscoelastic properties, leading to improved mobility while reducing pain.
- Pain relief: Ultrasound therapy can reduce pain, improving the animal's freedom of movement and comfort.
Thermal effects of ultrasound therapy
The thermal effect of ultrasound increases tissue temperature and promotes blood circulation. This can be used to treat some chronic soft tissue injuries or conditions.
Non-thermal effects of ultrasound therapy
The non-thermal biological effects of ultrasound therapy include accelerating healing processes, promoting the regeneration of soft tissue and the synthesis of cellular proteins, reducing oedema, improving bone healing, and reducing muscle cramps and pain.
Therapeutic guidelines for performing ultrasound therapy
Before performing ultrasound treatment with the Ultrasound device for animals UltrasoundVet 4000 , it is essential to know the patient's medical history, any medications they may be taking, and a sufficiently accurate diagnosis. During therapy, it is advisable to monitor the patient's response and adjust the treatment if necessary.
If no significant changes in the animal's condition are observed after 3-4 consecutive days, it is advisable to reconsider the treatment parameters and/or the diagnosis. Ultrasound therapy should not be used on sedated animals, as their feedback is required to adjust the parameters to individual needs if necessary.
Preparing the patient for ultrasound treatment
It is recommended to shave the hair in the treatment area before starting ultrasound treatment , even if the patient's hair is very short (e.g. in greyhounds or Dobermans). The skin should be cleaned with a non-irritating disinfectant solution before treatment.
Before starting therapy, apply a sufficient amount of ultrasound gel to the treatment area. It should also be ensured that a layer of gel always remains between the head and the skin during ultrasound therapy .

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Kann man Frakturen mit Einsatz von Metallimplantaten behandeln?
Generell wird Ultraschall für eine beschleunigte Heilung von Frakturen beim Menschen verwendet. Für Metallimplantate wird Titan verwendet, der Ultraschall wird vollständig vom Metall reflektiert und es kommt zu keinen negativen Wechselwirkungen mit dem Implantat. Bei Tieren wird allerdings häufig ein anderes Metall als Titan eingesetzt. Da es dazu keine Studien gibt, wird eine Behandlung vom Hersteller nicht empfohlen. Wenn Sie wissen, welches Material beim Tier eingesetzt wurde, können Sie ein eigenes Behandlungsprogramm erstellen.
Kann der kleine Ultraschallkopf auch mit 3 MHz Programmen betrieben werden?
Nein, der kleine Ultraschallkopf kann nur mit 1 MHz Programmen angewendet werden.
