The SQOOM® medical system consists of a handstick with three frequencies for manual control of the ultrasound (low-intensity pulsed ultrasound = LIPUS). Ultrasound produces a variety of physiological effects and is thus suitable for supporting the body’s self-healing powers. In addition to the direct effect on the tissue through mechanical pressure and particle movement, an additional “internal” mechanical effect of triggered secondary effects, such as cavitation and micro-currents, is described, which can also be referred to as “micro-massage”. Undesirable excessive local overheating, e.g. on the periosteum, can be avoided by correct application. Due to the procedure, light superficial skin heating may occur.

SQOOM® medical ultrasound-penetration of the three frequencies: skin contact with ultrasound gel
Depth of penetration depends on the impulse frequencies (in MHz). As a rule, the higher the impulse frequency, the lower the depth of penetration and depth effect. The secondary effects described above can, however, cause a considerable continuance of the energy into the depth in connective tissue even with higher frequencies.
SQOOM® medical delivers therapeutic mechanical stimulation without active heat build-up in the target tissue.
