Texua 2202

The 2202 suits private musculoskeletal and sports clinics, independent podiatry practices, and multi-therapist physiotherapy services where several clinicians share one shock wave station. It targets chronic tendon and fascia problems that have not settled with a structured course of exercise and load management, including plantar heel pain, lateral elbow pain, Achilles tendinopathy, and greater trochanteric pain.

The evidence base shapes how a clinic should offer it. NICE has assessed shock wave therapy for each of these conditions and, across the set, found either inconsistent efficacy evidence with no major safety concerns or evidence limited in both quality and quantity. It recommends use only with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent and audit or research, and asks that patients receive clear written information about the uncertainty. Individual trials pull in different directions: a large placebo-controlled study in chronic plantar fasciitis reported benefit after radial treatment. At the same time, a 2024 Norwegian trial found no significant advantage at six months over sham or exercise when all patients also had advice and orthoses.

For a private clinic, the practical conclusion is to use shockwave as a defined pathway: select patients who have genuinely failed conservative care, treat them to a written protocol that every therapist applies the same way, record outcomes at each visit and present the evidence honestly in consent discussions and marketing. The large screen supports the shared-protocol part of that approach, provided the underlying software is confirmed.

The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

Settings two people can read at once

The 12.1-inch touchscreen shows pressure, rate and shot count at a size a supervising clinician and a treating therapist can both check. That makes it easier to agree on settings before the first shot.

Protocols that are easier to teach

When a clinic writes its protocol as three numbers, a large display makes those numbers easy to find and confirm; new staff can learn the pathway on the unit they will use.

A narrow cabinet on castors

The station's 380 mm side lets it stand alongside a couch in a compact private treatment room. Photography shows castors so that it can be wheeled aside for cleaning.

Recordable sessions for consent and audit

Half-bar pressure steps, single-hertz frequency steps and a shot preset in hundreds turn each session into figures that go straight into the clinical notes and any audit.

Screen at standing height

The display sits at the top of a 1,035 mm cabinet, within reach of a clinician standing at the couch throughout a session.

Mains variants for either standard

The station is listed for 220 V 50 Hz and 110 V 60 Hz supplies, so clinics can order the variant they need.

Standard socket supply

A rated 500 W draw runs from an ordinary treatment room socket without dedicated wiring.

Service terms fixed at quotation.

With one handle, the rebuild turnaround and loan arrangement decide how long sessions stop during servicing. Settling them at quotation protects clinic income.

Single pneumatic shock wave handle

One handle is listed, and the bar-rated scale identifies a pneumatic mechanism. The air source is not described and should be confirmed.

Pressure of 0.5 to 10 bar

Twenty settings are published, from gentle opening sessions to the top of the range where a protocol calls for it.

Pressure steps of 0.5 bar

Intensity increases in half-bar steps, allowing gradual progression within patient tolerance.

Pulse frequency of 1 to 21 Hz

Twenty-one rates are available. Slower rates suit a tender point, and faster rates shorten sessions with a high shot count.

Frequency steps of 1 Hz

Rate changes one hertz at a time, keeping it as reproducible as pressure across a course.

Shot preset of 100 to 9,900

Session length is set in hundreds before treatment, covering short elbow sessions and longer hip or heel sessions.

12.1-inch touchscreen

A 12.1-inch touch display controls all parameters. Stored protocols, user profiles and interface languages are not described.

Five shock wave probes

Five probes are listed. Their dimensions, materials and recommended uses are not published.

Rated power of 500 W

The station draws a rated 500 W from a standard clinical socket.

Supply options of 220 V 50 Hz or 110 V 60 Hz

Both mains standards are named, without stating whether one unit switches between them, so the supply is specified at order.

Floor-standing cabinet of 500 × 380 × 1035 mm

The published dimensions describe a tall, narrow station. Check which figure is the width and which is the depth on delivery.

Unit weight of 28.1 kg

The station can be wheeled by one person and lifted by two. The packing list should explain the 53 kg carton weight.

Castors, angled screen and holster in photography

Photography shows four castors on a dark base, an angled screen on top and one handpiece holstered on the right. None of these is described in the written specification, and castor braking should be confirmed.

The 2202 is a floor-standing radial shock wave station with a 12.1-inch touchscreen, one pneumatic handle and five probes in a narrow 28.1 kg cabinet. Its strongest case is a private clinic where several therapists share one unit and follow a common written protocol, because the settings are easy to read and check together. The points to settle at quotation are the software behind the screen, probe sizes, per-probe energy data and the single handle's rebuild and loan terms. Medigear.uk lists the 2202 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover.
