Texua T708R

Product Code: PAWE-EAPD-3338

Two hundred and ten millimetres tall, and loud enough to need a door.

This console stands 210 mm high on a 440 × 390 mm base, so it fits under a wall cupboard or on a trolley shelf. What decides the room is not the footprint. It is the noise a shockwave handpiece makes.

The T708R is a benchtop radial shockwave console that stands 210 mm tall on a 440 × 390 mm base and weighs 17 kg. The sheet publishes pressure from 0.5 to 12 bar in half-bar steps, at 1 to 21 Hz in single steps, impulse counts from 100 to 9,900 in hundreds, a 400 W rating, a 10.1-inch touch screen, and nine probes. Probe sizes, a noise figure, coupling gel and any carry case are absent.

The low body is genuinely useful. It clears the underside of a wall cupboard, sits on a trolley shelf without raising the centre of gravity, and leaves the couch side of a treatment room free. What it does not do is disappear acoustically. Impulse noise from shockwave treatment has been measured at around 88 dB on average, which is above the level at which an employer has to assess exposure, so a partitioned corner of an open gym is the wrong home for it and a room with a door is the right one.

Nine heads need somewhere to live too. The sheet lists them as a count with no case or tray, and gel-covered transmitters left loose in a drawer are the fastest route to a scratched face and a missing head. The photograph shows a vent on the right side of the body, so leave clearance there when you push the console back against a wall.

The carton measures 550 × 460 × 430 mm and weighs 28 kg. Medigear.uk lists the T708R for UK business buyers. Before ordering, ask for the probe list with sizes, a measured noise level at the operator position, whether a case or tray is included, and the declaration of conformity.

Sports medicine services, physiotherapy practices, podiatry clinics and musculoskeletal pain teams are the buyers. The treated conditions are those with published guidance: Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and greater trochanteric pain syndrome, each delivered as a short course alongside a loading programme.

A low console suits a site where the treatment room does other work. Sports clubs and multi-use rooms rarely have a dedicated shockwave bay, so a unit that sits under a cupboard and leaves the plinth clear earns its space. Clinics that share a building with quiet consulting rooms should consider the wall it sits against before the first list, not after the first complaint.

The clinical routine does not change with the layout. Screening against the contraindications in the instructions for use, a consent conversation that names the uncertainty in the evidence, gel at the interface, the head chosen for the area, and a note of the pressure, rate and impulse count for every area treated. Patients are told that soreness for a day or two is usual.

Estate duties come with the purchase. The employer assesses noise exposure, the console joins the electrical testing schedule, and the probes need a cleaning routine and a clean place to live. An NHS service routes the machine through medical devices management before it reaches a clinic room, and the seller passes on the conformity documents the team will ask for. Independent sites keep the same records themselves, since insurers ask the same questions in the same order.

A 210 mm profile

The body is low enough to fit under a wall cupboard or on a trolley shelf, turning an awkward gap into the machine's home and keeping the plinth side of the room clear.

A modest footprint

At 440 × 390 mm, the console takes up less worktspace op than most treatment equipment, so a shared room doesn't have to be rearranged around it.

One-person handling at 17 kg

The unit is the lightest configuration in this format, so moving it between rooms needs a planned lift rather than two staff and a trolley. Confirm whether a handle or case is available.

A packing carton worth keeping

The 0.11 m³ carton is sized for the machine, which matters for a service that travels to a club or stores the unit out of season.

Fine pressure control

Half-bar steps from 0.5 to 12 bar give a wide choice of settings and a simple number for the treatment record, which helps when a patient finds the treatment hard to tolerate.

Impulse counts in hundreds

Counts from 100 to 9,900 let you set a written protocol exactly and repeat it at the next appointment, which makes two sessions comparable.

A 10.1-inch screen on a small body

The display is the same size as larger consoles in this format, so the interface isn't the compromise the footprint might suggest.

Nine heads supplied

A nine-probe set covers more areas than the two- or three-head sets typical of smaller units, provided the sizes suit the caseload. Ask for the list before the order.

Nine shockwave probes

Supplied as a count. Diameters, materials, penetration depths and intended areas are not published, so request the list in the quotation.

Pressure of 0.5 to 12 bar

Half-bar increments across the range, printed under energy on the sheet although the unit is pressure. No measurement point is given.

Rate of 1 to 21 Hz

Single hertz increments. Nothing is published about burst or continuous modes.

Impulse count of 100 to 9,900

Hundreds at a time across the range. Whether the count covers one area or a whole session is left open.

400 W power rating

Not identified as demand or output. A standard socket covers it either way.

10.1-inch touch screen

Mounted upright on the left side of the body in the photograph, showing a body-map interface. Protocol storage and record export are not described.

Handpiece and cradle

The photograph shows a handpiece parked in a cradle on the right with a coiled hose. Weight, trigger and hose length are not published.

Side vent (photograph only)

A vent appears on the lower right of the body. Leave clearance there, and confirm the recommended gap with the manufacturer.

No carry handle listed

Neither the sheet nor the photograph shows a handle or a case. Treat moves as a two-hand lift and ask whether a transport case exists.

Probe storage

Not listed. Confirm whether a tray or case ships, since nine gel-covered heads need somewhere clean to sit between patients.

Coupling gel

Not listed. Radial treatment needs gel at the interface, so confirm what ships and what the clinic should stock.

Console dimensions and weight

440 × 390 × 210 mm at 17 kg, printed as 44 × 39 × 21 cm. The axis order is not stated.

Packing

550 × 460 × 430 mm at 28 kg, about 0.11 m³.

Mains supply

The sheet gives a 220 V, 50 Hz build and a 110 V, 60 Hz build. Order the first for a UK site and confirm the input range reaches 230 V.

Manufacturer marking

The sheet shows only a model code, while the photograph shows the Texua name below the screen. Ask the seller to confirm the legal manufacturer on the declaration of conformity.

The T708R is the flat one: 210 mm tall on a 440 × 390 mm base, 17 kg, with nine probes, half-bar steps to 12 bar and a 10.1-inch screen. The footprint makes it easy to place, and the noise makes it worth placing carefully, because impulse noise from shockwave treatment has been reported at levels that put a room inside the employer's noise assessment. Settle four things before delivery: the probe list with sizes, a measured noise figure at the operator position, whether a case or tray and gel are included, and where in the building the console will live through Medigear. UK,k a UK business buyer can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, staff familiarisation and ongoing service cover.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

On a bench or a trolley at working height, with the handpiece cradle on the side the clinician works from and clearance behind the vent shown in the photograph. At 210 mm, it fits under a wall cupboard, which is usually wasted space in a treatment room. Avoid the far corner of a shared gym, because the noise travels further than the pulse does.

The sheet gives no figure, and the manufacturer should. As a category, shockwave treatment has been reported at around 88 dB of average impulse noise in a 2024 review, which sits above the 80 dB(A) lower action value in the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. That level triggers an exposure assessment, information for staff and hearing protection on request. Ask for a measured reading where the operator stands, not where the patient lies.

At 17 kg, in principle. The sheet lists no carry handle,e and the photograph shows none, so it is a two-hand lift from underneath, not a one-hand carry. If the machine will move regularly, ask whether a case is available and keep the original carton, which is 0.11 m³ and sized for the job.

A standard socket for a 400 W draw, a surface that takes a 440 × 390 mm footprint, clearance at the vent, and a door. Nothing about radial shockwave needs shielding, plumbing or ventilation beyond normal room airflow. The noise assessment is the only environmental item that usually catches a clinic out.

Somewhere clean, dry and organised, which the sheet does not supply. Heads are cleaned and dried after use, and a tray or case keeps them off a drawer base where gel residue and knocks damage the treatment face. Ask whether storage ships with the unit and what the maker recommends for cleaning.

They are transmitter heads that change how the pulse spreads. Published ranges in this field run from small heads for points and superficial structures up to larger heads for muscle and connective tissue, with penetration depths that differ by head. The sheet provides a count and nothing else, so request the list with diameters and intended areas before placing the order.

Pressure runs from 0.5 to 12 bar in half-bar steps, the rate from 1 to 21 Hz, and the impulse count from 100 to 9,900 in hundreds. Bar is a unit of pressure, and the sheet prints it under energy, with no measurement point given, so the top figure describes the machine rather than the tissue. Published protocols use well under the maximum available count for a single area.

NICE published guidance on shockwave for Achilles tendinopathy in December 2016, concluding that the evidence raises no major safety concerns while the evidence on efficacy is inconsistent and limited in quality and quantity. It asks clinicians to inform governance leads, give patients clear written information about that uncertainty and audit outcomes. Similar guidance covers plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and greater trochanteric pain syndrome.

IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 cover general safety and electromagnetic compatibility. The closest particular standard, IEC 60601-2-36, was drafted for extracorporeal lithotripsy rather than radial equipment, so ask which references the manufacturer used. On the clinic side, the duties are the noise assessment, PUWER 1998, routine electrical safety testing and the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 only where a pressure vessel is fitted.

The probe list with sizes, a measured noise figure, whether it comes in a case or tray and any gel shipped with the unit, the service interval for the parts inside the handpiece, and the conformity documents. Agreeing on where the console will live at the same time avoids the common outcome: a machine parked on the only free surface in the building.
