What is a Skanlab VET
Skanlab Vet diathermy device is intended for the treatment of muscle, tendon and ligament injuries, degenerative musculoskeletal conditions and pain in animals, and as part of a treatment regime that may include other treatments. Specific applications include:
• Acceleration of soft tissue and muscle healing after injury
• Control of pain, including joint pain
• Acceleration of joint healing and pain conditions in joints
• Better elasticity of muscles and soft tissues
Skanlab VET is also widely used for PREVENTIVE TREATMENT
Technical operation
Skanlab Vet generates an electrostatic field energy with a frequency of 500 kHz (0.5 MHz).
The watt power is 25 watts, and the power is based on creating an alternating static current that creates an electrodynamic field and therefore uses the complex of electrodynamics. The unit is classified as a longwave (600m) diathermy device (monopolar). The current is characterized by being a capacitive high-frequency current.
The device itself is grounded, but the current processing circuit itself does not contain a "real" grounding electrode. Treatment electrode, and patient current return electrode are only part of the circuit to treat the patient (animal), and to close the circuit. The animal's tissue is also part of this circuit. The effect of the heating is generated in the tissue under the treatment electrode.
The Skanlab unit operates by dielectric or capacitance - When dielectrically connected diathermy is used, a rapidly alternating voltage differential is created which produces a rapidly alternating electric field in a circuit. The treatment electrode and patient current return electrode are placed with adequate and optimal skin contact with the patient. The electric field penetrates into the tissues (through the surface of the enamel on the treatment electrode and the animal's skin tissue) in the relevant area of the body. The energy enters the tissue via the treatment electrode and emits energy in the form of heat, and returns via the patient current to the return electrode, thereby closing the treatment circuit.
The heating effect in the tissue is below the treatment electrode. Due to the electric charges in the tissue molecules, the ions in the tissue will try to align with the rapidly changing electric field. This rapid movement, or exchange, of the ions causes friction or collision with other ions and charges and produces heat in the tissue. The electric field strength is determined by the degree of potential difference between the electrodes set by the unit's current regulator. Since the frequency is not varied, the average effect determines the actual effect of the heating. The heating itself is due to loss of energy in the tissue. This in turn provides less energy through the surrounding tissue and to the patient current return electrode.
