MAGNETOLITH® ultra+

Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) for regeneration and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders

Extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) opens up new possibilities in the regeneration and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal diseases. Our EMTT device – the MAGNETOLITH® – can be used to selectively treat a number of pains and symptoms of the musculoskeletal system. Due to its properties, the EMTT is also ideally suited as a supplement to extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT).

Product Overview

MAGNETOLITH® ultra+ Supercharge your tissue

Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) offered by STORZ MEDICAL provides a new non-invasive procedure for i.e. relaxation of muscle spasms. The powerful therapy device – the MAGNETOLITH® ultra+ – is impressive with its high level of patient comfort and ease of use.

EMTT acts using high-energy electromagnetic pulses outside the body which generate a weak electric current in the body by means of induction. EMTT differs from other general forms of magnetic field therapy or PEMF in its higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength.

EMTT treatment using the MAGNETOLITH® ultra+

Typical indications
Magnetolith ring applicator being used to treat a seated patient's lower back
  • Relaxation of muscle spasms
  • Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
  • Increase local blood circulation
  • Muscle re-education
  • Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
  • Maintaining or increasing range of motion
  • The patient does not have to undress

    WHAT IS EMTT?

    ‍

    The effect of electromagnetic stimulation on our cells

    Electromagnetic stimulation, as used in Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT), can relieve pain and reduce inflammation. These effects are generated by the oscillating magnetic field in the coil. The mechanism of action in the body is explained in this article.

    Electromagnetic fields provide a non-invasive, safe, and simple method for treating pain in diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The current flows in a circular path through a coil, generating a magnetic field around the coil. This oscillating magnetic field, in turn, induces a current in the tissue that flows in the opposite direction to the current in the coil.

    Humans cannot directly sense magnetic fields, but they do respond to the electric current generated by these fields. This current is introduced into the body as electrical energy, which can lead to the following two phenomena in the tissue, among others: piezoelectricity and electroporation. These phenomena have an anti-inflammatory effect while stimulating cell activity.

    What are the biological effects of EMTT?

    Therapeutically efficient magnetic field, Normalisation of the membrane potential, Electromagnetic activation of the ion channels

    What are the typical application areas?

    Degenerative joint diseases, pain treatment, and sports injuries

    What is EMTT?

    Application areas of Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) include musculoskeletal disorders such as lower back pain as well as inflammation in tendons and joints. EMTT differs from other general forms of magnetic field therapy or PEMF in its higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength, resulting in a strong »effective transduction power«.
