Shockwave

Four systems, two manufacturers, one modality.

The mechanism

What it is

Shockwave (pressure-wave) systems deliver acoustic pulses through a handpiece, applied directly to the skin. In this portfolio the same modality covers two different jobs: Zimmer builds a dedicated device for each indication, ZWave Pro for body contouring, Gentle Pro for erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease. MoreNova builds one platform, available floor-standing or portable, across a wider indication set.

What it treats

Applications

DNA Nexus carries shockwave systems from two manufacturers on this page. Neither is ranked against the other: the right system depends on the indication and the specialty asking for it, not a feature comparison.

  • Body contouring and skin tightening (ZWave Pro)
  • Erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease (Gentle Pro)
  • Erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, chronic pelvic pain syndrome / LUTS, wound healing, peripheral arterial disease, female sexual dysfunction, stress urinary incontinence, vulvodynia, vaginal atrophy / genitourinary syndrome of menopause, cellulite, and musculoskeletal disorders (MoreNova PRO / DT, each indication carrying its own patient population, listed below)

The detail

FAQ

What's the difference between ZWave Pro and Gentle Pro?

ZWave Pro treats body contouring and skin tightening. Gentle Pro is the dedicated device for erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's disease. They are not the same product.

What does the ZWave Pro warranty cover?

Two million shocks on the shockwave generator. Applicator heads are consumables and are not covered.

Is shockwave therapy available for women?

Yes. Gentle Pro has a documented female sexual-function protocol from CIMEG, and MoreNova PRO / DT are indicated for female sexual dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence, each with its own population criteria.

Does Gentle Pro treat Peyronie's disease?

Yes, it is on Zimmer's own dosing table: 8 to 12 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks. Only zone 1 is treated.

What's the difference between MoreNova PRO and MoreNova DT?

The same indications. PRO is a floor-standing platform; DT is a portable desktop unit.
