The continued development of the piezo shockwave technology along with
the use of a therapy source with an extended linear therapy focus has led
to a decisive breakthrough in the search for ways of using shockwaves to
treat vascular erectile dysfunction. Used in combination with the new,
optimized therapy concept LSTC-ED, the application technique and
therapy outcomes have improved significantly.
We have developed a solution.
It is innovative and nothing short of
groundbreaking!

Pulse energy: 15.45mJ – this is 23 times the pulse energy of the standard
point focused F10G4 piezoelectric therapy source of the PiezoWave2
Therapy area (x y): 170mm2 – this is 19 times the therapy area of the
standard point focused F10G4 piezoelectric therapy source of the
PiezoWave2
Therapy volume (x y z): 2476 mm3 – compared to the standard point
focused F10G4 piezoelectric therapy source of the PiezoWave2, this
amounts to an increase in the volume of treated area by a factor of 40-50.

PDE-5 inhibitors
Three medicines taken by mouth are approved for the treatment
of erectile dysfunction:
Sildenafil (Viagra)
Vardenafil (Levitra)
Tadalafil (Cialis)
These drugs all work equally well.
All three are known as phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
By blocking the PDE-5 enzyme, these drugs help the smooth muscles
of the penis to relax and increase blood flow.
PDE5 inhibitors are generally the first choice of treatment
for erectile dysfunction.

Intracavernous injection therapy is the process
whereby a small amount of a chemical (prostaglandin E1)
is injected directly into the corpora cavernosa.
These chemicals are smooth muscle relaxants and thus
help increase blood flow into the penis. The advantage
of injection therapy is that it does not depend on oral
absorption, as pills do, and does not depend on
absorption through the tissues, as with intraurethral drugs.

Potential
Disadvantages and Problems PDE
PDE5 inhibitors are a good choice for men at any age who are in
good health and who do not have conditions that preclude taking them.
However, PDE5 inhibitors are not suitable for everyone.
Men who take nitrate drugs for angina, or certain types of alpha-blockers
for high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia,
should not take PDE5 inhibitors. The PDE5 inhibitors are less effective in men
with diabetes and in men who have been treated for prostate cancer.
Men with the following conditions should not take PDE5 inhibitors
without the recommendation of their doctors and even then should use them
with caution:
• Severe heart disease, such as unstable angina, a recent heart attack, or arrhythmias.
• Recent history of stroke
• Hypotension (very low blood pressure)
• Uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Severe heart failure
• Retinitis pigmentosa. (With this genetic disease, people do not produce phosphodiesterase-5 and do not respond to PDE5 inhibitors.)

Erectile Function
Healthy blood vessels matter!
Erection is the result of a complex synergy
between blood vessels, the nervous system,
hormones and muscles. During an erection
there is increased blood flow to the penis,
which in turn increases the pressure.
Sufficient blood flow to the cavernous bodies
plays an most important role in erectile
function.

Reduced arterial inflow reduces venous compression,
resulting in an insufficient erection. Arteriosclerosis is one
of the most common causes of ED.

Treatment
Treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis without
anesthesia. It is painless and only takes a few minutes.
The therapy head is positioned above the cavernous bodies
and moved longitudinally along the penis.
Treatment should be administered once or twice a week;
a full course of treatment is 4-6 sessions.
There are no known side effects.

Treatment Technique
The LSTC-ED technique is a quick and comprehensive
treatment covering the entire cavernous bodies. The therapy
source is placed at right angles to the cavernous bodies and
moved longitudinally along the penis (the cavernous bodies)
and the perineum (crura of the penis). This results in
maximum, homogeneous transfer of energy; treatment is
quick and lasts only a few minutes.

Experience:
Adjust the intensity to 15-20 and frequency to 8 Hz, use
suitable gelpad to set the penetration depth to 10-15 mm.
To avoid air bubbles use Elvation shockwave gel.
Using the LSTC technique slowly move the PiezoWave2
linear probe oriented transversely over the treatment
areas. Apply 2000 shocks on the perineum (both crus
penis) + 2000 shocks on dorsum penis (both corpus
cavernosum). A special penile holder facilitates treatment
delivery. With this technique one session with a total of
4000 shocks (New protocol shows even 5000shocks will
guarantee full target tissue therapy coverage.
Repeat approx. 4-6 times at weekly intervals.

The Mechanism of Action!
Mechanical stimuli can influence many of the cellular functions
of living tissue. Extracorporeal shockwaves – an established
treatment in modern medicine for more than 30 years –
function as mechanical stressors which trigger biochemical
changes in living tissue.

Angiogenesis (vascularization)
