Why Veterinarians Choose SW13H

Primary Use: Equine Sports Medicine (Race Horses & Sport Horses)
Secondary Use: Canine & Working Dogs (Supplementary)
📚 ESWT in Veterinary Medicine
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has been used in veterinary medicine since the late 1990s, with peer-reviewed research supporting its efficacy in equine and canine musculoskeletal conditions. Outcomes depend on accurate diagnosis, proper treatment protocol selection, and patient-specific factors. SW13H is intended for use by licensed veterinarians, qualified equine therapists, and animal rehabilitation professionals.
Built for the Equine Sports Medicine Market
Race horses, show jumpers, dressage horses, and recreational competition mounts all share one reality — soft tissue injuries are the most common reason an athletic horse can't perform. ESWT has become an essential tool in modern equine sports medicine practice.

Veterinary Practitioner FAQ
Is sedation required to treat horses with SW13H?
It depends on the horse's temperament, treatment area, and energy intensity. Many horses tolerate shockwave therapy without sedation, especially for less sensitive areas like hindquarters or back. For sensitive areas (suspensories, fetlock) or anxious horses, light sedation is often recommended by veterinarians for both safety and treatment efficacy.
How is SW13H different from SW13 (human version)?
The hardware is identical — same German Thomas compressor, same handpiece, same applicators, same build quality as the SW13 model used in physiotherapy clinics worldwide. The difference is entirely in the onboard software: SW13H ships with pre-loaded veterinary treatment protocols (equine and canine) replacing the human treatment presets. Parameter recommendations are calibrated for animal tissue depth, density, and common veterinary indications.
This means SW13H gives you the proven SW13 reliability platform — with vet-specific guidance built in.
What kind of veterinary training do I need to operate SW13H?
SW13H is designed for use by licensed veterinarians, qualified equine therapists, and certified animal rehabilitation professionals. We provide free 1-on-1 online training focused on veterinary applications — including condition-specific protocol selection, treatment positioning for different animals, and case management best practices.
Can SW13H be used in field/mobile veterinary practice?
Yes. The compact design and standard AC power requirements make SW13H suitable for mobile equine practice, stable visits, and on-site rehabilitation work. Many of our SW13H customers use it specifically for ambulatory equine veterinary services.
How many sessions does a typical treatment course require?
Most musculoskeletal conditions in animals respond to a course of 3-5 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Chronic conditions or complex injuries may require additional sessions. Each treatment lasts 10-20 minutes depending on the area and protocol used.
Can I customize SW13H with my practice logo?
Yes. We offer free logo customization on the machine body and start-up screen for all SW13H orders. Many of our equine veterinary customers brand the machine with their practice or stable name — useful for both professional appearance and asset identification.
Do you have a return policy if SW13H doesn't fit my practice?
Yes. We offer 30-day returns on all SW13H units. If the machine doesn't meet your practice needs, contact us at sophia@kmslaser.com within 30 days of delivery to arrange return and refund.
