The Söring ultrasonic lavage portfolio

The low-frequency ultrasound is generated by the Sonoca generator.  An irrigation fluid (saline solution) is required for the transmission of the vibrations and the therapeutic effect of the ultrasound. The handpieces, which are activated via a footswitch, are equipped with different sonotrodes – required for the various types of wounds – and feature internal irrigation to allow application of the fluid (e.g. Ringer’s solution) to the wound surface. The irrigation fluid also serves to flush out the detached necrotic components and can also be combined with an antiseptic for infected wounds.

For bactericidal deep cleaning with ultrasonic lavage, Söring offers a large selection of handpieces specially coordinated to the respective type of wound.

The sonotrodes:
The use of the different sonotrodes is dependent on the kind of wound and the preference of the therapist. The following recommendation is provided for orientation:

Wound pockets
Use of the short double ball sonotrode – allows the introduction in deep wounds and complex wound pockets.

Intramedullary cleaning
Use of long double ball sonotrode – allows intramedullary cleaning.

Large-scale treatments
Use of horseshoe sonotrode – allows the treatment of large-scale infections via the large contact surface of the sonotrode.

Wound clefts
Use of the spatula sonotrode – allows thorough debridement of wound areas that are difficult to access.
