Our notes | ||
| Where it stands out | Established Maryland headquarters with a demonstration programme. | The only veterinary-specific model found in this research pass. |
| What to check | The manufacturer site claims “FDA Cleared” without showing a 510(k) number. Request the number directly. | No US veterinary regulatory record was located, and the manufacturer's own specifications conflict on maximum depth: 45 mm in one place and 65 mm in another. |

Medispec Orthospec vs KAPHA EMFOCUS VET: common questions
What is the difference between the Medispec Orthospec and the KAPHA EMFOCUS VET?
Both the Medispec Orthospec and the KAPHA EMFOCUS VET concentrate their energy at a focal point inside tissue, so they are built for the same clinical job and compare fairly. The Medispec Orthospec uses electrohydraulic wave generation; the KAPHA EMFOCUS VET uses electromagnetic. The Medispec Orthospec is described as “Focused ESWT, proprietary Multi-Wave”, the KAPHA EMFOCUS VET as “Veterinary electromagnetic focused”.
Which is cheaper, the Medispec Orthospec or the KAPHA EMFOCUS VET?
Neither publishes a purchase price, so both need a written quote. Prices change and estimates are not quotes, so confirm both in writing.
Are the Medispec Orthospec and the KAPHA EMFOCUS VET FDA cleared?
FDA records located: for the Medispec Orthospec, no record located; for the KAPHA EMFOCUS VET, no record located. A record covers one configuration and one indication, and never transfers to another model, so check it against the exact configuration you are quoted.
How do I choose between the Medispec Orthospec and the KAPHA EMFOCUS VET?
Start with the clinical job, then ask both vendors for the same five things in writing: the exact model, revision, and which accessories are included at that price; contract term, APR, total payments, and the buyout option at the end; handpiece and consumable life, and what a replacement costs; warranty coverage and US service turnaround time; the exact FDA clearance number and the current labelling for the configuration being quoted.
