Specs and prices are estimates based on publicly available data as of September 2026. Confirm details with the manufacturer or seller before you buy.
Overview
A high-voltage spark in water generates the wave, and a patented parabolic reflector spreads it across a treatment volume rather than a single focal point. SoftWave's technical data give 0.01 to 0.19 mJ/mm², 0.5 to 8 Hz and a 0 to 82 mm −6 dB zone for the OP155 applicator; its FAQ says the energy reaches 7 cm wide and up to 12 cm deep.
The Gold Li comes in musculoskeletal, urology, and dermatology and wound versions, and SoftWave marks the urology version as not FDA cleared for that use. A closed-loop water system degasses automatically. SoftWave is based in Alpharetta, Georgia, and discusses pricing through its representatives.
Where it stands out. The clearest FDA record among the broad-field devices, with strong US direct sales.

SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S): common questions
How much does the SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S) cost?
The published pricing we found for the SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S) is a purchase price of $40,000–$99,000 (as previously reported on 20 August 2026; the current page uses an ROI calculator instead). Otherwise, no lease terms are published. Confirm the current price, and exactly what it includes, in a written quote.
Is the SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S) FDA cleared?
A device-specific 510(k) was located for the OW100S configuration. Among the broad-field devices reviewed, this is the clearest regulatory record in the set. The record is 510(k) K233937 (Diabetic foot ulcers, decided July 2024).
What kind of shockwave machine is the SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S)?
The SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S) is an electrohydraulic broad-focused shockwave machine. A broad-focused device spreads its energy through a treatment volume rather than concentrating it at one point. Stated use: Musculoskeletal, urology, and dermatology and wound versions.
Who makes the SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S)?
The SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S) is made by SoftWave TRT, based in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA.
Can you lease the SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S)?
For leasing, the published position is “Financing stated to exist” (terms not public). Ask SoftWave TRT for the term, APR, total payments and buyout in writing before you sign.
What are the SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S)'s specifications?
The published figures for the SoftWave Gold Li Series (OW100S) are energy: 0.01–0.19 mJ/mm² across the treatment volume · 0.34–4.22 mJ per pulse; frequency: 0.5–8 Hz; depth: up to 12 cm max penetration · 0–82 mm focus volume; weight: 36.3 lb (≈ 16.5 kg). 9 of the 32 fields we track have no published figure, so ask for those in writing.
