Focused electromagnetic (SEPIA)
STORZ MEDICAL's tabletop focused shockwave system, built around the SEPIA handpiece and its electromagnetic cylindrical-coil source.
Specs and prices are estimates based on publicly available data as of September 2026. Confirm details with the manufacturer or seller before you buy.
With the standard SEPIA handpiece, energy runs from 0.01 to 0.55 mJ/mm², and the stand-offs supplied set the focal zone anywhere from 0 to 65 mm deep; STORZ MEDICAL America quotes penetration up to 125 mm. Frequency and energy are set on the handpiece itself, and an optional 10-inch touch screen adds patient management and recommended treatment settings.
An optional C-ACTOR handpiece extends the energy range to 1.24 mJ/mm². The T-TOP can be upgraded to the DUOLITH SD1 TOWER »ultra«, and STORZ designs the coil for simple replacement to keep service costs down. It is sold in the US and Canada by STORZ MEDICAL America.
Where it stands out. The strongest FDA paper trail in the reviewed set.
What to check. Those records are configuration-specific and indication-specific. They are not a blanket clearance for the DUOLITH line.
Every figure links to the page it came from. Fields the manufacturer does not publish are left out.
Pressure in bar, energy flux density in mJ/mm² and energy per pulse in mJ are different quantities. A figure in one row never stands in for another.
Focal depth, penetration and focus volume measure three different things. Compare like with like.
Two FDA records were located against DUOLITH SD1 configurations. Each covers one configuration and one indication, and neither extends to any other STORZ device.

STORZ MEDICAL AG does not publish a price for the STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra. Ask for a written quote that covers accessories, warranty and handpiece replacement.
Two FDA records were located against DUOLITH SD1 configurations. Each covers one configuration and one indication, and neither extends to any other STORZ device. The records are PMA P080028 (Chronic proximal plantar fasciitis in adults, after six or more months of failed conservative care) and 510(k) K202112 (Diabetic foot ulcers).
The STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra is an electromagnetic focused shockwave machine. A focused device concentrates its energy at a selected point inside tissue rather than at the skin surface.
The STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra is made by STORZ MEDICAL AG, based in Tägerwilen, Switzerland.
We found no published lease terms for the STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra. Ask the seller whether financing is available, and get the term, APR, total payments and buyout in writing.
The published figures for the STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra are energy: 0.01–0.55 mJ/mm² with the standard SEPIA handpiece; depth: 0–65 mm focal depth · Up to 125 mm max penetration. 15 of the 32 fields we track have no published figure, so ask for those in writing.
