Radial pressure wave
Three low-cost radial units sold online by Shockwave Distributors of Rochester, New York: the portable Mini, the Pro and the high-volume XL.
Specs and prices are estimates based on publicly available data as of September 2026. Confirm details with the manufacturer or seller before you buy.
All three run at 1 to 21 Hz. The Mini works from 1 to 8 bar, and the XL from 1.0 to 4.0 bar in 0.1 bar steps. The Pro has a built-in compressor, an 8-inch touchscreen, five applicator sizes and a second massage handle, and the XL uses a German KNF air pump.
Prices are published: $3,949 for the Mini, $10,349 for the Pro and $13,349 for the XL, each with a one-year limited warranty. The seller says the machines are built from imported parts but does not name the factory, ships only within the United States, and positions the devices outside diagnosis or treatment.
Where it stands out. Radically cheaper, direct e-commerce purchase, one-year warranty.
What to check. The seller frames these devices around wellness rather than diagnosis or treatment. Confirm the exact cleared indications before making any clinical claim.
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.
No device-specific FDA clearance was located. The seller positions these devices as wellness products rather than for diagnosis or treatment, which is a materially different regulatory posture from a cleared medical device.
