Veterinary Shockwave Comparison: PiezoWave 2T Vet vs CS Vet Pro
Energy Output: Expanding Treatment Capability
When evaluating shockwave therapy systems for veterinary use, the differences between technologies can significantly impact clinical outcomes, treatment flexibility, and practice efficiency. Two systems often compared are PiezoWave²ᵀ VET and Curative Sound (CS Vet Pro). While both are used in veterinary settings, their capabilities differ in ways that matter in daily clinical practice.
Adaptability: One System vs. One-Size-Fits-All
A key limitation of Curative Sound (CS Vet Pro) is its reliance on a single therapy source. This means the same focus geometry is used across all indications, regardless of species, tissue depth, or pathology.
PiezoWave²ᵀ VET ,offers:
• 5 specialized therapy sources
• Variable focus zones and penetration depths
• The only dual-layer high-volume FBL linear therapy source
• The only dual-layer pinpoint FB10G6 therapy source with both high energy and deep penetration
• Customization for both small animal and equine treatments
This allows practitioners to tailor treatments precisely rather than adapting the patient to the device.
Penetration Depth: Treating Beyond the Surface
Penetration depth is critical, particularly in equine medicine and deep musculoskeletal conditions.
- PiezoWave²ᵀ VET: up to 100 mm central penetration depth
- Curative Sound (CS Vet Pro): up to approximately 30 mm penetration at the focal point of EFD
The limited depth of CS Vet Pro can restrict its effectiveness in deeper indications, while PiezoWave²ᵀ VET provides the anatomical reach required for a broader range of cases.
Energy Output: Expanding Treatment Capability
Energy Flux Density (EFD) determines how much therapeutic energy is delivered to the tissue.
- PiezoWave²ᵀ VET: up to 0.82 mJ/mm²
- Curative Sound (CS Vet Pro): up to 0.22 mJ/mm²
This difference is substantial. A larger range of energy provides:
- Treatment of both soft tissue and bone pathologies
- More effective management of specific chronic or acute injures
- Greater flexibility in therapy protocols
In contrast, CS Vet Pro is limited to lower-intensity treatments.

Treatment Precision and Control
Modern veterinary therapy requires not only power but also precision and patient-specific adaptability.
PiezoWave²ᵀ VET provides:
- 20 intensity levels + 9 substages
- Fine-tuned control for sensitive patients
- Multiple focal configurations
- 7 gel pads for each pinpoint therapy source and 5 for the linear therapy source
- Large 8.5-inch touchscreen interface
Curative Sound (CS Vet Pro) offers:
- Only 6 intensity levels
- Only a total of 5 gel pads for depth precision
- A smaller 2.8-inch interface
- Limited ability to adjust treatment parameters
This difference directly impacts usability, patient comfort, and clinical precision.
Direct Comparison: Where Performance Diverges
Same Depth Range, Double the Output
When comparing similar penetration depth therapy source, the PiezoWave F7G3 to the CS Vet Pro
- Same depth for central focal area
- EFD: approximately 2× higher
This translates into more effective energy delivery and improved therapeutic outcomes.
Deep Tissue & Equine Applications: A Critical Advantage
For deeper and large animal indications, compare the Piezowave FB10G6 or F10G10 to CS Vet Pro
- Penetration depth: up to 2× deeper
- EFD: more than 3× higher
These capabilities make PiezoWave²ᵀ VET particularly valuable in equine medicine, where depth and energy are essential for successful treatment.
Conclusion: A Clear Clinical Advantage
When comparing PiezoWave²ᵀ VET with CS Vet Pro, the differences are not marginal.
PiezoWave²ᵀ VET delivers:
- Greater adaptability through multiple therapy sources
- Significantly deeper penetration
- Substantially higher energy output
- Advanced precision and control
- The result is a system that enables more effective treatments across a wider range of indications, helping veterinary professionals deliver better outcomes with greater confidence.

Curious how these systems actually perform in practice, not just on paper?
