Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) provides a new non-invasive procedure for i.e. relaxation of muscle spasms
MAGNETOLITH® ultra+ – Supercharge your tissue
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) offered by STORZ MEDICAL provides a new non-invasive procedure for i.e. relaxation of muscle spasms. The powerful therapy device – the MAGNETOLITH® ultra+ – is impressive with its high level of patient comfort and ease of use.
EMTT acts using high-energy electromagnetic pulses outside the body which generate a weak electric current in the body by means of induction. EMTT differs from other general forms of magnetic field therapy or PEMF in its higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength.
At a glance
- Non-invasive, ambulant therapy
- High level of patient comfort and easy to use
- High oscillating frequency with deep penetration
EMTT treatment using the MAGNETOLITH® ultra+
Treatment with the MAGNETOLITH® ultra+ is non-invasive and requires little effort. It is comfortable and uncomplicated for patients:
The handpiece is positioned directly above the region of the body to be treated without the need to remove clothing. The user can employ the practical holding arm for fatigue-free treatment. If required, the handpiece can also be guided by hand during the therapy.
The EMTT treatment is performed with a frequency of up to 10 pulses per second. The pulse intensity is adjusted depending on the clinical picture. Treatment takes 5 – 20 minutes depending on the indication and frequency.
Highlights
Treatment with MAGNETOLITH® ultra+ is comfortable and straightforward:
- The patient does not have to undress
- Effective fatigue-free work for the user
- Handpiece positioning by hand or with the flexible holding arm
- A treatment session lasts between 5 – 20 minutes depending on the indication
- Adjustable frequency up to 10 pulses/s
Typical indications
The MAGNETOLITH® ultra+ Muscle Stimulator is indicated for:
- Relaxation of muscle spasms
- Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
- Increase local blood circulation

Experiences with the MAGNETOLITH®
»We have been using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) since 2014 and incorporated Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) in 2020. In our daily practice we use EMTT either as a combination with manual therapy and exercise or combined with ESWT.«
Yves De Vos, Hampshire, United Kingdom
»EMTT might just be the missing piece of the puzzle for clinicians and patients alike. It not only enhances the effects of ESWT but also delivers faster results that are almost immediately noticeable for patients. In my practice, it’s become indispensable – operating up to 10 hours a day with an exceptional ROI.«
Paul Hobrough, Halliwell Dene, Hexham, UK
»The MAGNETOLITH expands my therapy options in daily orthopaedic practice. EMTT has so far been a good conservative therapy for treating degenerative finger joint or tarsal problems. It is precisely in these cases that I have until now lacked an effective therapeutic option.«
Dr Alf Piepenbrink, Stuhr-Brinkum, Germany
»We’ve been routinely successful in treating classic indications with the mechanotransduction induced by radial and focused ESWT in recent years. So the EMTT (extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy), with its active magnetotransduction principle, its highly energetic magnetic field (80 mT), as well as its very high oscillation frequency and penetration depth, is the ideal complement to our therapy portfolio. I currently use EMTT with the MAGNETOLITH on the lumbar spine for pain therapy (in combination with acupuncture), for enthesopathies of the elbow joint, calcific tendinitis of the shoulder and plantar fasciitis. The EMTT is performed every two days for a total of six treatments. This treatment regimen has been the best at allowing us to reduce patient pain and decrease patient medications. The patients appreciate the relatively short treatment duration with EMTT. My previous experiences with the MAGNETOLITH have been consistently positive.«
Dr Damian Görner, Berlin, Germany
»At my clinic and practice, I use the MAGNETOLITH primarily for degenerative joint, muscle and tendon disorders, but also for inflammatory forms of musculoskeletal disorders, both as a standalone therapy and as a supplement to extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). Treatment with the MAGNETOLITH is incredibly straightforward. Depending on the clinical picture, I can tailor the pulse intensity and pulse repetition rate to my patients. For a localised treatment, I secure the applicator above the patient using an articulated arm. If I'm working over a larger area, I guide the applicator manually.«
Prof Dr Ludger Gerdesmeyer, Kiel, Germany
»For me, MAGNETOLITH complements the combined shock wave therapy in a congenial way. In my sports practice, I see clear synergistic effects on diseased tendons and bones that result in accelerated tissue healing. This is of immense importance, especially for the top athletes I look after.«
Prof Dr Karsten Knobloch, Hanover, Germany
»Positive results for musculoskeletal conditions with ESWT or EMTT alone are great, but can be improved even further by combining both treatment options.«
Dr Ulrich Dreisilker, Velbert-Tönisheide, Germany
»As a physiotherapist for the Yamaha KM99 team in the FIM EWC and the Boutsen-VDS Racing team in the Fanatec GT3 Championship, STORZ MEDICAL’s EMTT and ESWT are essential for keeping athletes in top form. A big thanks to Thibaud Laffineuse from PhysioK for always being available with expert advice.«
Stephen O. Davies, Brussels, Belgium
»Thanks to its convincing treatment results and the versatility of its uses, the EMTT is a very valuable tool for our patients. The high frequencies of the magnetic field combined with the high intensity are the key to successful treatment.«
Dr Rik van den Daele, Stade, Germany
»The novel EMTT technology is not only a great complement to ESWT but also extremely useful as a stand-alone therapy – as I have found with my own shoulder.«
Prof Dr Musa Citak, Hamburg, Germany
»I was convinced by Prof. Gerdesmeyer's comprehensive student research project. Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) is very well received by patients.«
Dr Philipp Spolwind, Freistadt, Austria
»I have been using the MAGNETOLITH for a few weeks in addition to shock wave therapy. The results are promising. The MAGNETOLITH is the missing link in my practice!«
Dr Rainer Perner, Mondsee, Austria.
»My new treatment offer with the MAGNETOLITH works efficiently for pain. Fast regeneration in (high-performance) sport is incredibly important, I know that from my own experience. Accelerated recovery and pain reduction in the case of sports injuries, a torn muscle fibre, etc. can be achieved with Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT). In addition to sports injuries, the MAGNETOLITH is also used for chronic back pain or joint complaints such as arthrosis«
Dr Claudia Bohmann, Vienna, Austria.
