Electric stimulator Primo 960

tabletopNMESIF

The Primo Interferential 960 uses a mid-frequency electrical signal to treat muscular spasms and strains which makes it particularly effective in treating acute injuries, especially in sport. The interferential therapy (NMES) is used to relieve pain, stimulate muscles and increases local blood flow. Ordering information: Option 1 Primo Interferential 960 therapy unit 2/4 pole patient lead, four medium (80x60mm) rubber electrodes, four medium sponge covers, four electrode connection cables ( blue and yellow) and two stretch bandages (1200x75mm) Option 2 Primo Interferential 960 therapy unit 2/4 pole patient lead, four electrode connection cables ( blue and yellow), and 20 packs of Primo Self-Adhesive electrodes Description Interferential Therapy Interferential therapy employs medium frequency interferential currents used in 2 or 4-pole configurations to produce a low-frequency stimulation effect. Prior to the introduction of interferential therapy in the mid-1950s, low-frequency stimulation (NMES) was used for pain relief, muscle re-education etc. These currents, however, have the disadvantage that normal human skin has a relatively high impedance at such frequencies. In order to overcome the skin impedance, a larger voltage has to be used to achieve the desired current, resulting in a more uncomfortable treatment for the patient. In addition, the penetration depth of these currents is poor and in part is limited by the discomfort to the patient.
