Indications for Use

  • Interferential Current Mode: Symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment for the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain.
  • Neuromuscular Stimulator Mode: Relaxation of muscle spasm, increasing local blood circulation, maintaining and increasing range of motion, preventing or retarding disuse atrophy, muscle re-education, and immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.
