The CareTec IV Electrical Stimulator is a portable electrotherapy device featuring FOUR therapeutic modes: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), Interferential (IF), and Russian Stim, which are used for pain relief and muscle stimulation. The stimulator sends a gentle electrical current to underlying nerves or muscles via electrodes applied to the skin. The parameters of the device are controlled by the channel buttons, with the intensity levels easily adjustable according to a user's specific needs.
Relieve your pain with TENS. TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and is a non-invasive, drug-free method of controlling pain through small electrical impulses. These impulses mask the pain in the treated area and help you carry out daily activities pain free.
Therapy stimulation for your muscles in the EMS program. EMS, or NMES, is Electrical Muscle Stimulation designed to help treat muscle injuries. This program’s function is to cause muscle contractions in efforts of helping rehab the muscle tissues, along with directly working on muscle motor neurons. This therapy is popular for all muscle-related injuries, muscle re-education, and improving blood flow to the muscle groups.
Reduce Chronic Pain & Inflammation with the IF program. Interferential Stimulation or better known for short as (IF) is a chronic pain therapy & anti-inflammatory-based treatment modality. Interferential stimulation provides powerful and deep stimulation by using two alternating-currents of different frequencies that work together to produce an interferential current. This current has been proven to stimulate sensory, motor, and pain fibers offering chronic pain relief where TENS may not be strong enough.
Strengthen your muscles and alleviate spasms using the Russian Stim program. Russian stimulation is commonly used to assist a muscle in strengthening more quickly following injury or surgery. It uses medium frequencies to provide electrical stimulation to muscle groups and can also be used to reduce muscle spasms, as well as for muscle strengthening. Russian Stimulation is an integral part of rehabilitation and healing for many patients.
