capacitive electrodes
Device particularly suitable for the early treatment of inflammatory diseases, muscle pain and bone and joint diseases. I-TECH.AR is able to exert analgesic and bio-stimulant action, thus speeding up the natural anti-inflammatory and reparative action that the body would implement in longer terms.
Easy mechanism of action: develop energy within the body (endogenous energy). The development of endogenous energy at the level of biological tissues is produced by the reciprocating movement of attraction and repulsion of the electrical charges which, in the form of electrolytes, are the essential constituents of each biological substrate.
Benefits: This technique allows to combine a deep therapeutic action without contraindications such as overheating of the surface or the dispersion of energy in the first layers of the biological tissue.
Capacitive andresistive diathermy
Diathermy, also known as TECAR Therapy (the acronym stands for Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer), is a technique that stimulates the physiological healing process by accelerating the recovery time of motor function.Diathermy stimulates tissues endogenous heat production through the interaction of electromagnetic field and tissue. The heat is produced in a uniform controlled way. The electromagnetic interaction results in a ionic flow and consequently increases blood flow in the treated area. This process stimulates endogenous substances release (in particular cortisol and endorphins) that are indispensable to reduce inflammations, pain and edemas.The new I-TECH.AR resistive/capacitive diathermy is modern and high performance device that is very easy to use even by professional user.Preadjusted programs facilitate the use of device from the start. Moreover the device offers the possibility to set the parameters (power, time therapy, capacitive/resistive modes) according to therapeutic needs.I-TECH.AR is provided with SMART CARD to allow the memorization of customized programs. In this way patient protocols are easily consulted by therapists at any time.I-TECH.AR is equipped with a wide graphic display to show therapy parameters and different working modes. Menu can be easily scrolled by a comfortable control knob.
I-TECH.AR is provided with a conductive cream indicated for diathermic treatment and with the following electrodes:• 2 electrodes 30mm diameter (1 resistive+1 capacitive) with 7.1 cm² effective working area• 2 electrodes 50mm diameter (1 resistive+1 capacitive) with 19.6 cm² effective working area• 2 electrodes 70mm diameter (1 resistive+1 capacitive) with 38.5 cm² effective working area
Auto adhesive and soft plates are available as accessories with the following size:• 217 x 105 mm (active surface 136 cm²)• 150 x 105 mm (active surface 82 cm²)• 88 x 74 mm (active surface 36 cm²)
I-TECH.AR is a medical device CE0476 certificated. The device must be used only by authorized personnel in hospitals and clinics.
Capacitive mode Resistive mode
Electrode coated with ceramic material (mobile) and return plate (fixed). Suitable especially for soft tissues (muscles and lymphatic-vessel system).
Benefits: specificity of the procedure; easy control of the treated area.
Non-insulated electrode (mobile) and return plate (fixed). Specifically suitable for those tissues characterize by the highest resistance (bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage).
Benefits: high levels of endothermy; chronic diseases characterized by fibrosis and degeneration.
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF DIATHERMY
Biochemical Effect:• It re-balances the enzyme disorder of adipocytes• Accelerates the ultra-structural metabolism of cells• Recalls oxygen-rich blood• Speeds blood flow• Facilitates lymphatic drainage from peripheral areas
Mechanical effect:• Increases the rate of fluid flow• Drains the emolymphatic stasis• Tones the vascular walls
Thermal Effect:• For the Joule effect produced by the displacement currents
it induces deep endothermic action evenly diffused.
