Lausanne, 20 June 2011 – Today Compex®, one of DJO Global’s leading brands in Europe, launches the next generation of electro muscle stimulators for sports professionals: COMPEX Wireless. Twenty-five years after the launch of the original Compex, the sports community enters a revolutionary era of unlimited possibilities (No Limits) in electrostimulation for existing and new electrostimulator users alike.
COMPEX Wireless is the first wireless electro muscle stimulator (EMS) in the world that offers professional, safe and effective muscular contraction while using wireless technology. For current electrostimulation users, this finally takes away the last hurdle for regular, comfortable use. COMPEX Wireless has ‘No Limits’ in time and place of use, in frequency, in performance, in online support and in product design.
“The COMPEX Wireless is a premium product, our response to the growing demand of our users who want to have the benefits of electrostimulation, but with greater convenience and fewer limitations,” says Matteo Morbatti, Compex International Senior Product Manager. “The COMPEX Wireless offers users true freedom of movement and optimal convenience, which automatically leads to more regular use and greater impact.”
COMPEX Wireless optimises ease of use in professional electrostimulation
COMPEX Wireless is very easy to set up since no wires need to be connected to the electrodes. The device provides more comfort and absolute freedom of movement without any risk of getting tangled up in the cables.
What’s more, the 50 COMPEX Wireless programmes are conceived as integrated parts of a training schedule. They are compatible with functional training and allow the combination of voluntary training with electrostimulation. Programmes can be used separately or integrated in an objective to reach a specific goal.
COMPEX Wireless is equipped with a full-colour LCD screen with better visibility, providing an intuitive interface with all the information at hand. Explanatory information on the objectives is directly accessible on the remote screen. The placement of the electrodes can be checked directly on the screen, so there is no need to consult a manual.
The remote is smaller, but the device has the same power and capacity as other Compex appliances. The unique contemporary design of the docking station, remote and modules makes this product a perfect asset to any living room. COMPEX Wireless can be used without any risk of interference with other devices.
COMPEX Wireless brings its unique muscle intelligence™ Technology to a higher level
The unique muscle intelligence™ technology (www.compex.info), developed by Compex and highly appreciated by users, is now installed on each of the four modules. The mi-SCAN function automatically adjusts the electrostimulator settings to the specificities of each of the muscles and allows personalised measurement of the muscle physiology.
COMPEX Wireless connects to the digital world through a personalised web interface
COMPEX Wireless allows downloading of objectives through a web connection. The device offers a web application in which objectives can be selected according to each user’s personal needs. An objective is a protocol of different activities planned to reach a specific goal, like preparing for a marathon, treating your lower back pain, optimising your training, etc. Sportsmen or -women can follow their training plan, keep track of their progress online and select or create their own objectives.
Thirty standardised objectives are available online on the user’s personalised platform (www.compexwireless.com). New objectives can be added or created, based on the user’s needs, which offers unlimited possibilities in terms of goals or disciplines. The list available today will be updated gradually.
