BodyMed Digital Galvanic Stimulation Unit

BodyMed Digital Galvanic Stimulation Unit

Galvanic stimulation (GS):

Galvanic stimulation is most useful in acute injuries associated with major tissue trauma with bleeding or swelling.

In contrast to TENS and IFC units, which apply alternating current, galvanic stimulators apply direct current.

Direct current creates an electrical field over the treated area that, theoretically, changes blood flow.

The positive pad behaves like ice, causing reduced circulation to the area under the pad and reduction in swelling.

The negative pad behaves like heat, causing increased circulation, reportedly speeding healing.

FEATURES:

Slide cover over controls.

Single channel.

Two active outputs and one dispersive return.

Adjustable, 0 - 350 volts maximum output (500 ohm load).

1 Hz - 120 Hz (1 Hz/step) adjustable pulse rate.

5 us pulse duration.

100 us interpulse interval.

By changing mode to A mode, output will reset to zero, then ramp up to its original setting intensity to protect user from a sudden charge.

LCD shows modes, pulse rate and low battery.

Patient compliance meter shows treatment time in hours.

Patient lock system prevents user from changing fixed parameters set by physician or licensed practitioner.

Two modes include continuous and alternating.

Twin, peaked, monophasic waveform with fixed interval of 120 us.

108 mm x 61.75 mm x 25 mm.

Includes 9-volt battery, AC adapter, two lead wires, one pack (4) electrodes, manual and carrying case.
