5 Therapy with Stimulation Current
Introduction to stimulation current therapy (ref. no. 00625).
5.5 Therapy Using Low-Frequency Current Modes
5.5.1 Monophase and Biphase Currents
The majority of low-frequency current modes for pain therapy, circulatory stimulation, detonisation and
mobilization can be applied in their basic monophase as well as biphase mode. If this option exists, the fol-
lowing selection is displayed in the menu of the respective current mode:
Switching from monophase to biphase pulse emission
Monophase current modes resemble direct current, i.e. every electrode has a defined polarity:
•
+ = Anode (low-stimulation electrode), red connector
•
- = Cathode (high-stimulation electrode), blue connector
Biphase current modes, however, have a continually alternating polarity, called Non-Polarity. The stimula-
tion intensity of both electrodes is identical.
Many current modes are preferably applied in biphase mode, as you can reduce the danger of burns even
at high doses. Biphase currents have a better tolerance, which has special significance for the treatment of
sensitive patients.
The following current modes allow you to switch between monophase and biphase pulse output:
•
(UR) Ultra Stimulation Current
•
(HV) High-Voltage Current
•
(TENS) Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation
•
(MENS) Electric Nerve Stimulation with Microcurrent
•
(IG30) Pulse Galvanization 30
•
(IG50) Pulse Galvanization 50
•
(FaS) Faradic Surge Current
•
(FM) Frequency-Modulated Current
•
(STOCH) Stochastic Current
•
(T/R) Pulses with Adjustable Parameters
5.5.2 Iontophoresis
The iontophoresis features the percutaneous diffusion of medicaments or therapeutic ointments into the
body when using galvanic current.
