550plus:
The following additional modalities are provided with the Dynatron 850plus (not included
with the Dynatron 550plus):
Dynatron
Interferential Therapy: This traditional therapy, delivered with two channels and
four electrodes, also includes Dynatronics' patented Target feature for easy location
of the treatment site and delivery of the full interferential beat where it is needed.
You can select the high frequency range, the low frequency range, or both, along
with Target. Or select Sweep when you want to deliver the current over a more
general area. You can also customize the frequency settings for individual treatments
or save a unique default setting.
Premodulated Therapy: Ideal for treating areas where four electrode-placement is
not practical, this modality extends the versatility of the device by offering a
premodulated interferential current using one channel and two electrodes.
Biphasic Stimulation: This option provides muscle stimulation using a sinusoidal
biphasic waveform with pulse widths, ranging from 50 to 400 microseconds. It
offers normal, co-contraction and reciprocal contraction modes, selectable on/off
cycle times and ramp times, and customizable pulse rate and pulse width.
Russian Stimulation: With this modality, you can deliver muscle stimulation
treatments selecting from an array of options including normal, co-contraction and
reciprocal contraction, selectable on/off cycle times and ramp times, and
customizable pulse rate and pulse width.
High Voltage Pulsed Stimulation: This traditional electrotherapy modality offers a
pulsed, monopolar current with pulse widths in the microsecond range and pulse rates
ranging from 1 to 200 Hz utilizing a twin-peak monophasic waveform. Polarity,
on/off cycle time, and ramp time are selectable, and pulse rate may be customized for
each treatment. Treatment may be delivered using either electrodes or optional
probes.
Microcurrent Therapy: Microcurrent treatment may be delivered using two
electrodes for unattended therapy, or the optional hand-held probes for manual
treatment. You may select the desired polarity and customize the frequency and
intensity. An audible tone allows you to monitor conductance.
Ultrasound Therapy: The Dynatron 850plus includes Dynatronics' patented multi-
frequency ultrasound capability. Soundheads are available in 1 cm
2
and 10 cm sizes. Each soundhead offers 1, 2, and 3 MHz. (The 1 cm
offers 2 and 3 MHz.) Duty cycle options are 10, 20, or 50 percent, or a continuous
duty cycle.
Combination Therapy - Comboplus™: Dynatronics' new Comboplus feature gives
you almost unlimited options in setting up a combination treatment with the
Dynatron 850plus. Now you can combine an ultrasound treatment with any single-
channel electrotherapy modality provided by this device, including Premodulated,
Biphasic, Russian, High Volt, or Microcurrent. In addition, combination therapy is
850plus & 550plus
