Galvanic current
Galvanic current is a direct current or a medium frequency unipolar current, not modulated. There are no
significant therapeutic differences between this type of current and traditional direct current. However, because
of applying medium frequency current, the unpleasant patient’s sensations during the procedure and the
electrochemical effect are reduced. It should be taken into consideration that set up amplitude, which
determines certain degree of sensation, will be higher than amplitude of traditional direct current, which causes
the same degree of sensation.
With this method of signal generation, it should be taken into consideration that a higher amplitude has to be
set in order to evoke a certain level of patient’s sensation, in comparison to traditional direct current.

Polarization
NOR
For such polarization setting red plug is a
positive electrode, and black plug is a
negative electrode.
REV
For such polarization setting red plug is a
negative electrode and black plug is a
positive electrode. Warning means that
such a setting is the reverse of commonly
accepted way of marking polarity.
