CATEGORY VASCULAR
PROGRAM VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY
WHEN?
In the event of venous insuciency without oedema.
WHY?
To encourage drainage of the deep veins and of the oedema.
HOW?
Encourage venous blood return using a sequenced stimulation starting in the leg
muscles and continuing to the thigh muscles, supporting the distal tetanic contraction
to prevent regurgitation.
PULSE WIDTH
To make it as comfortable as possible for the patient, use pulse widths equivalent to the
chronaxies of the motor nerves of the muscles being stimulated. The mi-SCAN function
can be used to determine the pulse widths suitable for the patient’s muscles.
ELECTRODES
Electrodes positioned according to the specific indication.
INTENSITY
Adjust the stimulation energy in order to produce pronounced but comfortable muscle
contractions. The stimulation energies must be greater on channels 1 and 2 than on
channels 3 and 4.
+TENS
OPTION
No.
NOTE
Take care to properly observe the correct order for switching on the modules, the order
of switching on that corresponds to the numbering of the channels.
This program needs imperatively 4 stimulation channels. Not applicable with Wireless
Professional 2CH.
