The RS-TENS Plus Electro-therapy Unit - E0730
$250.00

The RS-TENS Plus is a two-channel transcutaneous electrotherapy device designed to stimulate specific sensory nerve fibers and suppress the sensation of pain. TENS therapy uses low frequency electrical current to treat acute and chronic pain by stimulating sensory nerves and suppressing the sensation of pain. TENS devices may be worn and used continuously. TENS therapy is a proven, cost-effective, non-invasive and non-habit forming modality for relieving pain. Physicians integrate the device into treatment plans for relief of chronic and intractable pain and for management of post-surgical pain. Since it's compact and easy-to-use at home, patients can fit TENS therapy into their daily routines. Frequency and impulse can be adjusted to patient need With the RS-TENS Plus, patients can control the intensity of their own treatments, increasing or decreasing intensity based on their need to relieve pain. For more sensitive patients, setting a higher frequency and lower impulse will gently and gradually relieve pain during a 20 to 30 minute treatment. Patients experiencing mild pain can use a higher frequency and higher impulse to produce a pain-inhibiting effect almost immediately. Device is flexible and safe. The RS-TENS Plus's two independently-controlled channels operate four pads enabling physicians to treat a range of body areas. Patients receive personal instruction and a manual with the device, and its safety features ensure correct

SPronex Pneumatic Cervical Traction - E0855
$350.00

Pronex is an easy to use cervical traction treatment patients can take in the comfort of their home. It helps patients successfully manage their cervical condition by relieving pain, reducing muscle spasm and decompressing spinal structures. Pronex is the only traction device that uses a bellows technology to provide a gentle, even distraction of the cervical spine. The Pronex design supports the natural curve of the cervical spine and provides two unique design advantages: Inline and counter traction. This combination creates an even distraction in the anterior and posterior cervical discs providing a better over all treatment. Additionally, because traction force is created by pressure applied to the occiput and the trapezius muscles there is no strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Pronex cradles the head and neck on two soft foam cushions. One cushion supports the back of the head and the other rests against the top of the shoulders. An air-inflated bellows between the foam cushions provides up to 35 lbs of continuously adjustable traction. As the bellows expands, the patients head moves upward and supports the cervical curve, maintaining an even force that creates space between the cervical vertebrae. Patients have total control over the amount of traction applied. Squeezing the single-hand inflator bulb increases the pressure; a release knob gently reduces it. While Pronex offers the advantage of inline traction, lateral neck flexion of 15 and 22 degrees can also be obtained by utilizing the flexion wedge. Pronex is portable, comfortable and convenient. There is no assembly, no weights, no cables, no springs or levers. It is also restraint free. All of these features combine to encourage regular use by the patient at home, helping to break the chronic pain cycle.
