INF4160 PLUS Inferential TENS device
The INF 4160 Plus is a portable interferential device, which can be used for non-invasive pain management, muscle stimulation and to promote gut motility.
INF 4160 Plus Interferential produces a low frequency current treatment that uses two medium frequency currents, which "interfere" with each other to produce a beat frequency that the body recognizes as a low frequency energy source. The actual stimulation is produced by crossing two alternating currents with medium frequencies simultaneously to a targeted body region. As a result, these two currents will superimpose to form a new low frequency current deep within the tissue.
A ‘base’ 4000 Hz carrier frequency is intercepted by a ‘beat’ frequency of between 2-160Hz, essentially cancelling the 4000Hz and delivering treatment within the 2-160Hz range. This allows easy, pain-free delivery deeper into the tissues as the base frequency overcomes skin resistance, unlike TENS in which skin sensation can be a limiting factor in current delivery.
For pelvic health conditions, interferential is most often used in the treatment of slow transit constipation (STC)*
Electrodes placed on the abdomen and back, direct the current through the abdomen to the colon to help promote motility.
Your health professional will provide individual protocol for use for STC
Interferential therapy can also be used to:
- stimulate muscle contraction
- treat conditions where inflammation is a problem such as:
- back pain
- osteoarthritis
- rheumatoid arthritis
- muscular pain / strain
- sports injuries
NEW features of INF4160 Plus (compared to INF4160)
- can now operate directly from mains electricity (using the powerpack) or with batteries
- now has 4 x AA external replaceable batteries, (not rechargeable)
- Can be used with rechargeable batteries
- timer function for programs from 15-60 min
- programs can be locked
What you get:
The INF 4160 Plus comes with
- A carry bag
- 1x set of 4 electrode pads (40x40)
- 1x connection wires
- 1x power pack
- a manual explaining the different frequencies and how they work
*Please note if you are going to be using the machine for STC you will need to purchase 40mm x 90mm electrodes separately.
