Benefits for the physiotherapist

Extensive therapeutic possibilities

Tecaris+ is compatible with electrodes of various properties, shapes and sizes. This makes it possible to adapt them to the needs of the patient and the size of the area undergoing therapy. The specific shapes of the electrodes make it easier to target hard-to-reach places.

Passive electrodes are available in two forms – flat and cylindrical. Flat electrodes (24×16 cm and 32×23 cm in size) are flexible and durable, which allows them to be easily adjusted to the patient’s body. They can be wrapped around the limbs, placed on the back or stomach. A polyester layer covering the edges of the electrodes protects the patient from abrasion and ensures the safety of the treatment.

The cylindrical electrode can be held by the patient in their hand during kinesiotherapy. This makes it easier to combine TECAR therapy with exercises. Such a combination provides effective stimulation of tissues with radiofrequency current during active movement. This method supports the regeneration process and accelerates rehabilitation. Integration of exercise therapy with TECAR increases the effectiveness of treatment.

Safety and comfort of use

The Tecaris+ device has a number of features that increase the comfort of the therapist’s work.

The active electrodes are equipped with silicone insulating caps that make it easier to hold the electrode and with an electrode cover that protects the operator from unwanted effects of high-frequency current.

Four types of applicators allow the physiotherapist to adapt the device to individual needs, and magnets placed on their cables help to ensure better organisation of the workstation.

The device allows the operator to select and edit treatment parameters using keys and a knob. In this way, during the treatment, the therapist does not have to touch the screen with hands covered in cream, which could make it difficult to operate the device.

Operation modes

The device allows the therapist to work in several modes:

• CAP mode – capacitive mode, which focuses its action mainly on tissues and areas that are highly hydrated, such as muscles or the lymphatic system,
• RES mode – resistive mode, which affects tissues with high resistance, such as tendons and bones,
• IASTM mode – resistive mode, in which an applicator in the shape of a special tool is used for the therapy and mobilization of soft tissues,
• BIPOLAR mode – resistive mode which uses a dedicated applicator that acts mainly on superficial tissues and allows operation without the need for a separate passive electrode,
• AUTO mode – a mode in which the device actively detects the type of electrode used and directs the current to the applicator, without the need to manually change the operating mode settings in the menu.
