Tecar therapy proposed by Astar
EFFECTIVE, SAFE, MODERN
Tecaris -the resistive-capacitive radio frequency current therapy unit
Effectiveness and safety of therapy
Tecaris is a state-of-the-art device designed to carry out professional radiofrequency current treatments. Tecaris is ideal for private medical and physiotherapy offices, hospitals, sports medicine and aesthetic clinics. Check out the possibilities offered by one of the ASTAR’s latest devices.
Wide range of applications
The device can be used to treat conditions in orthopedics, rehabilitation, sports medicine and aesthetic medicine. Tecaris will prove useful, among others, in the therapy of musculoskeletal injuries and trauma, as well as in diseases of the subcutaneous fat tissue.
Treatment modes
Tecaris allows the therapist to perform treatments in resistive or capacitive mode.
In resistive mode, the radiofrequency current produces effects in the deeper layers of tissues, namely bones, tendons or ligaments. This makes it possible to treat fibrosis and tissue degeneration in chronic conditions. In capacitive mode, on the other hand, the therapeutic current primarily affects superficial tissues, namely muscles and the lymphatic system, accelerating cell regeneration or muscle relaxation.
In the two modes, both thermal and non-thermal effects can be obtained, depending on the energy level used and the expected effects of the therapy.
It is also possible to use Tecaris with an optional applicator for a combination of radiofrequency current and the Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) therapy.
Wide selection of compatible applicators and electrodes
The Tecaris device generates sinusoidal radiofrequency alternating current of 300, 500, 750 or 1000 kHz, which is delivered to the patient through direct contact using electrodes and/or special applicators. The device allows the connection of a straight or angled applicator and works with flat resistance electrodes (25, 40, 55 or 70 mm in diameter) and convex (14 or 40 mm in diameter), capacitive (25, 40, 55 or 70 mm in diameter). For soft tissue therapy, the IASTM applicator is dedicated.
Ergonomic design
The Tecaris device is equipped with a modern 7” color display with a touch panel. The clear screen and intuitive interface definitely enhance the working experience. Tecaris can be placed on a Versa X or Versa XUVC trolley, with a dedicated shelf that accommodates the unit and its accessories. The device operates in manual mode, so that the user can independently adjust the treatment parameters: frequency, power or treatment time.
Treatment safety
The self-test procedure implemented in the device, as well as functions responsible for continuous monitoring of output parameters and contact quality during treatment, ensure the safety of the therapy.
TECARIS
TECAR therapy is a modern method with versatile effects.
It allows the use of radiofrequency currents combined with manual therapy, even in the early stages of rehabilitation.
Tecaris
TECAR therapy involves applying radiofrequency currents to tissues through direct contact of electrodes with the patient’s body.
The effect on the human body depends on the selected device mode and the electrical conductivity of the tissues, which determine the depth of energy penetration in the patient’s body.
Tecaris User Manual
The Tecaris device is a modern and intuitive piece of equipment. For even greater user convenience, we have prepared an additional video tutorial that will guide you step by step through its features and operation.
