Product Overview and Description
SporTX is designed for easy use anywhere, anytime. The battery-powered stimulator is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and light enough to attach to your belt. This portability makes it easy to apply the treatment immediately. People treated with SporTX can heal faster and return to a normal or active lifestyle sooner. SporTX makes sense for immediate results.
The Positive Current Mode Of The SporTX:
The positive mode works similar to ice to constrict blood vessels so patients see and feel improvement quickly.
Reduces Swelling
Helps Prevent Stiffness
Greater Increase Of Range Of Motion
The Negative Current Mode Of SporTX:
The Negative Mode Works Similar To Heat To Dilate Blood Vessels And Promote Better Blood Circulation.
Increases Circulation
Brings Nutrient-rich Blood To The Injured Area's
Draws Fluid Away From Injured Body Tissue
Promotes The Natural Healing Process
SporTX is a versatile stimulator that intervenes quickly and works effectively to promote the natural process of healing from the following injuries:
Acute Ankle Sprain
Acute Knee Sprain
Shoulder Sprain
Elbow Sprain
Shin Splints
Contusions
Muscular Strain
Features And Benefits
Efficiency- with two current modes in one unit, people can be treated for both edema and pain with one device.
Versatility- SporTX is small and compact, easy to wear and easy to use. It works equally well in a clinic or at home.
Push Button Simplicity- only three controls (on, off and PTM) means SporTX is easy for anybody to use.
Programmed Treatment Mode (PTM) - this feature promotes the safe use of direct current by allowing the most efficient dosage of pulsed DC to occur within a 40 minute treatment.
Triphasic Waveform- this unique waveform has a square AC waveform that precedes the DC pulse. It is considered to be more comfortable than a spike waveform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should you use positive or negative polarity to the treatment site?
A: You would use (+) for a new injury or immediately after surgery (within 24-48 hours) if you need to control swelling and reduce pain. You would use (-) for a chronic injury or 24-48 hours following surgery or injury to help dilate blood vessels and promote better blood circulation.
Q: Why do you use the blue button?
A: The blue button is the (PTM) or the programmed treatment mode button. You press this button twice to initiate a 38 minute timed treatment. You can administer 3 to 4 treatments daily by pushing the "blue" button every 4-6 hours. This feature promotes the safe use of direct current by allowing the most efficient dosage of pulsed DC to occur within a 38-minute treatment.
Q: What type of injuries should I use the SporTX for?
A: It works effectively to promote the natural process of healing from the following injuries: acute ankle sprains, acute knee sprains, shoulder sprains, shin splints, contusions and muscular strains and other inflammatory conditions.]
Q: Why does the dispersive electrode need to be 2 times the size of the treatment electrodes?
A: This will help to disperse the stimulation over a larger area making the treatment electrodes(s) more comfortable. The stronger stimulation should be felt over the treatment site.
Indications:
Pulsed Direct Current Stimulation (PDCS) has been used successfully for treatment of chronic, intractable pain or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of acute pain.
Contraindications:
Do not use this device on patients with demand-type cardiac pacemakers.
Do not use on cancer patients. Do not apply stimulation over the carotid sinus. Do not use transcerebrally.
Precautions:
Skin irritation may occur at the site of electrode placement following long term applications. Skin irritation is most likely using programmed PDCS treatments from the galvanic channel.
Precautions should be observed in the presence of the following:
When there is a tendency to hemorrhage following acute trauma or fracture.
Following recent surgical procedures when muscle contraction may disrupt the healing process.
Over the menstruating uterus.
Where sensory nerve damage is present by a loss of normal skin sensation.
Adverse Reactions:
Patients with a history of skin irritation should be monitored while using this device. Improper use of electrodes may result in skin irritation.
Warnings:
This device should be used with caution in undiagnosed pain syndromes until the etiology has been established.
Safe use of PDCS and TENS during pregnancy and delivery has not been established.
Adequate precautions should be taken in the case of persons with suspected heart problems.
Adequate precautions should be taken in the case of persons with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur when the electrodes are positioned over the neck or mouth. The contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
This device should not be used over swollen, infected or inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g. Phlebitis, Thrombo phlebitis, And Varicose veins.
Caution should be used in the transthoracic application of this device in that the introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause arrhythmias.
This device should be kept out of the reach of children. Clinical evidence indicates that TENS is more effective in relieving pain of peripheral rather than central origin.
This device should not be use while operating machinery, driving a motor vehicle or operating power tools is not recommended.
Do not use stimulator in the vicinity of high frequency and microwave radio transmitters including cellular phones, because a sudden increase in intensity may result.
For adjunctive therapy for the treatment of medical diseases and conditions. Electronic monitoring equipment such as ECG monitors and alarms may not operate properly when PDCS or TENS is in process. TENS devices are of no curative value.
