Chattanooga Continuum 2600-KIT Portable TENS & NMES Unit

The Chattanooga Continuum 2600-KIT brings two electrotherapy modalities together in a portable, dual-channel stimulator. Designed for therapists in clinical settings and patients following a prescribed home program, Continuum provides TENS for pain management and NMES for muscle stimulation. Its combination of independent channels, programmable settings, and portable accessories supports treatment plans that address both pain and muscle activation.

Independent Channels for Flexible Treatment

Continuum’s 1+1 function allows each channel to operate independently. Clinicians can select the same program on both channels or use two different programs simultaneously. This flexibility allows TENS and NMES to be incorporated into the same treatment session when clinically appropriate, rather than limiting both channels to an identical program.

Preset Programs and Customizable Settings

The unit offers 13 preset programs, along with customizable regimens for individualized treatment. Adjustable parameters include treatment duration, pulse rate, pulse width, stimulation cycling, and ramp times. Symmetrical and asymmetrical waveform options provide additional flexibility when configuring therapy.

These controls allow a clinician to tailor stimulation to the patient’s treatment goals rather than relying exclusively on fixed settings.

Portable Design for Clinic and Home Use

Powered by two AA batteries, the Chattanooga Continuum does not require a wall outlet during treatment. Its belt clip allows the device to attach to a belt or waistband, while the built-in kickstand supports tabletop positioning. The included transportation pouch provides a convenient way to carry the unit between appointments and prescribed home sessions.

Hand Switch and Optional Heel Switch

The included hand switch allows the clinician or patient to trigger stimulation remotely. An optional heel/foot switch, part number 2645, can also trigger muscle stimulation for appropriate clinician-directed applications. The heel/foot switch is an additional accessory and is not included in the 2600-KIT.

Applications in Rehabilitation and Pain Management

Continuum’s NMES indications include muscle reeducation, helping retard or prevent disuse atrophy, relaxation of muscle spasms, and maintaining or increasing range of motion. Its TENS indications include management of chronic, intractable pain and adjunctive treatment of acute pain following surgery or trauma.

A qualified practitioner should determine the appropriate modality, electrode placement, and treatment parameters for each patient.

The Continuum Unit KIT DOES NOT include electrodes. They need to be purchased separately.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is an electrotherapy modality widely used for pain relief. It involves the application of low-voltage electrical currents to the skin via electrodes. This non-invasive technique aims to stimulate nerve fibers and block pain signals, providing temporary relief. TENS has been shown to be effective in managing various types of acute and chronic pain, making it a valuable option in pain management strategies.

NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation), is an effective electrotherapy modality for pain relief. By delivering electrical impulses to targeted muscles, NMES promotes muscle contraction and increases blood flow. This stimulation helps alleviate pain by reducing muscle spasms and activating endorphins, providing patients with a non-invasive and drug-free approach to managing their pain.

Whether looking to strengthen muscles to help prevent injury, or during recovery following trauma or surgery, clinicians and their patients can experience improved results by incorporating The Chattanooga Continuum into their treatment.

Along with its portability, the Device’s optional remote switches make it suitable for functional rehabilitation and by combining TENS with NMES, users can simultaneously help manage pain and enhance exercise, thereby short cutting the traditional muscle recovery cycle.

Factor in a choice of program options including customizable waveform, and you have a highly versatile and user-friendly rehabilitation tool that can help deliver optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Continuum’s ability to combine TENS and NMES in a single treatment can help patients to reduce debilitating pain, whilst helping to boost the effectiveness of their exercise. This function makes Continuum a powerful ally during the struggle to return to fitness following injury or surgery.

• 1+1 Function: Continuum features 2 separate channels that can be managed independently. Users can select either the same program on both channels, and 2 different programs to be used simultaneously

• Individually tailorable:
Continuum has 13 pre-programmed and 2 custom regimens for NMES and TENS.
Modify treatment time, waveform type (Symmetrical or Asymmetrical), pulse rates and durations (widths), cycling type, off times, channel ramp times, and on time.

• Generating a strong contraction: Continuum uses balanced waveforms that deliver muscle stimulation that is powerful whilst remaining comfortable.

• Hand switch: The handheld remote trigger can be used to easily activate stimulation, either by the clinician at a distance, or by the patient.

• Heel switch: When placed inside the user’s shoe, this optional heel switch can be used to trigger muscle stimulation.

• Belt clip: A simple belt clip that fits over a belt or waistband

• Kick stand: Built-in, pull-out kick stand

• Battery powered: Continuum runs on a pair of standard AA batteries
