Description

Chattanooga Continuum Unit – 2600-KIT – The Chattanooga Continuum is a portable 2 channel stimulator used by therapists in clinics and patients at home to provide electrical stimulation treatments in pain management (TENS) and neuro muscular stimulation (EMS/NMES).

THIS UNIT COMES STANDARD WITH:

• Carry Case
• Lead wires
• Hand Switch
• Manual for unit
• Batteries

 

**WE RECOMMEND BUYING ELECTRODES, DUE TO THE UNIT NOT HAVING THEM IN THE SET PER MANUFACTURING. **

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, or 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
