Interferential And Ultrasound Combo Machine - SONOMED® 7s

In physiotherapy, Interferential therapy (IFT) has become a more common form of treatment for musculoskeletal injuries. In IFT electrical stimulation is used to provide relief from pain and inflammation due to spasms, injuries, etc., or to treat conditions like stiffness, circulatory disorders, etc.,  as well as to promote healing. Certain features should be considered while buying interferential therapy equipment so as to get the best possible product for your needs.

Portability is an important feature to consider while buying interferential therapy equipment. If you need it for treating multiple patients or for different locations, then choosing a device that is lightweight and easy to transport can be of great advantage. It is always better to look for devices with adjustable settings so that treatments can be customized according to the patients’ needs. Moreover, it is also important to consider safety features such as over-current protection, patient safety system, built-in timers, etc., so that treatments don't exceed the recommended duration. 

Checking for the availability of accessories such as electrodes and conductive gels is another factor to be taken into account while choosing IFT equipment. Electrodes should be of high quality, with good adhesion properties, and should stay connected during treatment sessions; conductive gels will help ensure good skin contact between the electrode and the patient’s skin. It is an added advantage if the device comes with software that has features like pre-programs, user-settable memory, and auto cutoff when not in contact with skin, etc., as well as allows you to customize treatment protocols for each patient.
