Accessories and Add-ons

The price includes a basic package comprising the device, battery, power charger, stimulation cables, and 2 packs of self-adhesive electrodes. This is sufficient to immediately use the device's basic functions, such as TENS / EMS / microcurrent features. For hygiene reasons, the self-adhesive electrodes are suitable for one person only. If multiple users intend to use the device, each should have their own electrode pack.

Self-adhesive electrodes

The self-adhesive electrode provides the highest quality treatment. However, since its adhesive loses stickiness over time and the gel surface dries out, it wears out and must be replaced. It is like gasoline for a car; it runs out with use and needs refilling.

We offer 3 quality levels of electrodes. Within these, you can choose from two types of connectors (pin and snap), and various sizes and shapes (square, rectangular, oval, round, butterfly).

• ValueTrode: basic electrodes suitable for TENS, EMS, and even microcurrent treatments. They are stiffer, so not recommended for face or neck use.
• Ultrastim: these provide better conductivity than ValueTrode electrodes, making them a better choice for sensitive skin. Excellent for all treatment types, including nerve damage treatment. They are more flexible and thinner than ValueTrode electrodes, though PALS are better still.
• PALS: these electrodes represent the highest quality. They deliver current very evenly, preferred even by those with the most sensitive skin. Recommended for nerve damage cases. Their high flexibility makes them ideal for face, neck, and highly curved surfaces.

Durable electrodes

If you want to avoid repeated purchasing of self-adhesive electrodes, you can buy “non-wearing” accessories separately.

Durable electrodes are mostly made of silicone or carbon. They can be used for pain relief, muscle stimulation, and iontophoresis. These are not usable for microcurrent treatment!

Durable electrodes transmit signals less effectively than self-adhesive electrodes, so treatment effectiveness is lower while unpleasant stinging or burning sensations during treatment are stronger.

If you treat frequently, durable electrodes may be cheaper. If you treat infrequently, self-adhesive electrodes are worth buying.

Rubber electrode

This is a silicone-carbon sheet available in two sizes from us: 5x5 and 5x9 cm. The rubber electrode can be applied directly onto the skin, but its surface must be well moistened. Water may dry quickly due to body heat, so we recommend using contact gel instead. Another option is to purchase it with a sponge cover. The sponge cover should be soaked in water, then the rubber electrode slips into this damp pouch and applied to the skin. Since the electrode does not stick to the skin in either case, it must be secured with adhesive tape or an elastic strap with Velcro.

Elastic strap

The elastic strap is an accessory designed for treating arm or leg muscles. Recommended for use with body shaping treatments. NOT SUITABLE for sports or microcurrent programs. Available in two packages; a set of 2 pairs for thighs and a set of 4 pairs for full limbs. The elastic electrodes are made of a special textile and must be thoroughly moistened before application.

FastBand belt

This is a neoprene belt that enables treatment on 3 channels. The belt can be applied around the waist, treating the back muscles and the lateral bundles of the posterior trunk muscles. If turned to the abdominal side, it delivers impulses to the rectus abdominis and the two lateral transverse abdominals. The belt length is 100 cm, stretches somewhat due to material, and Velcro extensions are available. Together, they can fit up to about 140 cm circumference. Excellent for body shaping treatments and post-pregnancy body recovery. For various types of lower back pain, the UltraStim belt is recommended instead.

Ultrastim belt

A neoprene belt designed for lumbar area treatment. Suitable for treating lower back pain, lumbago, sciatica, and herniated discs. Ultrastim PAD electrodes must be adhered to the electrode surface on the belt's inner side, which then attach to muscles beside the spine.

Y-cable

This accessory allows you to increase the number of channels of your stimulator. Placed at the end of the cables, it “splits” one cable into two. With a 4-channel stimulator, you can thus use up to 16 electrodes. However, this channel division means you need to increase the treatment current to achieve the same effect, resulting in a more uncomfortable treatment. If you don't increase the current, the doubled cable will deliver a weaker treatment effect than without splitting.

Textile electrodes

Five varieties are available: glove, sock, wrist, elbow, and knee electrodes. Primarily suitable for treating polyneuropathy and joint, tendon, or muscle pain with TENS programs. Not suitable for muscle stimulation or microcurrent treatment. Textile electrodes must be soaked thoroughly in water and applied wet. Using dry causes poor current delivery and results in burning, stinging, and discomfort during treatment.

Motor point pencil

This device is recommended for muscle stimulation. It has two main uses: 1) helps identify the motor point, which is where the motor nerve reaches the muscle. Knowing this point is important, as attaching the electrode here achieves the most effective muscle stimulation. 2) For treating small muscles, e.g., facial nerve paralysis, the motor point pencil replaces one self-adhesive electrode, allowing continuous movement between muscles during treatment.

Body cavity probe

This accessory is necessary for incontinence treatment, aimed at improving the condition and function of the pelvic floor sphincter muscles. Types are available for vaginal insertion (PerisPshera O) and anal insertion (PeriProbe Analis).
