Triathlon Pro 4-Channel TENS/EMS/MCR Device

Triathlon Pro: multifunctional electrotherapy device with TENS | EMS | MENS | MCR | FES | Iontophoresis programs

The device's hundreds of programs can aid in the treatment, improvement, healing, or prevention of thousands of issues.

• Disease treatment: Pain relief, muscle condition improvement, anti-inflammatory effect, circulation improvement, edema reduction, deep delivery of active substances, incontinence treatment, post-surgery and disease rehabilitation
• Programs supporting sports preparation and muscle regeneration, injury treatment and prevention
• Body shaping and fitness programs. Supports weight loss and post-pregnancy body recovery.
• Beauty care through muscle condition improvement and enhancing skin elasticity. Professional microcurrent skin care programs.

Treatment types

The device is multifunctional, offering several types of electrical treatments. Each method is applicable for different problems.

TENS

TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is mainly suitable for pain relief of musculoskeletal origin. It can also be used for menstrual pain and to a lesser extent for cancer-related pain reduction.

EMS or NMES

Electrical muscle stimulation is referred to as EMS or NMES in medical practice. It is used for muscle-related problems. The main application areas include muscle stiffness, muscle wasting, slowing down muscle strength and mass loss, improving blood circulation, and reducing muscle pain. Used pre-surgery preparation for musculoskeletal operations to improve surgical outcomes and as an essential part of post-surgical rehabilitation.

FES

FES or functional electrical stimulation is often designated as a standalone treatment mode. In reality, it's also muscle stimulation done to restore some lost functions.

A few days after central paralysis (in fortunate cases), muscles partially regain their ability to move but become clumsy and weak. Muscle stimulation aimed at regaining strength and relearning movement is functional stimulation.

MENS or MCR

Microcurrent is an extremely mild current (for example, the current of TENS or muscle stimulation is about a thousand times stronger).

Microcurrent can be used for pain relief (called MENS, microcurrent nerve stimulation) or healing (called MCR).

Microcurrent accelerates healing of inflammatory processes (including tendonitis, arthritis, arthrosis, etc.). It reduces edema, making it useful for acute treatment of herniated discs, lumbago, sciatica, and other root symptoms. It speeds up healing of injuries, wounds, muscle tears, and more.

Microcurrent stimulates collagen production and thus wound and scar healing - this is also usable in beauty care, effective in restoring skin elasticity and wrinkle treatment.

Iontophoresis

Iontophoresis is a useful current type in treating joint inflammations and sports injuries. It allows delivering a (water-soluble, electrically charged) medicine directly to the problematic body part through the skin, avoiding the digestive system. This is its advantage. For example, in an ankle injury, oral medications reach all parts of the body but only a minimal amount reaches the ankle, whereas iontophoresis helps provide more medication to the ankle and less to other parts.

Useful functions

Function	Details
	LAST 10 function: The device stores the last 10 executed programs. They can be quickly and easily selected and started from the list.
	AUTO STIM function Allows automatic execution of a program without adjusting intensity. The intensity is set based on the last execution of the given program. AUTO STIM function can only be used for TENS and EMS programs saved in the "Last 10" memory.
	Run Time function Allows modification of main parameters of a running program after it has started: treatment time, frequency, pulse duration. Pressing the Function button opens modification options.
	Favorite programs Allows saving the most used programs in memory (max. 15 per user) for quick start.
	STIM LOCK function Allows locking programs saved in the Treatments menu. Important for lending the device to patients who must perform only the therapist's "locked" program (while other programs remain disabled).
	Create your own program Allows creation and modification of new programs (15 total), making the device highly flexible and customizable to individual needs.
	2+2 mode Allows simultaneous execution of two different programs (EMS or TENS). Thus, two patients or two muscle groups can be treated simultaneously. Programming of channels 1-2 and 3-4 can be separated.
	Multiuser Allows the device to be used by multiple users with personalized settings. To access Favorites and Last 10 functions, the user must log into their own profile. Up to 10 users' treatment plans can be configured.

Contraindications of electrical treatment

Electrotherapy treatments (TENS, EMS, MENS, FES, ETS, CES, microcurrent, iontophoresis, denervated, selective current, Kotz, interferential, etc.) are safe and free of side effects.

Only a few conditions are considered contraindications.

Currently, ANY electrotherapy treatment is FORBIDDEN for patients with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. Other conditions are not absolute contraindications; benefits and risks should be weighed by the attending physician.

A common misconception is that electrotherapy devices cannot be used in cases of metal implants, prostheses, bone plates, screws. This is an outdated notion. Read Dr. Zátrok Zsolt's article on the relationship between implants and electrical treatment Click here.
