TECARVet 4000 Veterinary TECAR Device

Globus TecarVet 4000 – Veterinary TECAR Device (for small animals and horses)

The Globus TecarVet 4000 is a professional TECAR therapy device offering both capacitive and resistive modes, enabling targeted treatment of superficial and deeper tissues. The device operates at a maximum power of 160 W with emission frequencies of 400/470/700/1000 kHz, making it suitable for a broad range of uses—from dog and cat musculoskeletal cases to equine protocols. The large 4.3” touchscreen delivers an intuitive interface; the control panel is programmable and supports multi-user operation.

Why choose the TecarVet 4000?

• Two energy delivery methods (CAP/RES): capacitive head treats skin–connective tissue–surface circulation, while resistive head targets higher resistance deep structures (tendons, ligaments, fascia, periosteal areas)—covering most veterinary physiotherapy needs with a single device.
• High power and multiple frequencies: the 160 W peak power and 400/470/700/1000 kHz frequency range enable flexible dosing in both acute and chronic conditions.
• Professional ergonomics: 4.3” touchscreen, programmability, multi-user mode, and bipolar operation support (standard kit includes monopolar handpieces).
• Comprehensive animal physiotherapy program package: pre-set programs for dogs/cats and horses (edema/hematoma, osteoarthritis – capacitive and resistive variants, acute/chronic muscle contracture, back and lumbar pain, spondylarthrosis; for horses also tendon injuries, trigger points).

Applications (partial list)

• Small animals (dogs, cats): edema/hematoma, osteoarthritis (CAP/RES), acute and chronic muscle contracture, upper back/lumbar acute–chronic pain, spondylarthrosis.
• Horses: targeted treatment of tendon injuries and trigger points in addition to above indications.

The capacitive mode typically affects more superficial tissues (circulation, edema, soft tissue), while the resistive mode is suited for deeper, higher-resistance structures biostimulation—both incorporated in the protocols.

Main features

• Treatment modes: capacitive and resistive; bipolar operation supported.
• Power: 160 W (±20%).
• Emission frequencies: 400 / 470 / 700 / 1000 kHz (±10%).
• Electrodes: capacitive and resistive heads Ø 30 / 50 / 70 mm (3 sizes each type).
• Display: 4.3” touchscreen.
• Power supply: mains (100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz, 1.8 A).
• Dimensions / weight: 170 × 220 × 60 mm, 1100 g.
• Special functions: programmable, multi-user.

Mechanism of action – how does it bring rapid improvement?

TECAR therapy generates endogenous heat in the target area, inducing vasodilation, increased lymphatic flow, boosted metabolism and regeneration.

The capacitive mode is effective in resolving superficial soft tissues (edema, muscle tone disorders, circulation support); the resistive mode aids biostimulation of deeper and denser structures (tendons, ligaments, fascia).

Pre-programmed protocols leverage these differences, enabling treatments to be quickly set up and deliver consistent results.

Recommended for:

• Small animal clinics, equine veterinary practices, veterinary physiotherapists needing a high power, versatile TECAR solution for various tissue depths and indications.
• Rehabilitation centers valuing programmability, multi-user functionality, and a wide electrode selection.

Comparison: TecarVet 4000 vs. TecarVet 2000

• Power and frequency: 4000: 160 W, 400–1000 kHz (4 frequencies) ⇄ 2000: 50 W, 470 kHz.
• Modes: 4000: capacitive + resistive ⇄ 2000: resistive (with special bipolar handpiece).
• Display and controls: 4000: 4.3” touchscreen, programmable, multi-user ⇄ 2000: 2.6” backlit display, 2+2 modes.

The 4000 model therefore offers a wider therapeutic spectrum and greater power, while the 2000 is designed for maximum portability and simple, fast resistive treatments.

Safety and usage recommendations

The TecarVet 4000 is a medical, professional device. Specific protocols (mode, head diameter, power, duration, frequency) should always be chosen based on the diagnosis and the manufacturer's instructions, under veterinary supervision. Contraindications and precautions are detailed in the device's documentation.
