The Champion TENS/EMS/MCR device 4 channels

The Champion: multifunctional electrotherapy device with TENS | EMS | MENS | MCR | FES | Iontophoresis programs

The device's hundreds of programs can help in treating, improving, healing, or preventing countless issues.

• Disease treatment: pain relief, muscle condition improvement, anti-inflammatory, circulation improvement, edema reduction, deep delivery of active substances, post-surgery or disease rehabilitation
• Programs supporting sports preparation and muscle regeneration, injury treatment and prevention
• Body shaping and fitness programs. Support for weight loss and postpartum body recovery.
• Beauty care by improving muscle condition and skin elasticity. Professional microcurrent skin care programs.

Treatment types

The device is multifunctional, providing several types of electrical therapies. Each treatment type addresses different problems.

TENS

TENS, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is mainly suitable for relieving musculoskeletal pain. It can also be used for menstrual pain and, to a lesser extent, cancer pain relief.

EMS or NMES

Electrical muscle stimulation, abbreviated EMS or NMES in medical practice, is for muscle-related issues. Main applications include muscle stiffness, atrophy, slowing strength and muscle mass loss, improving blood circulation, and reducing muscle pain. It enhances surgical results when used preoperatively and is an essential complement during rehabilitation.

FES

FES, or functional electrical stimulation, is considered an independent treatment mode. It is a form of muscle stimulation aimed at recovering lost functions.

After central paralysis, muscles may recover some movement within days but become weak and clumsy. FES helps regain strength and relearn movement.

MENS or MCR

Microcurrent is an extremely mild current (about a thousand times weaker than TENS or muscle stimulation currents).

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

It accelerates healing of inflammatory processes like tendinitis, arthritis, arthrosis, etc. It reduces edema and is useful for acute treatments of herniated disc, lumbago, sciatica, and other radicular symptoms. It speeds healing of injuries, wounds, muscle tears, etc.

Microcurrent promotes collagen production aiding wound and scar healing, and is effective in beauty treatments for restoring skin elasticity and wrinkle treatment.

Iontophoresis

Iontophoresis is beneficial for treating joint inflammations and sports injuries. It delivers a (water-soluble, electrically charged) drug directly through the skin to the affected area, bypassing the digestive system. For example, oral medication for an ankle injury spreads throughout the body with only a minimal amount reaching the ankle, whereas iontophoresis delivers more drug to the ankle and less elsewhere.

Useful functions

Function	Details
	LAST 10 function: The device stores the last 10 executed programs, allowing quick and easy selection and start from the list.
	AUTO STIM function Allows automatic execution of a program without intensity adjustment. The intensity is set based on the program's last execution. AUTO STIM works only with TENS and EMS programs in the "Last 10" memory.
	Run Time function After starting a program, it's possible to modify main parameters like therapy time, frequency, pulse duration. Pressing the Function button allows adjustment.
	Favorite programs Enables saving the most used programs (up to 15 per user) in memory for quick access.
	STIM LOCK function Allows locking programs saved in the Treatments menu. Important when lending to patients who must only use a "locked" therapist-approved program.
	Create own program Allows creating and modifying up to 15 new programs, making the device highly flexible and customizable.
	2+2 mode Enables simultaneous execution of two different programs (EMS or TENS). Thus, two patients or two muscle groups can be treated simultaneously. Channel groups 1-2 and 3-4 can be programmed separately.
	Multiuser Enables multiple users to have personalized usage of the device. Access to Favorites and Last10 requires user profile login, allowing up to 10 users to have individual treatment plans.

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.

There are very few conditions classified as contraindications.

According to current stance, ANY electrotherapy treatment is FORBIDDEN for patients with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. Other conditions are not exclusion factors, but the application should be weighed for pros and cons by the treating physician.
