FEATURES:

• Unlike most other Diathermy devices which take 5-6 minutes to heat up, the TheraTouch DX2 heats up on average in less than 45 seconds!

Why? Because it features patented H.E.A.T. technology (High Efficiency Auto Tuning). The resonant auto-tuning technology continually adjusts to provide consistent coupling, based on calculations of the patient’s impedence, size, and body density. This ensures maximum energy transmission, without resorting to a higher dosage, resulting in faster heating and shorter treatment times. The result: patients are able to get in and out the door much quicker after getting the therapy they need. Benefits both the patient and the clinician!

• Traditional diathermy units provide a dosimetric scale categorized by four doses:
  
  • DOSE I - Sub-Thermal (5W)
  • DOSE II - Mild Heat (12W)
  • DOSE III - Low Heat (24W)
  • DOSE IV - Vigorous Heat (48W)

The heating effect from Dose IV can oftentimes be uncomfortable due to the much stronger heat applied to less muscle mass and/or the thinness of the skin, such as with geriatric patients. To better meet the needs of these patients, Richmar's exclusive new Scientific Dosage Control (SDC) provides two additional increments of heating to Dose III:

• • DOSE III SDC M - Moderate Heat (30W)
  • DOSE III SDC H - High Heat (36W)

The unique parameters included in Richmar’s Scientific Dosage Control allows for an increased thermal effect with decreased risk, and greater therapeutic flexibility.
