GENERAL INFORMATION
IONO BASE PLUS
is a unit producing galvanic current, so it is suitable for
galvanization, galvanic bath and medicinal ionophoretic administration, designed and
manufactured for outpatient and home applications.
Unit has two channels completely divided, able to supply the maximum current (or
galvanic) of 20mA, with regulation and visualization by single step display.
The effect shown during the galvanic current passage is an heating localized at the
treated zone. This effect is caused by the transformation of a part of electric energy in
Joule effect and it is proportional to the current intensity delivered for the supply time.
To the Joule effect is associated a fast antalgic action that continues more than
treatment time.
Galvanic current has also the property of extraction of water molecules from
aedematous tissues through the electro-osmosis.
Classic use of galvanic current is called medicinal ionophoresis, for the local drugs
administration.
Good results of the ionophoretic treatment depend:
–
from drug purity and from absence of unwanted ions. It is recommended to
use distilled water for water dilutions.
–
from cleaning of treated surfaces.
–
from correct polarity of electrodes: positive ions go to neagative polarity and
vice versa.
–
from the current intensity that it shall be so that the patient feels a little
tingling sensation, but not a noise sensation.
–
from the concentration of medicinal solution.
