Device Description
The STIMPOD NMS460 is a Low Frequency Neuromodulation Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation device, used for symptomatic relief and management of
chronic intractable pain and/or as and adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain, post traumatic acute pain, as well as and adjunct for pain
control due to rehabilitation.
The STIMPOD NMS460 offers two types of waveforms for the treatment of pain. The first is a Monophasic Square Wave, which is typical of normal TENS machines.
The second waveform is a Hybrid RF waveform which consists of a Monophasic Square Wave with a superimposed Radio Frequency waveform. This waveform is
proprietary and is unique to the STIMPOD NMS460. For more information on the benefits of using this modality please visit www.xavant.com.
