Combination 860

Introduction
The Primo Combination 860 provides 1 and 3 MHz ultrasound and a
complete range of low and medium frequency waveforms for
electrotherapy. Both modalities may be used individually or in combination.
Indications for use
Therapeutic ultrasound may be applied to a wide range of conditions with
successful outcomes. These include acute and subacute traumatic and
inflammatory conditions, chronic rheumatoid and arthritic conditions, scar
and excessive fibrous tissue and for pain relief.
Ultrasound may also be used for phonophoresis – the movement of drugs
through the skin under the influence of ultrasound. Some drugs are
absorbed through the skin very slowly and ultrasound may be used to
accelerate the process.
The Primo Combination 860 unit also provides 4 pole and 2 pole
interferential therapy as well as a wide range of other electrical stimulation
waveforms.
Therapeutic voltage and current waveforms may be applied to a wide range
of conditions with successful outcomes. These include acute and subacute
traumatic and inflammatory conditions, chronic rheumatoid and arthritic
conditions, and for pain relief.
Combination therapy involves the simultaneous application of ultrasound
with an electrical stimulation therapy.
By combining ultrasound with interferential therapy, the advantages and
effects of each treatment modality can be realised - but lower intensities
are used to achieve the effect. The accommodation effects that normally
accompany interferential therapy are reduced (or even
eliminated). The main advantages of such a combination are in localising
lesions (especially chronic), in ensuring accurate localisation
of ultrasound
treatment to provide increased accuracy / effectiveness in treating deeper
lesions, and in treating trigger points.
Galvanic output may also be used for iontophoresis – the movement of
drugs through the skin under the influence of a steady electrical voltage.
Some drugs are absorbed through the skin very slowly and iontophoresis
may be used to accelerate the process.
