30 Day Satisfaction Policy

A multi specialist Stimulator for Healthcare Professionals incorporating latest technology with effective high quality treatments.

 

Mi Muscle Intelligence:

Unique Technology enables the Compex 3 to talk to and analyse muscles, automatically adjusting stimulation parameters to each patients physical characteristics, ensuring effective treatment

This small sensor links the Stimulator to the electrodes
and measures physiological charactistics of the muscle to be stimulated
It transfers this data to the Stimulator and analyzes the data, adjusting the stimulation parameters accordingly

Compex 3 comes complete with 4 Mi Sensors

4 different Scans for 4 different Muscle Groups
can be taken per session

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Mi has 4 Functions:

 

Just before each session the Mi Scan analyzes the muscles to be stimulated (12 sec) and sends this data to the Stimulator which adjusts the Stimulator's parameters to the excitability (sensitivity) of this area of your body ensuring optimal stimulation  



(combine active exercise with electro-stimulation): 
The Action mode allows the patient to trigger an electrically induced stimulation by voluntarily contracting their muscles

Mi-ACTION
Abdominal Muscles

Stimulation Positions:
Lie down stretched out on your back, which can be slightly raised.

To Trigger Electrical Stimulation:
Strongly contract your abdominal muscles, whilst raising your head and shoulders from their support

 

Mi-ACTION Benefits:

  • Optimize performance by combining voluntary and electrical stimulation exercises which together stimulate the muscular fibres more intensively
  • These programs require active participation ensuring patients become fully involved in session
  • Helps to re-tone the body and facilitate motor re-education in patients with neuromuscular disorders

 

(self regulating pain therapy): 
This function takes measurements regularly during Modulated TeNS, Epicondylitis and Arthralgia programs, and automatically controls stimulation to avoid unwanted muscle contractions ensuring your patients receive comfortable effective treatments

 

(controlling energy): 
For low frequency programs (less than 10 hertz) where vigorous muscular  twitches are required - e.g. reduced swelling of feet and ankles.

The Mi range function checks you are in the ideal intensity range to ensure optimum results.

Assessment Precision: Intelligence TeNS Ti
Ti-TENS (sensitivity is assessed):
 
Assessing the sensitivity level allows you to select the appropriate treatment, Compex 3 helps you to determine the sensitivity level before starting a Gate control type session tailored to each patient.

Compex 3 will also help you manage your daily treatment plans and monitor patients

 

 Docking Station:
  - Links your Compex 3 to your computer
  - Recharges your Stimulator

 

Patient Interface Software:
Has 3 Main Features:

  1. Patient List: Create your patient list on your computer; You can also assign individual patient treatments;  Transfer this data in seconds to the Compex 3
  2. Patient History: All treatments performed on a patient are recorded by the Stimulator for transfer to the patients history stored on your computer
  3. Create your own Treatment Programs: You can access all electrotherapy parameters to create a personalised program which can be transferred to the Stimulator and used like any other program

Compex 3 Designed for Treatment

   

Specific

Direct Current

Iontophoresis

Method of introducing a medicine into the body via an electric field

Hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating in specific areas or over the whole body. Treatment can obtain lasting remission up to 6 months after 10 sessions

Oedema

Abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin or in one of more cavities of the body. The use of interrupted direct current can reduce post-traumatic oedema in 3 to 4 days

Denervated

Total Automatic

Total or Partial loss of muscle motor functions.

Partial Automatic

4 Programs to help you determine if denervation is total or partial

Total Manual

For partial denervation Compex 3 performs an automatic ramp search

Partial Manual

Agonist/Antagonist

Atrophy 1/1

4 Programs that enable dynamic work by mobilizing one limb segment in one direction and then in the other, thereby working the entire range of motion. 
For Muscular Athrophy, Reinforcement.

Reinforcement 1/1

Atrophy 2

Reinforcement 2/1

Incontinence Female
4 Programs (all Bipolar Mode with Vaginal Probe)

Stress Incontinence

The aim of this program is to strengthen the sphincter muscle of the bladder

Urge Incontinence

This program stimulates an inhibitory reflex from sensory nerve ending in the perineal area

Mixed/Urge/Stress

This program treats both apsects of this form of incontinence at the same time

Postartum

Labour causes considerable trauma to the pelvic region. Pelvic retraining by neuromuscular electro-stimulation is recommended

Spasticity

Hemiplegic Foot

Disorder of the central nervous system in which certain muscles continually receive a message to tighten and contract.
Hemiplegia: Paralysis effecting one side of the body

Spasticity

Shoulder Subluxation

Haemophilia
(Hereditary disorder usually affecting males in which blood does not clot)

Haemophilia Disuse Atrophy

Imposes a considerable workload on an atrophied muscle in order to recover its volume.

Haemophilia Muscular Reinforcement

Used after disused atrophy treatment. Once satisfactory volume has been attained, to increase/reinforce muscle power.

Aesthetic (Body Image)
As a result of sedentary life styles/poorly balanced diets, the muscles which are not used much loose their qualities - loss of strength, reduced tone, slackness, with clear consequences on body shape.
9 Programs designed to restore and maintain a firm/shapely body, and toned skin.

Muscle Tone

a

Muscle Firming

a

Shaping

a

Refinement

Specifically to work on waist and rolls of fat

Abs

To reduce your waist and tone up your abdominal belt

Buttocks

Improve firmness and shape

Elasticity

Improve circulation and skin elasticity

Calorilysis

Common

Rehabilitation
Compex Rehabilitation Programs are internationally recognised as an effective treatment method particularly when combined with professionally supervised active training of Mobility, Strength, Co-ordination and Functional Training

Prevention of Disuse Atrophy

After an operation or bone fracture, a limb or a section is immobilized. The muscles of this part of the body suffer from disuse atrophy

Treatment of Disuse Atrophy

For innervated muscle after a long period of imkobilization or diminished movement

Muscular Reinforcement

Increase strength of a muscle previously atrophied

Hip Prosthesis

Re-education of the buttocks of those who have been operated on or hip prosthesis

Patella Syndrome

Sublaxation of kneecap. Program for re-education of the quadriceps

Rotator Cuff

Shoulder: Restore range of movement

ACL

Anterior Cruciate Ligament of the knee

Muscle Lesion

Program is designed to stimulate themuscles very gradually to speed recovery

N.B. Combine Therapeutic Effects:
When working with Atrophy or Reinforcement you need to work at maximum tolerance intensity.
In many situations a painful symptom affects the region near the muscle group to be stimulated
The Compex 3 allows you to combine treatments: Channels 1-2 Atrophy/Reinforcement; 3-4 TeNS
The Analgesic effect of TeNS will allow you to work at the correct intensity level.

Analgesic Pain Relief
Range of TeNS methods. Allows you to target the type of pain you wish to treat

TeNS

First choice for both acute and long term pain. Gate control electro stimulation blocks transmission of pain by the nervous system

Modulated TeNS

Constant variation of stimulation parameters help avoid tolerance phenomenon

Endorphins

Analgesic action through the release of endorphins. Stimulation produces muscle twitches at low frequencies

Decontracture

Reduce muscle tension with muscular twitches produced by very low frequency stimulation

Cervical Pain

Combines analgesic action by releasing endorphins and a increased blood flow specifically for neck pain

Thoracic Back Pain

Below the back of the neck and above the low back

Low Back Pain

For sharp and sudden pain Lumber region

Lumbosciatica

For low back pain and irradiating pain - buttock, thigh, leg to foot

Lumbago

For acute sudden pain - lower back

Epicondylitis

Persistent elbow pain

Tortcollis

Acute sudden pain - back of the neck

Arthralgia

Persistent joint pain - arthritis & rheumatism
