Indications for the use of ionophoresis
This program uses a low-intensity and continuous current (between 5 and 10 mA)
that helps the absorption of the active ingredients of a drug in a specific area of the
body. It is often required that a drug is administered directly on the area that needs
to be healed, avoiding an oral or intravenous administration. With ionophoresis it is
possible to administrate a drug through transcutaneous penetration directly on the
body area that needs to be treated.
The drug must be prepared in ionic form and must have an electric charge. The
principle on which ionophoresis is that the continuous current flows through skin from
one electrode to the other (from anode to cathode) consequentially transporting
the electrically charged iones that are inside the treated body area.
In practice, sponges soaked in a solution containing the active ingredient are used,
bearing in mind that if it has a negative charge, it must be applied to the negative
electrode
Please note that, in the cables supplied, the white output corresponds to the positive
pole and the red to the negative pole and to use only channel 1 of the device. The
current will carry the active principle inside the tissues, because the ions of the active
principle itself will migrate towards the opposite pole until the product is completely
absorbed. The kit with sponges and electrodes for ionophoresis is an extra accessory
that can be purchased separately.
The intensity value is adjustable from a minimum of 0 mA to a maximum of 10 mA.
To ensure safety, the maximum intensity, calculated with the smallest ionophoresis
electrodes (50 x 50 mm), is 0.40 mA per cm² of electrode.
DENSITY = Current displayed in mA / Electrode area in cm²
Indications for the application:
The manufacturer declines the responsibility of the prescribing physician for the
•
choice of the drug to be used with ionophoresis. For this purpose, in this user
manual the manufacturer provides the data for a correct definition of the
protocol and the drug that has to be used.
Before using ionophoresis, therefore, it is mandatory to contact the prescribing
•
doctor.
Both sponges in the ionophoresis kit must be wetted with distilled water or
•
physiological solution, then insert the silicone electrodes inside the sponges
and connect the cables.
The drug used for the therapy should never be applied directly on the skin but
•
to the absorbent surface of the electrode corresponding to the polarity of the
drug itself. In fact, it is very important to consider the positive or negative
charge sign of the active ingredient of the drug, which must be applied
correctly: the drug must be placed on the electrode with the same charge
sign as the active ingredient.
