ELITE SII
Gate theory
If the electric signals that lead to the brain information about pain are stopped,
also the pain perception is eliminated. If, for instance, we hit our head into an
object the first thing we do is massaging the area affected by the trauma. In this
way we stimulate the receptors related to touch and pressure. TENS in continuous
mode and in frequency modulation can be used to generate signals similar to the
ones of touch and pressure. If their intensity is enough, their priority is so high that it
prevails on the pain signals. Once the priority is gained, the gate related to the
sensory signals is opened and the pain one is closed, impeding in this way the
passage of these signals to the brain.
Endorphin secretion
When a nervous signal proceeds from the pain area to the brain, it spreads through
a chain of connections joined together called synapse. The synapse can be seen
as the space between the end of a nerve and the start of another. When an
electric signal reaches the end of a nerve, it produces some substances called
neurotransmitters that pass through the synapse and activate the start of the next
nerve. This process repeats for all the length needed to the signal to reach the brain.
The opioids involved in the pain reduction have the task to insinuate in the synapse
space and impede the neurotransmitter propagation. In this way a chemical block
of the pain signals occurs. The endorphins are opioids naturally produced by the
body to tackle the pain and they can act both on the marrow and on the brain, in
this way they are effective analgesics. Tens can increase the natural production of
endorphins and, thereby, they act decreasing the pain perception.
Incontinence programs
The urology programs require the use of specific endovaginal and endorectal
electrode probes, certified according to the Directive for Medical Devices
93/42/EEC. These are bipolar probes with a 2-mm female adapter which attaches
to 2-mm male cables.
Warnings
Urological electrostimulation is a medical application, which must be carried out
under medical supervision.
Use
To correctly use the probe electrode, follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer and given by the physician.
Maintenance
For cleaning, sterilization and disinfection, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
Suggestions
In case of deterioration of the probe electrode, replace it immediately.
