Intended purpose
The device is a non-invasive therapeutic method based on interaction of radiofrequency current with the biological structures. The radiofrequency current is transferred to the body through the contact surface of the application electrodes. Dissipation of the current leads to selective tissue temperature increase and results in effects such as pain relief, myorelaxation, increase of local blood circulation and oedema reduction. The device can be used for treatment of both acute and chronic disorders of musculoskeletal system, such as muscle spasms, joint degenerative disorders, back pain and soft tissue injuries.
