HighVoltage Pulsed Galvanic Stimulation

Galvanic stimulation is most useful in acute injuries associated with majortissue trauma with bleeding or swelling. In contrast to TENS and IFC units,which apply alternating current, galvanic stimulators apply direct current.

Direct current creates an electrical field over the treated area that,theoretically, changes blood flow. The positive pad behaves like ice, causingreduced circulation to the area under the pad and reduction in swelling. Thenegative pad behaves like heat, causing increased circulation, reportedlyspeeding healing. The Galvanic Stimulator (direct current) is the best modalityfor iontophoresis treatments and comes with 5 year warranty against mechanical defects.

High-voltage pulsed galvanic stimulation (HVPGS) is gaining widespread use forwound healing, edema reduction and pain relief, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome andDiabetic Foot are two major areas of use. Devices in this class arecharacterized by a unique twin- peak monophasicwaveform with very short pulse duration (microseconds) and a therapeuticvoltage greater than 100 volts. The combination of very short pulse durationand high peak current, yet low total current per second (Microcurrent)allows relatively comfortable stimulation. Furthermore, this combination providesan efficient means of exciting sensory, motor and pain-conducting nerve fibers.Perceptual discrimination of those responses is relatively easy to achieve andthus its clinical versatility. Back Ground Skin offers a great amount ofresistance to the flow of electrical current. When current is passed through acircuit that contains resistors, voltage drop occurs and energy is lost. Thisphenomenon occurs when traditional low voltage units are used in treatment A high voltage device produces a spontaneous breakdown inskin resistance and HVPGS current passes through the skin with negligiblethermal and electrochemical effects. The first high voltage stimulator wasdeveloped by Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1945. By decreasing the pulseduration and increasing the voltage, the developers noted that deep tissuescould be stimulated without producing tissue damage. The first published report(I 966) described its effectiveness in wound healing of animal limbs.High-Voltage Pulsed Galvanic Stimulation
