Why TECAR with T-Plus really works?

Do you want to expand your range of services with a modern TECAR therapy device? At the same time, are you looking for a device that helps improve your expertise and enhance your manual skills, shorten treatment time, and respond to medical prescriptions?

Published on January 22, 2024

In the therapeutic field, immediate results are desired and there is usually not much time available. How can therapy times be shortened while still delivering results?

The answer is extremely complex. Put simply, however, it could be as follows: „We need more energy, in the shortest possible time, and without side effects!“

The TECAR T-Plus Concept offers precisely these properties. It enables, more than any other device, the transfer of large amounts of energy in a few seconds. This is achieved because the T-Plus minimizes unwanted effects of superficial thermal elevation and maximizes the absorption of energy in deep tissue, which in turn shortens application times. The T-Plus is the only device worldwide tested and measured for this purpose, with its results published in scientific journals.

The advantages of the modular high-power TECAR equipment in the T-Plus

Efficacy in both acute and chronic diseases

Thanks to the technology of HYPERthermic and HYPOthermic electrodes, TECAR T-Plus technology is effective under various treatment conditions. On the one hand, there are treatment conditions that stimulate a significant thermal increase as well as cases where the applied current intensities metabolically stimulate the tissue without significantly increasing its temperature. These properties allow the therapist the utmost versatility in the treatment of acute (e.g., post-operative) as well as chronic (e.g., tendinosis) conditions.

Huge amounts of energy in the shortest possible time

The TECAR T-Plus device is able to transfer large amounts of energy to the tissue while simultaneously minimizing response times. This was made possible by a careful study, the use of innovative electrode materials, and the generator's ability to deliver up to 2 amperes of current to the tissue.

But why is that important?
With the T-Plus, the therapist can quickly and deeply stimulate the desired physiological response in the area to be treated.

TECAR devices with lower power output take much longer to produce the desired response. This results in longer treatment times, which in turn comes at the expense of manual techniques and the rest of the treatment.

Furthermore, the TECAR T-Plus device protects both the patient and the therapist from various problems:

  • Heating plate or electrode
  • the need to constantly move along with the handpiece
  • Challenges in Using Long Geometries
  • Limitations on the patient's mobility

Versatility depending on the clinical condition

To maintain and improve efficiency while ensuring a high level of safety, TECAR T-Plus technology adjusts the transmitted current and energy levels depending on the application mode:

I'm dynamic mode the therapist can best express their manual technique in combination with ergonomic handpieces and electrodes that combine deep energy transfer with mobilizations and manual techniques.

I'm static mode The therapist can better control the active movement requested by the patient by transmitting the necessary energy to the tissues via special adhesive electrodes. Any inaccuracies in the patient's execution of the movement can thus be corrected manually.

I'm Fibrolysis Mode T-Plus transforms the TECAR concept into diathermic fibrolysis. This makes it possible to treat adhesions and fibrosis more effectively and painlessly.

Through the dosimetric modality, the therapist can measure the transferred amount of energy precisely and in a controlled manner. Which ideally supports the regeneration of damaged tissue.

Greater effectiveness with the manual technique—no cream needed!

One of the potentials that sets T-Plus apart is the naturalness with which the therapist's manual technique is combined and enhanced. Normally, the proper functioning of a TECAR device requires the application of a conductive cream. While this cream facilitates the transfer of current to the tissue, it also makes the skin slippery and complicates manipulation. This is particularly hindering when complex structural maneuvers are required or when you want to apply advanced myofascial techniques.

Thanks to the innovative High-Performance Electrodes T-Plus is the only TECAR device in the world that allows large amounts of energy to be transferred to the tissue, even without the use of a conductive cream.

This unique feature gives T-Plus users a much greater and more effective range of action. This is particularly true in cases where myofascial techniques or precise joint maneuvers are required, which are facilitated by energy transfer.

More focus and power at depth!

„Without cream“ also means greater effectiveness without having to constantly move the electrode. The temperature rises gradually, quickly, and without disruptive thermal spikes. This makes the treatment comfortable for the patient, the effect penetrates much deeper, and the therapist experiences less fatigue.

0.5 MHz—the most frequently cited frequency in scientific studies

The TECAR T-Plus, a high-performance modulated device, operates at a frequency of 0.5 MHz. This is based on scientific literature supporting the field of capacitive and resistive energy transfer technologies. Due to the electrical properties of various body tissues, this frequency makes it possible to utilize both the magnetic and electrical effects of the applied field. This results in a greater number of tissue responses and, consequently, a broader therapeutic spectrum than with other forms of instrumental physical therapy.

TECAR devices that operate at other frequencies (e.g., 0.8 or 1.2 MHz) and are often supported by theoretical models do not have the same evidence-based foundation as the range around 0.5 MHz.

Excessive surface heating reduces the effectiveness of TECAR!

An intense but superficial thermal reaction caused by a TECAR device means that the effect does not penetrate deeply, thus negating the therapeutic benefit in most cases.

Often, overheating of the skin leads to discomfort for the patient and becomes a limitation during treatment: the therapist is thus forced to constantly move the electrode to avoid burns on the patient's skin. In the process, it is falsely assumed that a sufficient therapeutic effect has been achieved. These thermal peaks are often associated with a tissue temperature that drops back to the pre-treatment level within seconds. This is an indicator of the superficiality of the transferred energy, which usually leads to a poor therapeutic effect. This is not the case with the T-Plus!

This is how biological effects are ensured!

With the T-Plus the physiotherapist is able to transfer large amounts of energy in a safe and comfortable manner for the patient. The basic rules of high-power energy transfer are comprehensively taken into account:

  • Thanks to special technology that ensures both thermal and non-thermal effects, efficacy is guaranteed in both acute and chronic conditions.
  • Effective frequency, based on the impact factor of the scientific literature.
  • The depths of action have been substantiated by scientific publications.
  • Gradual, rapid, and deep thermal increases – completely WITHOUT overheating the plate or electrode – offer maximum comfort for patient and therapist.
  • The focus is on the impact, with the possibility of expanding the stimulus if needed.
  • The multimodal approach enables maximum effectiveness under all treatment conditions.
