Our Technology
Our body is composed of millions of cells. These, very schematically, are systems that differentiate themselves, and their internal environment, from the external environment through the cell membrane.
At the two sides of the cell membrane there is a potential difference, due to the different concentration of ions between the intracellular environment and the extracellular environment.
Starting from this consideration, we can consider the cell as a bioelectric unit with its own characteristics of electrical conductivity and resistance. Impedance Is a variable that summarizes the bioelectric behavior of body tissues.
Experimentally, it has been measured that the impedance, or, greatly simplifying, the resistance of tissues, decreases when the frequency of electromagnetic waves passing through them increases. Translated into practice: increasing frequency, and in particular the high frequency range (3-30 MHz), reduces the impedance of cells almost to zero.
Therefore, it can be said that radiofrequencies emitted by our devices overcome the barrier represented by the most superficial tissues to penetrate deeply and thus exert their effect directly in depth, at the site of damage.
The interaction between biological tissues and high frequencies, particularly 8 MHz, is the basis of the beneficial effects (antalgic, antiedemigenous, anti-inflammatory, and prorigenerative) that develop during therapy.
The high frequencies generated by our devices activate directly, and indirectly, numerous cellular metabolic cascades responsible for injury regeneration and repair.
The effects generated by high frequencies can be divided into:
Nitric oxide is an important biochemical mediator that has multiple effects: it is a vasodilator, activates processes of neoangiogenesis, and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
The effects of nitric oxide are amplified by the indirect-diathermic effects of high frequencies that increase local metabolism and affect the re-balancing of immune activity at the treatment site.
Focusmed® has invested heavily in researching and choosing the best materials to radiate energy from our electromedical devices to the patient in total safety .
Handpieces are a key component of our electromedical equipment: custom-designed, certified, biocompatible and ergonomic.
At the apex of the handpieces is an isolated, titanium dioxide-coated discoid. The discoid has been carefully designed to allow treatment delivery in total safety for patient and operator. The surface of the discoid, coated with vitrified titanium dioxide, is insulated from the external environment. In addition, the discoid is easily removable from the handpiece so it can be quickly cleaned after each treatment.
The handpiece can slide over the skin or hair without the use of conductive gels or creams, making treatment much more convenient.
The handpieces can be used in two different manners:
The return mat is specially designed to be convenient to use for the operator and comfortable for the patient: it is soft, foldable and easy to clean.
It does not need to be placed in direct contact with the patient’s skin, so it is easy to use the devices on any body district and in any setting: from the clinic bed or at the patient’s home.
This innovative accessory is specially designed to promote and ensure comfort and therapeutic continuity in any situation.
Within all of our devices are numerous power delivery and high-frequency control mechanisms to ensure maximum effectiveness and efficiency under all clinical conditions.
Real-time control is provided by several microprocessors that, continuously, monitor the proper balance between the many treatment variables, such as power delivered, impedance, and high-frequency absorption by the tissues.
The steel case of our portable electromedical equipment is made of materials that are extremely resistant to impact and temperature changes.
Certification for home use of ProNexibus Plus®and Rinovacell® testifies to the great versatility and durability of our products.
The case is steel-reinforced, lightweight, compact, impact-resistant, and resealable with the appropriate safety keys.
ProNexibus Plus® is designed to be practical and portable; it is also certified for home use.
The mobile trolley is designed to use electromedical equipment in the outpatient clinic with total safety and freedom.
