Description
Key Features:
Ergonomic Butterfly Shape: The distinctive butterfly shape of the electrodes is engineered to conform effectively to contoured and hard-to-treat parts of the body. This includes areas like the elbows, knees, shoulders, Achilles tendon, fingers, and knuckles, ensuring better contact and drug delivery.
Highly Absorbent Drug Matrix: The electrodes incorporate a specialized material that readily absorbs medication, eliminating the need for messy hydrogels that are common in other iontophoresis systems. This feature simplifies the application process.
Advanced pH Balancing: It utilizes Carbon-Ag/AgCl (silver/silver chloride) technology. This is crucial for maintaining a stable pH level during treatment, which enhances the effectiveness of the drug being delivered and significantly reduces the risk of skin irritation or burns.
Superior Adhesion: The electrodes are designed with a large surface area for adhesion, which helps to keep them securely in place throughout the treatment session and prevents movement that could disrupt drug delivery.
Latex-Free Construction: The materials used are not made with natural rubber latex, making the kit a safe option for patients with latex allergies.
Complete Kit: Each kit is individually packaged and typically contains everything needed for a single treatment session: one active (drug delivery) electrode, one return (ground) electrode, and an alcohol prep pad for skin cleansing.
Compatibility: These electrodes are designed to be used with FDA-cleared iontophoresis controllers, such as the ActivaDose® II, providing flexibility for clinical use.
Primary Uses:
The main purpose of the Activatek NC89183B is to administer soluble medications transdermally to treat localized medical conditions, thereby serving as an alternative to injections.
Treatment of Inflammation: It is widely used in physical therapy and sports medicine to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs (like dexamethasone) directly to the site of inflammation. This is effective for conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, and plantar fasciitis.
Localized Pain Management: The kit can be used to deliver anesthetics or other analgesics to a specific area to manage pain without systemic side effects.
Targeted Drug Delivery: Its unique shape makes it ideal for precisely targeting medication to specific joints and tendons that are otherwise difficult to treat topically.
