PREMIUM 400 ACTION PRINCIPLES Muscular electrostimulation Electrostimulation is a technique that, by means of electric pulses that act on the muscle motor points (motoneurons), causes a muscular contraction similar to voluntary contraction. The majority of human muscles are striated or voluntary, with approximately 200 muscles on each side of the body (about 400 on the whole).
PREMIUM 400 muscles which only have type II fibers, like the orbicular muscle; however, the majority of human body muscles is composed of a combination of the two types. Studies on the distribution of fibers in the muscle have highlighted the close relationship between the (tonic or phasic) motoneuron and the functional features of the fibers it innervates;...

PREMIUM 400 treatment description, recommended intensity levels indicated. N.B. Recommended current levels are just an indication. NOTE: It is not necessary to set the intensity value (in mA) in Microcurrent programs, since it has already been set for all the phases.
PREMIUM 400 Endorphin secretion When a nervous signal proceeds from the pain area to the brain, it spreads through a chain of connections joined together called synapses. The synapse can be seen as the space between the end of a nerve and the start of another. When an electric signal reaches the end of a nerve, it produces substances called neurotransmitters that pass through the synapse and activate the start of the next nerve.
PREMIUM 400 It is crucial to know if the active part of the medicine, after being dissociated in a ionic form, has positive or negative charge, with the aim of placing it correctly according to the direction of the electric flow.

PREMIUM 400 Before placing the electrodes on the skin, we suggest to clean it accurately. After using the multi-purpose single patient and/or single-use electrodes, they must be stored using their plastic film and placed in a clean closed plastic bag.
NOTE: Before returning the device for repairs, we recommend to read carefully the user instructions contained in the manual and visit Globus website. In case you need to return your product for assistance, contact your dealer or contact Globus Service.
PREMIUM 400 Frequently Asked Questions What kind of electrodes should be used for electrostimulation? Use self-adhesive electrodes, which are practical and improve the quality of stimulation. If used with care, they will last for 25-30 applications. The electrodes should be replaced when they have no longer a good connection with the skin.
