Take control of your rehabilitation journey with the next generation of handheld therapy. The Cefar TENS builds on trusted technology to offer both Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) in one compact, portable unit. Designed for seamless transition from the clinic to your living room, this device empowers you to manage pain and muscle rehabilitation effectively without being tethered to a medical facility.

You can start your treatment under professional guidance and confidently continue at home, ensuring consistent care. With intuitive controls and advanced monitoring features, you remain in charge of your recovery while your clinician tracks your progress. By reducing reliance on medication and speeding up recovery times, the Cefar TENS supports greater independence and mobility for a more active life.

Key Features and Benefits

Dual-Channel 1+1 Functionality: The Direct TENS features two fully independent channels, allowing for exceptional versatility during treatment. Users can run the same program on both channels or select two different programs to run simultaneously. This unique capability allows for the combination of NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) in a single session. This means patients can actively rehabilitate an affected muscle group while simultaneously managing pain, leading to a more comfortable and efficient recovery process.
Customizable Program Mode: Tailor treatments to exact therapeutic requirements with the ability to create and store up to five custom programs. This feature empowers clinicians to prescribe a specific initial treatment regime that patients can use with confidence. As recovery progresses, these parameters can be easily modified to suit changing needs, ensuring the device remains useful throughout the entire rehabilitation journey.
Patient Compliance Tracking: For clinicians, monitoring patient adherence to home treatment plans is effortless. The device tracks total usage hours and usage since the last reset, providing valuable data to ensure patients are receiving the necessary therapy frequency for recovery.
Safety Locking Function: To prevent accidental changes to the prescribed therapy, the device includes a locking function. This ensures that the patient uses only the appropriate, clinician-selected program, preventing misuse and ensuring safety during home operation.
Optimized for Chattanooga Electrodes: While compatible with standard connections, the system is designed for optimal performance with Chattanooga electrodes. Available in two sizes, these electrodes ensure excellent conductivity and uniform current distribution, maximizing the comfort and effectiveness of every session.
Chronic Pain Management: Provides symptomatic relief for long-standing, intractable pain conditions, helping you find comfort in your daily life.
Post-Surgical Recovery: serves as an effective adjunctive treatment for acute pain following surgery or trauma, supporting a smoother recovery process.
Arthritis Support: Specifically indicated for the relief of pain associated with arthritis, allowing for improved mobility and reduced discomfort.
Muscle Maintenance: Helps retard or prevent disuse atrophy, keeping muscles active even when voluntary movement is limited.
Improved Mobility: Assists in maintaining or increasing range of motion, crucial for rehabilitation and flexibility.
Muscle Re-education: precise stimulation helps re-train muscles, making it ideal for recovery after nerve damage or prolonged inactivity.
Circulation Boost: Increases local blood circulation to targeted areas, promoting healing and reducing stiffness.

Indications

Chronic Pain Relief: Provides a powerful tool for managing intractable pain conditions that have persisted over time, giving you a renewed sense of control over your daily comfort.
Post-Surgical Support: Serves as an effective adjunctive treatment for acute pain following surgery, helping to make the recovery period more manageable and less stressful.
Trauma Recovery: Assists in alleviating acute pain resulting from physical trauma or injury, allowing you to rest and recover more effectively.
Arthritis Management: Specifically indicated to help soothe the deep, aching pain associated with arthritis, promoting better joint comfort during daily activities.

Muscle Rehabilitation and Performance (NMES)

Prevents Muscle Wasting: Actively works to retard or prevent disuse atrophy, ensuring your muscles stay engaged even when voluntary movement is difficult or painful.
Restores Range of Motion: Helps maintain or increase your range of motion by keeping joints mobile and muscles flexible, preventing the stiffness that often follows injury.
Muscle Re-education: ideal for retraining muscles that have forgotten how to function correctly due to nerve damage or prolonged immobilization, helping you regain strength and coordination.
Enhances Circulation: Significantly increases local blood circulation, which reduces inflammation and accelerates the natural healing process of the tissues.
Relaxes Muscle Spasms: Targets and releases tight, knotted muscles that cause stiffness and discomfort, providing immediate physical relief and improved flexibility.

Acupuncture mode

When connected to acupuncture needles, Cefar® TENS can be used to deliver electroacupuncture (EA) treatment. As EA has been shown to be particularly effective in the reduction of pain, this provides a further, more beneficial option for patients to reduce their discomfort.
Clinician use only. Acupuncture needles not supplied.
When connected to the belt clip, the device can be rotated to allow convenient access to the cable outputs.
