Reclaim your patients' swallowing function with precision and confidence using the Vitalstim Plus Stylus. Designed for clinicians who demand accuracy in dysphagia rehabilitation, this specialized electrode tool delivers targeted neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) directly to the muscles involved in swallowing. Unlike standard electrode pads which cover broad areas, the Stylus allows for manual application, giving you the control to stimulate specific small muscle groups essential for effective pharyngeal contraction. This hands-on approach facilitates active muscle re-education, helping patients regain the coordination and strength needed for safe oral intake.

The ergonomic design ensures comfort during therapy sessions, while the conductive tip ensures optimal energy transfer for effective treatment. By integrating the Vitalstim Plus Stylus into your therapy protocol, you are providing a higher standard of care that addresses the complex mechanics of swallowing disorders. It seamlessly connects with the VitalStim Plus device, expanding your treatment capabilities beyond static placement and allowing for dynamic, clinician-guided intervention.

Key Benefits and Features

Targeted Stimulation: Delivers precise electrical impulses to specific small muscle groups that are difficult to isolate with traditional patch electrodes.
Clinician Control: Allows for manual, dynamic placement during therapy, enabling real-time adjustments based on patient response and swallowing maneuvers.
Ergonomic Handling: Designed for comfortable grip and prolonged use during therapy sessions without causing hand fatigue.
Enhanced Feedback: Facilitates better motor planning by providing immediate sensory input to the patient during swallowing exercises.
Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with the VitalStim Plus electrotherapy system for a comprehensive dysphagia treatment solution.
