Chattanooga Cefar Hand Switch

Gain greater control over your electrotherapy sessions with the Cefar Hand Switch. Designed as a practical accessory for Cefar TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) units, this switch allows you to manually trigger stimulation with the simple press of a button. This is particularly useful for clinicians managing patient treatment or for individuals needing precise timing during functional rehabilitation exercises. Instead of relying on pre-set automatic intervals, you can coordinate the stimulation exactly when muscle contraction is needed, enhancing motor learning and rehabilitation outcomes.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Manual Stimulation Control: Enables precise timing of electrical impulses, perfect for synchronizing stimulation with voluntary muscle movement during therapy.
• Enhanced Rehabilitation: Ideal for functional training tasks where timing is critical, such as grasping objects or gait training.
• User-Friendly Design: Ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, featuring a responsive button that is easy to press during active sessions.
• Plug-and-Play Compatibility: connects seamlessly to compatible Cefar stimulation units without complex setup procedures.

Specifications:

• Connector Type: Standard pin connector compatible with specific Cefar rehab devices.
• Cable Length: Generous cable length allows for freedom of movement during exercises.
• Material: Durable, medical-grade plastic housing designed for repeated clinical or home use.

Indications:

The Cefar Hand Switch is indicated for use in:

• Neuromuscular Re-education: Facilitating muscle relearning by timing stimulation with attempted movement.
• Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES): Assisting with functional tasks like reaching, grasping, or stepping.
• Spasticity Management: Delivering stimulation at precise moments to help manage tone.
• Pain Management: Allowing the user to control the onset of TENS for immediate relief during specific activities.

User Guidelines:

1. Connection: Ensure your Cefar unit is turned off. Plug the hand switch into the designated port on your stimulation device.
2. Placement: Prepare the electrodes on the skin according to your treatment plan.
3. Activation: Turn on the device and select your program. When ready for stimulation, press and hold the button on the hand switch.
4. Coordination: For rehab exercises, attempt to contract the muscle voluntarily at the exact moment you press the button to maximize neuromuscular efficiency. Release the button to stop stimulation.
