Professional use Electrostimulators

An electrostimulator is a device that produces electrical impulses strong enough to contract a muscle without the need for brain signals. This electrical stimulation enhances muscle activation and improves the contraction of fibers, including those not easily reached through voluntary effort.

Electrostimulators are used in various fields: aesthetics and beauty, fitness, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation. That’s why most devices include pre-set programs designed for different goals, making them easy to use.

What to Consider When Buying an Electrostimulator

Before purchasing, consider what you’ll use it for. Most devices available at Quirumed come with the following preset programs:

• Pain relief: with an endorphin-releasing effect for chronic muscular pain
• Relaxing massage
• Physical preparation: to work on strength and endurance
• Fitness: for firming, toning, and sculpting

At Quirumed, we work with top electrostimulation brands such as Compex, Globus, Cefar, Omron, and more.

Professional Electrostimulators

In our online catalog, you'll find professional-grade electrostimulators built with durable, reliable designs. Choosing a trusted brand like Medical Italia (Therapic and Elektra models) or Chattanooga ensures maximum effectiveness in your clinic or practice.

Electrostimulation is an excellent complement to physical therapy, enhancing conventional exercises with functional activity. It’s useful both for health and rehabilitation and for facial and body aesthetics.

Look for upgradable models to ensure your device stays up to date with future features.

TENS vs EMS Electrostimulators

There are two main types of electrostimulators:

• TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): For pain relief, whether chronic or post-surgical. Sends mild electrical currents through the skin to reduce pain perception.
• EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): For injury treatment and muscle re-education. Sends impulses to motor nerves to trigger passive movement and prevent atrophy.

Important: Do not use if pregnant, epileptic, or if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or circulatory disorders. Always consult a healthcare professional if unsure.

Compex Electrostimulators

Compex and CefarCompex electrostimulators are ideal for sports performance and health improvement. They can enhance or even substitute physical workouts, depending on the program.

• Compex SP Series: For improving strength and endurance
• Compex Fit Series: For shaping and toning the body

Easy to use, they’re suitable for both professionals and home users. The Rehab and Theta models from CefarCompex offer up to 83 professional programs for medical and aesthetic use.

TENS & EMS Electrodes with Wires

Wired electrodes deliver electrical stimulation directly to the muscle. They offer low impedance and high conductivity, ensuring effective and safe treatment.

• Average lifespan: 20–40 uses
• Tip: Store in the refrigerator to extend life

Choose electrode size based on the treatment area. Larger pads provide a gentler current spread. Available brands include Dura-Stick, Sport-elec, Globus and more—compatible with 2 mm plug connections.

Clip and Snap Electrodes

Clip and snap electrodes prevent disconnections during movement and allow easy one-handed attachment.

How to Place the Electrodes

Regardless of connector type (wire, clip, or snap):

• Place the positive (red) electrode on the motor point
• Place the negative (black/transparent) electrode at the muscle base

Many devices include motor point charts or pens to guide correct placement. Incorrect positioning won’t cause harm—it just reduces effectiveness.

At Quirumed, we offer a wide variety of clip/snap electrodes from leading brands like Compex, CefarCompex, and Omron at competitive prices.
