Asteo (F type) / Asteo (S type)

Features

• SSP therapy that creates high-density current

  Combining uniquely shaped metal probes with specific waveforms, SSP therapy is an original therapy by Japan Medicalix. The SSP electrodes are made of brass plated with silver. The center of the circular base is conical in shape. When the tips make close contact, pressure concentrates at a single point, deforming the stratum corneum of the skin, which has high electrical resistance, and concentrating the current at the tips, thereby enabling high-density current flow to the treatment points.
  
  [What is SSP therapy]
  Body surface stimulation therapy using conical metal electrodes. It was born in 1976 from industry-academia collaborative research between the Osaka Medical College Department of Anesthesiology and Japan Medix. Known as "needle-free acupuncture," for over 40 years since its introduction, numerous basic and clinical studies have been conducted, expanding from pain-related fields such as pain clinics and rehabilitation to a wide range of fields including internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and dentistry. Furthermore, recognized in China and South Korea—the homelands of acupuncture—SSP therapy is exported to countries around the world.

  

  

  

• FP therapy mode

  Pulse Stimulation
  Analgesic effects can be achieved through nerve stimulation using a biphasic symmetrical waveform with a pulse width of 150 μs.
  
  MF (medium-frequency electrical stimulation)
  Using mid-frequency waves ranging from 2,500 Hz to 16,000 Hz, this device effectively improves blood circulation through the muscle pump effect and removes pain-inducing substances via electrical stimulation using three types of sinusoidal modulated waves: 100%, 50%, and Burst.

  

• MC therapy mode

  MC mode [for early healing]
  It applies a weak electrical current within the living body to promote the healing of damaged tissue and activate metabolism at the cellular level. Because it does not excite nerves or muscles, it is suitable for reducing post-exercise muscle soreness and suppressing inflammation.

  

• MCC therapy mode

  MCC mode [for whole-body conditioning]
  MCC treatment mode refers to Micro-Current Conditioning, a new therapy that regulates homeostasis by applying micro-currents from four points on the upper and lower limbs, thereby promoting the activation of cells throughout the entire body. Its effectiveness is further enhanced when used as a follow-up therapy after standard electrical stimulation therapy. *This function is available only on the F type.

  

• HV therapy mode

  High voltage for muscle re-education, etc.
  High-voltage electrical stimulation therapy, which instantaneously applies high-voltage electrical stimulation of up to 500V with a twin-peak waveform, is less susceptible to skin impedance and can deliver electrical stimulation to deep tissues. Therefore, it is used for pain relief, increased blood flow, and promotion of skin ulcer healing. *This is a feature available only on the F type.

  

  

• MF therapy mode

  Power of medium frequency up to 16,000Hz
  This is a medium-frequency electrical stimulation therapy that uses medium frequencies ranging from 2,500Hz to 16,000Hz to effectively improve blood circulation and remove pain-producing substances through muscle pumping action, utilizing electrical stimulation with three types of sine-modulated waves: 100%, 50%, and burst waves. The device generates modulated waves internally to produce a stimulating current similar to interference waves, allowing treatment with just two electrodes and making it easy to attach probes to areas like the shoulders and elbows. NMES mode can also be set. Note: This feature is only available on the F type.

  

  

• SSP + HV therapy effects

  We promote an analgesic effect while applying SSP therapy to tender points, and apply high-voltage (HV) electrical stimulation to muscles and tendons that have stiffened due to pain to promote blood circulation.

  

• Treatment effects of SSP + MC

  For acute injury sites, we apply MC (Microcurrent therapy), which is expected to provide pain relief and promote wound healing, as well as SSP therapy applied to remote points to relieve pain throughout the entire body.

  

• HV + MF therapy effects

  To relieve muscle tension, blood circulation is improved using the MF mode, and at the same time, concentrated electrical stimulation to deep areas using HV provides effective pain relief.
