XTM 5000/3000

XTM 5000 is the world's first portable interferential current (IFC) medium frequency sine-wave stimulator, combining all the advanced features, essential strengths and attributes of larger, traditional units already on the world market, plus more. The revolutionary treatment head synergistically combines four different kinds of energy in one treatment viz: IFC, magnetic fields, photons, and subtle energies.  Our unique quadripolar treatment head adds considerably to the versatility.



Series of Interferential Stimulators by Biophysica
  IFC is a superior form of electrical stimulation, already universally used and recognized by Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine experts as one of the most effective and well-tolerated of therapies because of its long-lasting benefits, pleasantly penetrating effects, wider range of applications and less superficial irritation than conventional brief-pulse TENS (Trans-cutaneous Electrical Neuro Muscular Stimulation. Its range of clinical indications are supported by a substantial body of professional medical literature. IFC is already replacing pulse TENS in European countries and Australia because of its comfortable high frequency smooth sine waves rather than the sharp pulses of TENS and also penetrates deeper into internal body organs like the bladder, bowels, bone, pancreas, prostate.

Features of XTM generators:
  • Pure filtered sine waves, rather than square wave or pulses, are less irritating on skin nerve endings and actually a source of pleasure to delicate surfaces.

  • Three separate outputs allow three body sites, or patients, to be treated simultaneously (two cable outputs and quadripolar head)

  • Hand-held four electrode Quadripolar applicator head (washable) can be freely moved around by client or therapist.

  • Magnetic Fields from two oppositely oriented Neodymium magnets in treatment head have well-established therapeutic benefits.

  • Low Energy Photon Therapy (L.E.P.T.) from an emitter in treatment head driven directly by the IFC wave.

  • Mechanical vibration from vibrator in treatment head (option).

  • Powered from mains line power, or automobile 12v outlet, or from rechargeable battery (providing three hours use from one charge).

  • Cable outputs connect to standard TENS rubber or disposable electrodes used universally in rehabilitation, physiotherapy and sports medicine clinics.

  • Iontophoresis mode uses Germanium diodes (rather than Silicon).

  • Vector rotation on both channels, Frequency modulation and Scalar modulation

Applications, indications and expected benefits of IFC derived in part from a bibliography of research papers on electrotherapy:

  • PAIN: Pain control & local anaesthesia for minor surgery, especially deep aches, PMS, menstrual cramps, arthritis, headache, migraine, haemorrhoids, migraine, repetitive strain injuries, myofascial syndrome, post-surgical, herpes, temporo-mandibular joint problems, cystitis. Back pain and headache often respond well.

  • MUSCLES: Re-education, bruising, tension, sports injuries, strengthening, atrophy prevention, myalgia, myositis. causes rhythmical pulsation of small muscles with all the known benefits of exercise and toning, especially to atrophied or denervated muscle.

  • SPORTS MEDICINE for reduction of immediate pain, inflammation and to prevent chronicity.

  • BONES & JOINTS: Arthropathies, arthroses, subluxations, strains, sprains, fracture non-union, epicondylitis, tendonitis, diabetic osteopathy, torn ligament rehabilitation, arthritis.

  • CARDIO-VASCULAR: Peripheral circulatory ischaemia (increases local blood flow), varicose veins, angina. In Schoeler's 1972 article "Physical Block of the Sympathetic Chain", he describes the use of two interfering high frequency electric currents achieving a similar effect to local injection of Procaine into a sympathetic ganglion. The result was relief of the ischaemia demonstrated by peripheral plethysmography. Local blood flow increases-utilized in gangrenous and ulcerous conditions.

  • SURGERY: surgery anaesthesia for minor procedures and incisions. Enhances wound and fracture healing. (published article available).

  • NEUROLOGY: Neuralgia, neuritis, nerve block or paralysis, migraine, peripheral neuropathy, radicular syndrome, causalgia. Nerve activation, tension release, motor nerve stimulation in cases of paralysis due to nerve or muscle injury. Pain of Herpes.

  • PSYCHIATRY: trans-cranial stimulation for Endorphin and Melatonin release in depression, insomnia and drug withdrawal.

  • GENITO-URINARY: Cystitis, urinary retention, incontinence, prostatitis, oedema, lymphatic stasis, neurogenic bladder, orcho-epididymitis, impotence.

  • GASTRO-INTESTINAL: Constipation, functional abdominal pain. peptic ulcer, gastric hyperactivity, levator ani syndrome, pancreatitis. Will penetrate trans-abdominally into gut to mobilise inactive bowel.

  • DERMATOLOGY: Decubitus ulcers, wounds, haematoma, burns, itch and pruritis, dermatoses, herpes lesions, hyperhidrosis.

  • DENTAL: Local electro-anaesthesia for surgery or while injecting.

  • MASSAGE: alleviates strain on therapist.

  • MOBILE: Automobile use eg. low back pain in long distance driving, cycling.

  • ACUPUNCTURE: stimulation either through needle or surface electrode.

  • SEXUAL dysfunction, bedroom or bath-tub use.

  • COSMETIC applications such as toning facial muscles, skin and scalp, hair follicle stimulation.

  • IONTOPHORESIS to accelerate absorption of local anaesthetics, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories.

  • ANTI-INFLAMMATORY effects on joints (arthritis), bladder (cystitis), pancreas, prostate.

  • SWELLING: Edema and inflammation reduction by stimulating Parasympathetic fibres.

  • EXERCISE: Causes rhythmical pulsation of small muscles with all the known benefits of exercise and toning, especially to atrophied or denervated muscle.

  • OBSTETRICS: labour and delivery.

  • PHYSIOTHERAPY: Professional massage for toning deep muscles and improving circulation.

Two models are available. The XTM 5000 delivers 50 milliamperes per channel and is offered only to professionals. The XTM 3000, delivers 30 milliamperes per channel and is suitable for renting out for home use as a better alternative to TENS. Each can use the quadripolar treatment head or standard TENS electrodes.

Synopsis of Special Features:
  • Acceptability: Smooth, deep electronic muscle massage ensured with filtered high-frequency sine waves, bypassing sensitive pain-nerve endings in the skin.

  • Applicability: Deeper pain-relief and wider range of indications than conventional pulse-wave TENS units used in most clinics.

  • Authenticity: Two separate audio frequency generators provide true rotational vector scanning rather than simulated phase differences as in some competitive models.

  • Conventionality: Replacement leads and electrodes are identical to those used by TENS units throughout the world.

  • Portability: XTM stimulators can go places other interferential generators can't. The XTM can be used for battery-operated home or automobile use or as an A.C. line connected professional clinic instrument.

  • Cost: Is reduced by trimming non-essential components, such as suction pads, timers, meters, digital readouts, and farado-galvanic circuits, and by using the most technically advanced microcircuits.

  • Efficacy: Greatest heterodyne beat frequency range of over 1,000 Hz.

  • Music Option: Instead of the pure tones of the internal generators, external music can be applied through the electrodes.

  • Innovativeness: Unique patent-in-process Quadripolar Treatment Head carries four electrodes, Low Energy Photon Biostimulation, Neodymium magnets and mechanical vibrator. Stereo-dynamic modulation.

  • Protection: Stimulator is R.F. and microwave protected. Proprietary dynamic surge suppression circuit eliminates ON/OFF transients.

  • Versatility: Optimal penetration adjustable by patient or therapist using the three controls (intensity, amplitude modulation (A.M.), and frequency modulation (F.M.).

  • Ruggedness: Cases and knobs are made of hardened fire-proof ABS plastic.

  • Safety: Class II Isolated 12 volt power supply, U.L. and C.S.A. approved.

  • Subtle Energies: Built-in radionic circuitry. As with all of our equipment, it also contains components and circuitry to shield against noxious miasmic energy.
