DENTRON fm
acupuncture point detector and stimulator

The DENTRON FM is a revolutionary kind of acupuncture point detector and four-channel stimulator which puts a powerful new tool in the hands of the practitioner: FREQUENCY MODULATION.

The ergonomic handpiece can be used both as a detector and a stimulator probe, making the equipment equally suitable for the auricular and the whole-body acupuncturist.

Its dual-power settings mean that the DENTRON FM is equally at home as a TENS stimulator. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is an established method of relieving pain in a wide variety of conditions, including arthritic joints, strained backs, colitis and phantom limb pain.

Frequency Modulation simply means varying one frequency with another, and it

• INTRODUCES A NEW DIMENSION into electro-acupuncture
• COMBINES THE BENEFITS of both low- and high-frequency stimulation
• EMBRACES ALL BENEFICIAL FREQUENCIES without the need for individual tuning
• INCREASES PATIENT COMFORT by sweeping smoothly and continuously between frequencies instead of switching

SIMPLE OR COMPLEX? THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Of course the DENTRON FM also has all the facilities of an ordinary stimulator, with a basic output frequency variable between 70 and 133 pulses per second, and the capability of switching this on and off or alternating between high- and low-frequency stimulation up to ten times a second on all four completely independent channels. But FREQUENCY MODULATION opens up fresh horizons in the exploration of applying 21st-century Western science to the ancient practice of acupuncture.

MAKING WAVES
The waveform produced by the DENTRON FM is an asymmetric, biphasic, modified square wave, currently regarded as the most effective form of electro-stimulation – for all forms of acupuncture and for TENS as well. And unlike other stimulators, the DENTRON FM produces this waveform continuously to ensure optimum power transfer to the patient.

RANGING FAR AND WIDE
The DENTRON FM incorporates an exceptionally wide-range acupuncture point detector, avoiding the need for conductive gels or for pre-stimulation to “open up the channels”.

And the range of stimulation modes is equally varied:

1. NORMAL MODE generates a continuous signal variable in frequency between 70 and 133 Hz.
2. BURST MODE allows the base frequency to be switched on and off in short bursts at a rate variable between 1 and 10 Hz.
3. FM / ALTERNATE MODE switches the output alternately between two different frequencies, at an adjustable rate.
4. FM / SWEEP MODE continuously sweeps up and down between variable limits, also at an adjustable rate.

Its intuitive method of audio monitoring makes the DENTRON FM simplicity itself to use. And the internal rechargeable power source means the equipment is equally at home in the surgery or in domiciliary practice.
