VQ Orthocare Introduces Avid IF 2 to Product Lineup

VQ OrthoCare, a provider of non-invasive, non-drug medical solutions focused on bone, joint and soft-tissue conditions, has introduced the Avid IF 2 to its lineup of electrotherapy products.

The new portable interferential device is a safe pain management system designed to relieve acute pain, manage chronic pain, relax muscle spasms, maintain range of motion and increase circulation.

The Avid IF 2 electrical stimulator generates small pulses of current that are delivered through lead wires to stimulating electrodes placed on the patient’s skin; these pulses pass through the skin and activate underlying nerves. The Avid IF 2 activates sensory nerves at lower levels of stimulation, producing a tingling sensation, which blocks out pain messages. Motor nerves are activated a higher levels of stimulation, resulting in increased circulation, reduced muscle spasms and promotes recovery.

Interferential therapy is a recommended treatment option by Official Disability Guidelines, according to the company. The device allows for web-based compliance reporting through the recording and uploading of detailed usage data to a secure website via a cradle with modem. This data assesses the patient’s progress and assists the treating physician in determining further treatment.

The Avid IF 2 system includes non-sterile, reusable electrodes; lead wire, Power Packs (batteries); patient manual; adhesive remover towelettes; AC adapter; telephone cord with splitter and cradle with modem.

The Avid IF 2 is available by prescription only.

Founded in 1989 and based in Irvine, Calif., VQ OrthoCare’s products include SurgiStim4; OrthoStim4; Catalyst-Elite, Catalyst-Propel and OActive knee bracing; Fast Start EMS and HVPC; VQ Vector and the BioniCare system.
