The development of pain relief devices has become an important preoccupation for scientists these days, and the device praised as the first chronic pain control unit, namely the Infrex Plus 400 from MedFaxx, has just hit the market.

Portable devices can be used at home, rather than hospital, and can be worn for treatment anytime, anywhere, including at work, and the Infrex Plus unit means that those individuals suffering from agonizing pain can now self-treat without the use of narcotics, at home or work, whenever needed.

 

MedFaxx has announced the release of the first FDA approved, insurance reimbursable unit that combines the most used form of electrotherapy in the world clinically for chronic pain, interferential with TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), which is the most used form of electrotherapy for chronic pain outside the clinic.

 

The benefit of interferential is immediate pain relief that provides 'carryover' pain relief that can last for hours, days, and sometimes weeks. The disadvantages however, at least until the launch of the Infrex Plus 400 device, is that it's a rather expensive procedure that could only be done in clinics.

 

With the release of the new combination unit, a patient can treat at home, work, or wherever pain starts, whenever it starts. The patient is no longer dependent upon scheduling an appointment, being denied treatment by the insurance company, or having to take time off from work to get relief. The new unit is small, yet powerful enough for the patient to wear/carry and use it during breaks or on the job to self treat.

 

The breakthrough is the result of a new-patented engineering technology that allows the use of portable, rechargeable batteries that can sustain enough energy for the patient to receive up to two treatments using only the battery system. In most settings, it is preferred the unit be plugged into a wall outlet with the AC adapter.
