Mectronic uses innovative Switching Real Time technology for Doctor Tecar™:
thanks to this important step forward in technology it is possible to reach high
power and increased therapeutic performance. Switching Real Time technology
has also allowed the dimensions of the device to be reduced. Doctor Tecar™ is
compact, high power, and easily transportable.

The Doctor Tecar handpiece has been designed for use in both capacitive and
resistive modes: the therapy can be set with a single command, without having to
change the applicator.

This important innovation has been made possible by the know-how which
Mectronic has gained over the years, designing and building the components of
its machines according to therapeutic results.

Ever increasing research and development, thanks to direct contact with therapists,
researchers, and those working in the sector - the driving force which guarantees
that Mectronic’s products meet the needs of both operators and patients.
Single Handpiece
Doctor Tecar features a single handpiece for both
capacitive and resistive modes. With one simple
command it is possible to change from one mode to
the other: simplicity and functionality in cutting-edge
therapeutic technology.
Bio-transfer System
Doctor Tecar features an innovative system for the
measurement of the quantity of energy transferred to the
tissues, which is shown on the display and communicated
with an acoustic signal. The system measures the energy
transferred to the tissue in the anatomical area being
treated, in relation to time and the power supplied.
This system allows the evaluation of the active hyperemia

and the resultant increase in the flow of electrolytes,
showing the variation in electrical impedance during
the treatment compared to the initial value, at rest.
The variation in impedance lasts until after the end of
the treatment, ensuring the correct and continuous
oxygenation of all tissue components which are treated.

greater control and personalisation

Doctor Tecar is a complete system, a flexible tool which is capable of best

supporting the day to day work of the therapist.
Thanks to Switching Real Time technology, Doctor Tecar features a range of
modes for therapy setting, as well as highly innovative functionality.

Timer and Joule Modes

The Doctor Tecar base mode allows the therapy to be set through the energy
transferred (Joule mode) and the treatment time (Timer mode).
ADJUSTABLE PULSED MODE:
Effective thermal control

During the treatment of pathologies involving skeletal
muscles during the acute phase, an excessive increase of
the effects of active hyperemia can cause vasodilatation
which leads to increases sensitivity in the pain receptors,
generating patient intolerance of the therapy.
To reduce this, Doctor Tecar features the Adjustable
Pulsed Mode. With this mode the energy supply is
carried out at regular time intervals.
favour correct cellular homeostasis. In this way unwanted
side effects such as increased pain can be avoided.
Furthermore, the Adjustable Pulsed Mode of Doctor
Tecar allows the operator to personally set the times for
supply and pause (TON and TOFF), guaranteeing made-
to-measure therapy for every patient. It is possible to
work in Thermal, Comfort Heat, and Heat-Free modes.

The pauses (TOFF) between one pulse and the next

(TON) allow the energy administered to the tissues to be
controlled, maintaining ‘comfort heat’ conditions which

The Avx Mode allows the integration of 3 new modes:

• Automatic Mode
• Automatic Pulsed Mode
• Transport Mode

With AVx mode tecar therapy will never be the same: with three new modes
designed to meet the needs of the therapist, Doctor Tecar transforms into a single
platform which is able to best support therapeutic activity.

The Automatic mode has been designed to allow the therapist to be free of the
manual use of tecar therapy: the special cable and three electrodes allow even
complex shaped areas of the body to be treated.
The Automatic Pulsed mode was created from the combination of the Automatic
and Adjustable Pulsed modes; a therapy which, thanks to pulsed supply, avoids
rises in temperature and allows a more focused treatment.
The Transport mode allows the deep absorption of active substances through the
energetic transfer of Tecar therapy.
AUTOMATIC MODE:
For static treatment set by the operator

Often during their day-to-day work the therapist needs to Automatic cable

AUTOMATIC PULSED MODE:
Static treatment with thermal control

From the combination of the adjustable pulsed and

automatic modes comes the ability to operate in
automatic pulsed mode: a treatment set by the operator
in which the energy is delivered in a constant impulse,
for which it is possible to set the duration of the delivery
and the pause (t on and t off).
Thanks to this mode the level of heat felt by the patient
is lowered.

The treatment is carried out using the special automatic

cable. By adjusting the impulses, it is possible to
personalize the treatment.
TRANSPORT MODE:
For the transdermal transfer of active substances

With Doctor Tecar Therapy™ it is possible to facilitate Dedicated library

the absorption of active substances through the skin.
This therapy, known as ‘transdermal vehiculation’ allows
a range of pathologies to be treated. It is a non-invasive
method which is able to transport active substances
contained in creams to depth, passing through the
barrier of the skin and reaching the seat of the problem.
By using active substances in creams together with the
energy transfer of Doctor Tecar you can get the benefits
deep beneath the skin, while reducing the quantity of
cream used thanks to greater absorption.
In the pathology library it is possible to find a section
dedicated to the use of Doctor Tecar for transdermal
transport, with therapeutic protocols which have been
studied to guarantee the maximum efficiency if the tre-
atment.
Depth of operation
Doctor Tecar allows the selection of the depth which the
active substance can reach: it is possible to set surface,
medium depth, and high depth treatments.

• Improvement of chronic pathologies
• Smaller quantities of active

• Faster recovery of movement
