The Circuplode is an advanced inductive electrode. It is provided with a Faraday screen that eliminates capacitive effects to give a virtually pure magnetic field. This means that no energy is absorbed in superficial fatty tissues, so that optimum treatment of deeper-lying tissues is obtained. This is in contrast to conventional inductive electrodes, in which the transfer of energy is limited by the capacitive currents in superficial (fatty) tissues.
Three special induction-electrodes have been developed for the Curapuls 670. They are provided with a Faraday screen to assure a low superficial thermal load. Because of this, no energy is absorbed into the superficial fatty tissues resulting in an efficient deep treatment. The electrodes for the Curapuls 670 are provided with lamps to indicate that power is being transmitted. If there is insufficient or no loss on a Circuplode, the Curapuls 670 senses this. The power is automatically reduced to a very low level until the load condition is corrected.
This feature controls the energy transfer to the patient.
