Micro-Z™ & Silver Conductive Garments

The Micro-Z Mini™ , Micro-Z II™ and Silver Conductive Garments offer a unique combination of support, enabling patients to have therapy where and when they need it. In the past, electrotherapy had been difficult to administer because of a lack of precision where to apply electrodes and loss of conductivity over time. Conductive Garments will deliver electrotherapy uniformly and consistently over the entire body part, providing deep-penetrating DC electric energy to the treatment area. Research supports that the micro-amperage delivered falls precisely within the narrow “biological waveband” of the body’s electromagnetic energy. Instead of merely masking pain, this micro-amperage electrochemically fuels the body’s natural healing mechanism, improving cell function, reducing edema, while increasing microcirculation aiding recovery from painful injuries or chronic disease. Using the copyrighted Micro-Z Mini™ software, patients select a treatment protocol and go about their business. Patient compliance and eagerness for treatment is quite high since the micro-stimulation delivered by the Micro-Z Mini™ is dosed below sensory. Our Conductive Garments are soft, comfortable to wear, washable, and are available in several forms such as gloves, sleeves, stockings, and can also be used with orthopedic bracing.

Therapy During the Day or While Sleeping…
Why Nocturnal Treatment?

The human body goes into a natural healing cycle when in a sleeping state.

  • 70% of growth hormones are produced during sleep.
  • Fibroblast cells are more active during sleep.
  • Micro-Z Mini™ promotes microcirculation while enhancing the body’s own healing process.

Microcurrent Electrotherapy

Microcurrent electrical stimulation more closely approximates the naturally occurring bio-electric current in the body. The current therefore is considered subsensory and cannot be felt. It provides "bio-stimulation" that stimulates cellular physiology and growth. It increases the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation, amino acid transport and protein synthesis. This causes the body to heal itself at a much faster rate.

It has long been known that all life processes involve electricity, and that biological processes can be affected by electrical treatment. The cells of the human body are basically tiny electrolytic batteries and microcurrents flow through the body in an orderly manner when there is no pathology present.

However, since injury disrupts the bio-electrical functions of the cells, the electrical activity of damaged cells is quite different from that of healthy ones. There is more electrical resistance in injured cells, so the normal energy flow through these cells is lower, impeding the healing processes and maintaining the presence of pain. If the electrical resistance of such injured cells can somehow be reduced, allowing the body's own electrical energy easy access to those cells, the health of the cells will improve. Inflammation may decrease, the healing process will be enhanced and pain can be lessened.

Traditional TENS versus Microcurrent Electrical stimulation

Traditional TENS

Micro-Z Microcurrent Therapy

“Blocks Pain”

“Therapeutically Mitigates Pain”

Stimulates the non-nociceptive large diameter nerve fibers, which blocks the pain coming from the nociceptive small diameter nerve fibers.

Small electrical charges can be helpful in initiating and perpetuating the numerous electrical chemical reactions in the healing process.

At the milliampere range, ATP generation was depleted, amino acid uptake was reduced up to 73% and protein synthesis was inhibited by as much as 50%.

At the microampere range, ATP generation increased about 500% and amino acid transport was increased by 30 to 40%.

Electricity will always take the path of least resistance. Traditional electrical charges placed on the body will travel around the traumatized cells.

A smaller current can penetrate the traumatized cells, balance the cell electrically, and can restore a more normal physiological state to those damaged cells.

Energy Load

Milliamps=slower ramp speed= poor skin penetration

Energy Load

Microamps=faster ramp speed= delivers current deeply through the tissues

Waveform

AC Current=biphasic=minimal potential on ion movement

Waveform

DC Current=monophasic=maximum potential on ion movement

What is the Micro-Z Mini™?

The Micro-Z Mini™ is an electronic medical device that generates gentle, pulsed direct current (DC). The Micro-Z Mini™ is unique and innovative because of its dual action benefit to users. First, it disrupts the painful condition known as multi-synaptic reflex arc. This is the pain-spasm-pain-spasm condition the human body goes through when sending pain signals to the brain. Second, the pulsed DC penetrates deep into the body, improving circulation at the source of pain to boost the body’s natural healing and recovery processes.

For Reducing Pain
The Micro-Z Mini™ can relieve pain to feet, legs, hands, knees, neck, and a host of other areas of the body that has aches, pains, and strains

For Soft Tissue Healing
The Micro-Z Mini™ can improve healing time for soft tissue injuries.

The Micro-Z Mini™ can significantly improve the healing of open wounds. Studies have shown doubled healing rates when using this device.

For Reducing Swelling
The Micro-Z Mini™ can significantly reduce swelling from soft tissue injuries. The sooner the therapy is applied after an injury, the more effective this therapy is in reducing post injury edema.
