CareTec IV 4-in-1 Combo with TENS, EMS, Interferential, & Russian Stim + Free A/C Adapter Included

Ordered this after using a hospital treatment model in Physical Therapy. Have experienced good benefits from continuing to use this treatment. It can be a little bit difficult to get to the right program and get it started, but it works just fine.

This works great. I bought it to continue with therapy. It’s the same as if I was there. I definitely recommend this unit.

Unit arrived intact as described in a timely fashion. I was very excited to find a quality unit under $100 USD that had EMS and Russian modes (both suggested by Ortho and PT for home use). I’ve been using this unit for a couple months to help address dropfoot from nerve damage a couple years ago (necessitates an AFO in order to wear shoes). I’d not been using a stimulator for about a year since my insurance wouldn’t cover a new one, prices varied widely, and I was a bit leery of ordering something like this online. Had I realized the ordering process would be so stress free with TENSpros I probably would have order this March 2019 instead of waiting until November 2020. This unit is superior to the simpler NMES unit my insurance company provided me with a few years ago (before they no longer covered them under my durable medical benefit). It also the added bonus of different stimulation modes, and the flexibility to be used with either 9V batteries OR the included adapter. I do think a longer cord on the adapter and/or a long term rechargeable battery (like those in some rechargeable electric razors, for example) would be a good option to have in future models. Otherwise, very lightweight and portable with an easy to ready screen and Lock Screen feature once program is running. This unit also beeps when your program has finished (as it can be relaxing to use, this feature comes in handy!). This thing totally eats disposable 9 volt batteries for breakfast (my last NMES did as well), so I prefer to use this while handy to a power outlet/power strip. I keep my adapter in the living room by the couch so I can recline and use my stimulator at the same time. I’d suggest sticking to batteries for travel only, or going with rechargeable 9V (I have no recommendations as to rechargeable 9V batteries or chargers, as the adapter and occasional disposable battery do fine for my purposes).

I purchased this unit to replace one I'd had for six years and then dropped and broke it. The replacement appears to be identical to the first one. It works well just as the previous one did. I'm glad the product was still available when I needed a new one.

Product is amazing. Great Price, easy to figure out how to program, and easy to tote where you need with battery.

I have owned this unit now for over 5 years and it has preformed great and has never had a problem. I have a bad back problem and when I have increased pain from the nerve damage I apply this in IF mode and get relief with 30 min. I have loaned it out to several people and every one that has used it has bought one.

Machine works well. Would like to see a setting change ability to not have to press up each time, where you can hold the up button for intensity and it changes. But overall it is a good unit.

My physical therapist started using Russian stim to rehab foot drop. I bought my own unit because it’s working! This unit is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use and reasonably priced. Satisfied customer!

This is the 3rd portable unit I've had. Use it for muscle stimulation for drop foot. It is BY FAR the best one I've had. Plenty of power and has easy to use settings. Other units I've had were so weak they provided almost no stimulation. No such problem with the CareTecIV.

Very good kit to have Unit has great power and is easily adjustable works great for lower back pain

My physical therapist recommended this unit. It works to relieve muscle tension. I think it helps a lot. Easy to use. Best to plug it in. 9v battery only lasts through 2 30 minute sessions.

Very easy to use and has enough power to help with the fibromyalgia pain and muscle tension. I wish there was a way to turn off the beeping sound it makes every time a button is pushed. Other than that I am very satisfied with this product.

highly recommended, I use this item as part of my home routine for PT. i follow what the PT does and the different regiments and it works. i have already recommended this item to a friend who also is recouping from an ACL surgery.

This little gem keeps me fascinated by the various modes and custom settings of operation possible. I derive positive effects that mitigate my pain and suffering and for that I give the device a high rating. In my opinion this device will fulfill the needs of many people who suffer from various causes of physical pain and discomfort.

This is an outstanding tens unit with 4 different settings; I love the IF setting. I am very happy with how strong I have the ability to turn the setting up.

This system is easy to use and does an exceptional job of pain relief. My physical therapist wanted to know where it was purchased and commented that it was comparable to, and in some ways superior to, the one he uses in his practice. I love it!

I bought this for muscle soreness and stiffness. I have a small TENS that has a few preset cycles and minimal intensity adjustment. I like that this one is completely user set. The intensity is great too. Some settings are too high! There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to adjusting the various settings and getting the level of stimulation you want. The instructions are detailed but plainly academic. The only con I have is that EVERY button press makes a loud beep. Other reviews have written about the same complaint. I opened mine up on day 2 and snipped the speaker wires.

Good. I like it. Shipping was good.

Awesome!!!!1

This unit works well and I use it often....Having the various types of stimulation on one device is a blessing . My spinal doctor said to use them allrandomly to keep the errant muscles confused. The only downside to this unit is it uses batteries at a very fast rate. I use rechargeable ones but I have to have a lot of them ready. I usually use this device while watvhing t tv. I have another device that is only battery operated TENS which I use when I need to be mobile... All in all this device is great.

Great equipment. Love it. Works for all levels of pain issues.

This product does exactly what it claims it can do. Make sure the right size pads are used according to the instructions that come with the unit.

Great value. I bought another similar unit but it did not have the Russian Setting. Compact and easy to use although the manual could be improved greatly to help you understand the different settings and to use it to it's maximum. Should have a metal clip rather than the plastic one that doesn't hold well. Beeping needs to be muted, it's annoying. All around, good machine.

I like the unit---it's versatile, easy to figure out, and works as designed. The pocket/belt clip needs to be made of spring steel for function and durability, rather than cheap plastic. The beep of the buttons should be able to be muted. besides these two items, it's a great unit, well worth the money!

Pros: Relieves the pain very well. Good price (value) - cheaper than competition. Free Shipping. Free AC adapter. Fairly well constructed - dropped mine a few times on carpeted floor with no problems - still works. Cons: Buttons hard to push. Not for the elderly that have arthritis in hands as buttons need to be pressed forcefully to change settings. Buttons are hard (noisy)click rather than a soft touch/press. Cannot disable annoying beeps when buttons pressed. Cannot make adjustments in church services or theaters as it is much too loud when you change settings (read as beep, beep, beep every time you press a button). Wish this unit was a hybrid digital/analog controlled unit so that you can dial in more accurate sensitivity settings. Learning curve is rather steep with this product and I have two college degrees. Takes about 3 weeks to figure out all the ins and outs of the settings.
