IFT Machines

What Are IFT Machines?

IFT machines are electrotherapy devices that use controlled electrical currents delivered through electrodes placed on the skin.

IFT is commonly included in physiotherapy treatment plans where electrical stimulation is considered suitable. Different IFT machines offer different controls, programme options and configurations, allowing users to select equipment based on their clinical or home requirements.

At Physiogears, our range of IFT machines includes simple manual models as well as advanced programmable options with multiple preset programmes. This makes it easier to compare basic and feature-rich devices for different physiotherapy setups.

How Do IFT Machines Work?

An IFT machine delivers controlled electrical currents through electrodes positioned on the treatment area.

The selected settings determine how the stimulation is delivered. Depending on the configuration and individual response, treatment may produce a mild tingling or comfortable stimulation sensation.

The correct settings, electrode placement and treatment duration depend on the individual and treatment goal. Always use IFT machines according to the manufacturer’s instructions and follow professional guidance where required.

Types of IFT Machines

Physiogears offers several types of IFT machines, allowing users to choose based on treatment needs, space availability and preferred level of control.

Manual IFT Machines

Manual IFT machines are designed for users who prefer simple, direct control over treatment settings.

Physiogears offers both a Manual IFT Machine and a Mini Manual IFT Machine, available in electrode-pad and self-adhesive-pad configurations.

These models are ideal when a straightforward and practical IFT machine is required.

Mini IFT Machines

Mini IFT machines provide a compact solution for users with limited space or those who prefer a smaller physiotherapy device.

Physiogears offers mini manual IFT models as well as a Mini IFT 70 Program Machine. These are available in both electrode-pad and self-adhesive-pad options.

A compact IFT machine is suitable for small clinics, treatment rooms and guided home setups.

45-Program IFT Machines

45-program IFT machines offer a wider range of preset treatment options compared to manual models.

Physiogears provides 45-program IFT machines with both electrode-pad and self-adhesive-pad configurations.

These IFT machines are suitable for users who want more flexibility without moving to high-program models.

70-Program IFT Machines

For users needing more preset options, Physiogears offers 70-program IFT machines.

The range includes a Mini IFT 70 Program Machine, available in both pad configurations.

These IFT machines are ideal for physiotherapy environments requiring multiple preset treatment options.

125-Program IFT Machines

125-program IFT machines provide an extensive range of preset programmes for advanced use.

Physiogears offers a 125-program IFT machine with self-adhesive pads, along with a 3-in-1 IFT TENS MS 125 Program Machine with LCD Display, combining multiple therapies in one device.

These advanced IFT machines are suitable for professional physiotherapy setups requiring multiple treatment functions.

Combination IFT Machines

Physiogears also offers combination IFT machines that integrate multiple therapies in one device.

The range includes 3-in-1 IFT TENS MS machines, as well as models combining IFT with ultrasound, TENS and muscle stimulation.

Combination IFT machines are ideal for clinics that require multi-therapy functionality in a single unit.
