Help your VA podiatry patients be more active
The science behind the RS-4i Plus is advanced. But actually using it to help make patients more ambulatory, and treat conditions like diabetic neuropathy and plantar fasciitis, is simple.
Unlike common over-the-counter TENS units, the device offers two powerful treatment options – interferential therapy (INF) for pain and neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) for muscle therapy.
NMES can be used on the muscles of the lower leg to stimulate blood flow while INF can be used on the foot to treat pain. This short video shows how patients treat the lower leg and foot with the RS-4i Plus.
Muscle fiber stimulation via pulse width control
Unlike other electrotherapy devices, the RS-4i Plus controls the width of the NMES waveform to stimulate a wider range of muscle fibers – from faster-twitch to slower-twitch fibers. Watch this brief video to learn more about this mechanism of action.
While highly advanced, this device is still easy for patients to use at home, anytime they feel pain. Maybe it’s time your patients felt the relief for themselves.

One-on-one patient instruction – the personal touch, even when conducted virtually
Individualized patient care is paramount to clinical success, especially when patients receive durable medical equipment intended to be used at home. RS Medical provides one-on-one patient instruction to every Veteran – either in-person at a clinic or remotely via video conference. This personal instruction helps produce a higher rate of compliance, a positive product experience and better clinical outcomes without burdening your medical staff.
RS Medical’s patient instruction sessions include:
Product customization to the patient’s clinical diagnosis and body shape.
Demonstration of how to use the product, including setup and battery charging.
A summary of the clinical benefits of using the product.
For stimulators: common electrode pad placement guidance, pad care tips and resupply instructions.
As an added advantage, questions about the device, wearables, usage or warranty may be directed to and handled by RS Medical Customer Service, not by your medical staff.
