The innovative Silver-Thera™ Stocking has been a prescription medical device for over 10 years. It has been used by thousands of patients and is now available without a prescription. It is a knitted garment electrode which conducts energy (electrotherapy) to the foot and leg. Energy is delivered into the Silver-Thera™ Stocking by the Micro-Z Mini™ Stimulator which promotes micro-circulation for pain relief. The Silver-Thera™ Stocking is highly conductive and is made of silver treated nylon fibers blended with Dacron® fibers. Electrotherapy over the past 50 years has been used by millions of patients as a very safe and effective treatment for pain. There are hundreds of clinical research studies reporting the effectiveness of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) for pain relief.
The Silver-Thera™ Stocking is soft and comfortable to wear. It is very durable and you can wash it! You should use the Silver-Thera™ Stocking daily while reading or watching TV. It is also recommended to use the Silver-Thera™ Stocking while sleeping to help relieve pain and get a better nights rest.
The Micro-Z and The Micro-Z MINI is a small, lightweight stimulator that allows patients to receive electrotherapeutic treatment in comfort. It is programmed for two treatment protocols, the first is a 30-minute daytime treatment and the second is an eight-hour nighttime treatment that is administered while the patient sleeps. The Micro-Z™ and The Micro-Z MINI™ can be used to treat acute and chronic injuries, to treat sources of pain, to increase circulation while improving range of motion, and to minimize soft tissue atrophy and injury. Its compact size and ease of use increases patient compliance and when used with Prizm's Electro-Mesh, Silver-Thera, and Stim Support garment electrodes, they offer opportunity for rapid patient recovery.
