Tecar Therapy applications with bipolar electrodes offer greater treatment dynamics and comfort, as they do not require the use of a return plate.

In the bipolar resistive system, the electrode consists of two small resistive electrodes of the same shape and size, which function respectively as the return plate and the resistive electrode.

For the patient, this results in a more comfortable treatment—for example, eliminating the discomfort of having to lie on a cold return plate under the abdomen during back treatments.

For the physiotherapist, it provides greater specificity in stimulating the target tissue and increased treatment flexibility, allowing the integration of therapeutic exercise and biological stimulation, which with the unipolar system was very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to achieve.
