Texua pairs EMS and TENS in the EMS+4, a mains-powered electrotherapy console for physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinics. The datasheet lists four EMS suction cup electrodes, four TENS adhesive patches, a stimulation frequency of 1 to 150 Hz, an energy setting from 1 to 20, a 100 W power rating, and a 10.4-inch touch screen. It publishes no output current, output voltage, waveform, pulse duration, channel count, suction pressure, treatment timer or battery.

Two electrode systems on one console shape every setup. Suction cups hold without straps and go on fastest over large, flat areas such as the thigh or shoulder girdle, while adhesive patches stay put on smaller, contoured sites. Each system brings its own routine. Reusable cups are cleaned between patients, and adhesive patches are normally kept for one patient and replaced once they stop sticking. Stimulation needs two electrodes to complete a circuit, so the kit amounts to two pairs of cups and two pairs of patches, and the sheet does not say whether both sets can run at the same time.

The unit is listed for 220 V at 50 Hz or 110 V at 60 Hz and weighs 4 kg. The photograph shows electrode holders on both sides of the console, a round control on the front panel and the Texua name printed beside it, and the written configuration describes none of them.

It measures 368 × 320 × 190 mm and ships in a 6.6 kg carton. UK business buyers can find the EMS+4 on Medigear.uk. Before ordering, ask the seller for the output current at each energy level, the waveform and pulse duration, the patch size and connector type for restocking, whether the cups draw suction from a pump, and confirmation that the 220 V build suits a 230 V supply.

Physiotherapy clinics and sports rehabilitation services are the natural home for the EMS+4, with muscle stimulation to strengthen muscles after surgery or injury and TENS for short-term pain relief, in line with NICE recommendations. Post-operative knee rehabilitation is the clearest fit, because the strongest trial evidence for muscle stimulation concerns quadriceps strength after anterior cruciate ligament surgery. Osteopaths, chiropractors and pain services that already use electrotherapy can apply the same console within their own scope of practice.

The two electrode systems practically divide the body. Suction cups suit the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and shoulder girdle, where a cup can seal quickly on a broad surface. Adhesive patches suit the forearm, wrist, knee and ankle, where contours break a seal. A clinician can therefore plan a session around the muscle group and choose the electrode system to match.

Screening comes before any electrode goes on. Staff should ask about pacemakers, defibrillators, and other implanted electronic devices; check skin integrity and sensation at the treatment site; and keep electrodes away from the front of the neck, the chest, and the eyes. The manufacturer's instructions for use should set out the full list of contraindications.

Hygiene and stock control run through the whole service. Reusable cups need cleaning between patients to a written procedure, patches need to be assigned to named patients, and replacement patches must match the lead wire connector. In an NHS trust, the unit passes through medical device management before first use, and in independent practice it joins the clinic's electrical safety testing schedule. The manufacturer provides the declaration of conformity and supporting certificates, and the seller supplies them to buyers.

Two electrode systems on one console

Four suction cups and four adhesive patches share one console, so a clinic can treat a broad muscle group and a small joint area without switching machines. Staff learn one interface and one set of screens for both kinds of treatment.

Cups that attach without straps

Suction electrodes hold themselves in place on broad, flat areas, speeding setup on the thigh or shoulder and leaving the patient free of bandages and straps. The cups are reusable, so the day-to-day waste from those sites is limited to whatever sponges the unit uses.

Patches for contoured sites

Adhesive patches follow the shape of a wrist, knee or ankle, where a cup would struggle to seal. They also let a patient move a little during a session without losing contact.

A frequency range that covers common TENS practice

Stimulation runs from 1 to 150 Hz. That span includes 100 Hz, the frequency most often reported in a 2022 analysis of the 381 trials behind the meta-TENS review, as well as the low rates used for muscle work.

Twenty energy levels

Intensity moves through 20 steps, which gives the clinician fine control during a session. The benefit depends on the output table behind those steps, so ask the seller for the current output delivered at each level.

A 10.4-inch touch screen

A 10.4-inch touch screen shows the settings, and the photograph suggests a body map on the interface for choosing treatment areas. Ask for a demonstration of the menus and any preset programmes before ordering.

A 4 kg console

At 4 kg, the unit moves easily between treatment rooms and sits on a small trolley or worktop. Its 368 × 320 mm footprint leaves space beside a couch for the electrode holders.

A light statutory load

Statutory duties include electrical safety testing, PUWER maintenance and training, and the general health and safety framework. No optical, radiation or pressure regime applies, so the paperwork for a new service stays short.

EMS suction cup electrodes

The sheet lists four suction cup electrodes for EMS. The sheet does not list their diameter, suction method, or whether sponges are supplied.

TENS adhesive patches

Four adhesive patches are listed for TENS. Their size, material and connector type are not published, and all three matter for restocking.

Stimulation frequency of 1 to 150 Hz

The published frequency range spans the low rates used to produce muscle contraction and the higher rates common in TENS. The sheet does not say whether the range differs between the EMS and TENS outputs.

Energy setting from 1 to 20

The energy scale has 20 steps with no unit attached. The output current, output voltage, and the test load behind each step are not published.

100 W power rating

The sheet lists 100 W without saying what it measures. For a stimulator, the figure most likely refers to mains demand, and the seller should confirm it.

10.4-inch touch screen

A 10.4-inch touch screen carries the controls. Language options, programme count, treatment timer and ramp settings are not described.

Electrode holders (photograph only)

The product photograph shows a rack of suction cups on the left side of the console and a holder for the patches on the right. Neither holder appears in the written configuration, so confirm whether both ship with the unit.

Front-panel control (photograph only)

A round control sits on the front panel in the photograph. Its function is not stated, and it may be a power switch or an intensity dial.

Suction mechanism

The datasheet does not say whether the console generates suction for the cups. Pump pressure, adjustment and any pulsed suction mode are not published.

Channel arrangement

The datasheet does not state the number of output channels or whether they run independently. Two electrodes complete each circuit, so the listed kit forms two pairs of cups and two pairs of patches.

Output waveform and pulse duration

Waveform shape and pulse duration are both missing from the sheet. Clinicians use both figures to set comfortable, effective stimulation, so request them with the output table.

Mains supply

Both a 220 V, 50 Hz version and a 110 V, 60 Hz version are listed. The UK needs the 50 Hz build with a rated input that covers 230 V, and no battery is listed.

Console dimensions and weight

The console measures 368 × 320 × 190 mm (36.8 × 32 × 19 cm on the sheet) and weighs 4 kg. The axis order is not stated.

Packing

The carton measures 556 × 462 × 290 mm, about 0.074 m³, and weighs 6.6 kg with the kit inside.

Visible branding

The photograph shows the Texua name printed on the front panel. Clinics that want neutral equipment in patient areas should confirm the finish supplied.

The EMS+4 gives a clinic two ways to deliver electrical stimulation from one 4 kg console: suction cups for broad muscle groups and adhesive patches for contoured sites. That setup shapes each session and the hygiene routine between patients, and it makes patch connectors a question to settle before the first restock. Evidence supports muscle stimulation for quadriceps strength after knee surgery and short-term pain relief from TENS. At the same time, NICE recommends against TENS for low back pain, chronic primary pain and osteoarthritis. The output current behind the 20 energy levels, the waveform, the channel count and the suction method all need confirming. Medigear.uk can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, staff familiarisation and service cover for UK business buyers ordering the EMS+4. Ask the seller for the output table, cleaning instructions, and the declaration of conformity with the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The datasheet gives the energy setting as a scale with no unit. Nerve and muscle stimulators are normally specified by output current or voltage into a stated load, together with pulse duration and waveform, and none of those figures is published here. Ask the seller for the output table behind each of the 20 levels before ordering, because intensity is what a clinician adjusts most often during a session.

Electrical stimulation is measured in milliamps at the electrode, so the 100 W figure most likely describes the console's mains demand, although the datasheet leaves that unstated. The unit is listed for 220 V at 50 Hz or 110 V at 60 Hz. UK mains runs at a nominal 230 V and 50 Hz, so the 220 V build is the one to order, provided its rated input covers 230 V. Confirm the rating, the fuse, and the lead or plug supplied at quotation.

The channel count is not published. Two electrodes complete one circuit, so four suction cups and four patches could form two pairs of each, and the model name hints at four outputs without confirming it. Ask whether each pair has its own intensity control and whether the cups and patches can run together on one patient. The answer decides how many body areas a clinician can treat in one session.

The datasheet names the cups but doesn't describe how they hold. Clinical suction electrodes usually rely on console-generated suction and moistened sponges inside each cup to carry current to the skin. Ask whether the EMS+4 creates its own suction, whether that suction can be adjusted or pulsed, what cup diameter is supplied and whether sponges are included.

Reusable suction cups and any sponges used with them need cleaning after every patient, according to a written procedure, with sponges replaced or disinfected as the instructions allow. Adhesive patches are normally reserved for a single patient and stored on their backing sheet between sessions. Lead wires and the touch screen need to be wiped down as part of the same routine. Request the manufacturer's cleaning instructions and the list of compatible disinfectants before the unit goes into service.

That depends on the lead wires. Adhesive electrodes connect through either a 2 mm pin, which is the most widely used fitting on TENS equipment, or a 3.5 mm snap. The sheet doesn't list the patch size or connector type, so confirm both before ordering and match replacement stock to them. A clinic running several sessions a day will get through patches steadily, so plan the restocking cycle alongside the purchase.

A 2022 systematic review of 381 randomised trials found that pain intensity was lower during or immediately after TENS than with placebo, on moderate-certainty evidence. Adverse events were poorly reported in those trials and were generally mild. NICE takes a narrower view: its guidelines recommend not offering TENS for low back pain with or without sciatica, for chronic primary pain or for osteoarthritis. Clinics should match TENS use to the conditions those guidelines leave open.

A 2025 meta-analysis of 11 randomised trials after anterior cruciate ligament surgery found that neuromuscular electrical stimulation added to physiotherapy improved quadriceps strength over physiotherapy alone, with better results when stimulation started within a week of the operation. The same review found no pooled difference in knee function on the Lysholm score. NICE guideline NG226 advises against neuromuscular electrical stimulation for osteoarthritis. Muscle stimulation therefore fits best as part of a structured strengthening programme after surgery or injury.

Guidance on TENS singles out patients with implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators, electrode sites over the front of the neck, across the chest, near the eyes and over broken skin, and areas with reduced sensation. Many services also avoid the abdomen and pelvis during pregnancy. The manufacturer's instructions for use should list the full contraindications, and the clinic's own protocol should adopt them before the first patient.

No optical radiation or pressure regulations apply to an electrical stimulator of this kind. The statutory side covers electrical safety testing under the clinic's maintenance policy, suitable maintenance and training under PUWER 1998, and the general duties of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Whether the service itself needs registration with a provider regulator depends on who treats and what they treat, not on the device.

The particular standard is IEC 60601-2-10, which covers nerve and muscle stimulators, including TENS and EMS and was last amended in 2023. It sits alongside the general safety standard IEC 60601-1 and the EMC standard IEC 60601-1-2, adopted in the UK as BS EN standards. The declaration should also state the intended purpose, because a muscle stimulator sold for cosmetic toning is a different regulatory product from one placed on the market to treat patients.
