• Microcurrent

Solaris Plus also provides Fixed Frequency IFC/Premod capability.

The appropriate waveform, treatment parameters, and number of channels depend on the clinician's treatment protocol and the needs of the facility.

 

Independent Treatment Setups

A notable feature of the Solaris Plus platform is the ability to configure independent stimulation treatment setups.

This can be useful in busy clinical environments where flexibility is important and clinicians need access to multiple treatment channels from one system.

Dynatronics also designed the Solaris Plus interface to simplify treatment setup. Treatment parameters are displayed on the system interface and can be adjusted through the controls according to the selected modality and treatment configuration.

 

Dynatron TARGET Touchpad

The Solaris Plus platform includes Dynatronics' TARGET touchpad for interferential stimulation.

The feature allows the clinician to adjust the center of interference by moving across the TARGET touchpad rather than repositioning electrodes each time an adjustment is needed.

Solaris Plus systems also incorporate electrode conductance meters and customizable treatment parameters as part of the electrotherapy platform.

 

Solaris Plus 706: Dedicated Five-Channel Electrotherapy

The Dynatron Solaris Plus 706 is the dedicated electrotherapy model in the current Solaris Plus lineup offered by Total Rehab Solutions.

It provides up to five stimulation channels and the Solaris Plus electrotherapy capabilities without integrated therapeutic ultrasound.

The 706 can also be expanded with compatible optional TriWave Light Therapy or ThermoStim accessories.

A facility may consider the Solaris Plus 706 when:

• Five-channel electrotherapy is the primary requirement
• The clinic already has adequate therapeutic ultrasound equipment
• Integrated ultrasound is not needed
• Future TriWave Light Therapy capability is desirable
• Future ThermoStim capability is desirable

The system provides 1, 2, and 3 MHz ultrasound from its compatible 5 cm² soundhead, allowing clinicians to select among three ultrasound frequencies without changing soundheads.

The 709 also includes ComboPlus capability and can support optional TriWave Light Therapy and ThermoStim accessories.

A facility may consider the Solaris Plus 709 when:

• Both electrotherapy and therapeutic ultrasound are needed
• Five stimulation channels are desirable
• Access to 1, 2, and 3 MHz ultrasound is important
• A combination therapy platform fits the clinic's workflow
• TriWave Light Therapy may be added
• ThermoStim may be added
• Consolidating multiple capabilities into one platform is preferred

1, 2 & 3 MHz Therapeutic Ultrasound

One of the primary differences between the Solaris Plus 706 and 709 is the 709's integrated therapeutic ultrasound capability.

The Solaris Plus 709 supports 1, 2, and 3 MHz ultrasound through its 5 cm² ultrasound soundhead. This allows the clinician to select among the three available frequencies from the same system and soundhead.

According to Dynatronics, a 5 cm² soundhead is included with the purchase of a Solaris Plus ultrasound unit.

Facilities that do not need integrated ultrasound can instead consider the 706, while clinics seeking both electrotherapy and ultrasound from one Solaris Plus system can consider the 709.

 

What Is Dynatron TriWave Light Therapy?

Dynatron TriWave Light Therapy is an optional capability for compatible Solaris Plus systems.

TriWave provides red, infrared, and blue wavelengths. Each wavelength can be used individually or in combination, creating seven available wavelength combinations.

Two TriWave accessory configurations are available through Total Rehab Solutions:

• DCP3 TriWave Light Therapy Probe
• DLP3 TriWave Light Therapy Pads

These accessories are sold separately from the Solaris Plus 706 and 709.

 

DCP3 TriWave Probe vs. DLP3 TriWave Light Pads

The appropriate TriWave accessory depends largely on the treatment area and preferred application method.

Feature	DCP3 TriWave Probe	DLP3 TriWave Pads
Application	Handheld	Hands-off pad application
Coverage	Smaller targeted areas	Broader areas
Treatment Area	6 cm²	Two 5" x 7" pads
Wavelengths	Red, infrared & blue	Red, infrared & blue
Wavelength Combinations	7	7
Requires Compatible Solaris Plus	Yes	Yes

The DCP3 is a handheld probe designed for more targeted application and provides a 6 cm² treatment area.

The DLP3 includes two 5" x 7" light pads. The pads can provide broader coverage, be positioned around a joint, be used on two separate areas, or be placed side-by-side for a larger treatment area.

Protective eyewear is required when using Dynatron TriWave Light Therapy.

 

What Is the Dynatron ThermoStim Probe?

The Dynatron ThermoStim Probe DTSP1 is another optional accessory for compatible Solaris Plus systems.

ThermoStim combines three capabilities in one handheld tool:

• Heat or cold
• Electrical stimulation
• Soft-tissue mobilization

The probe provides a temperature range of 35°F to 112°F and can reach its target temperature in less than 60 seconds.

Its multi-surface head incorporates different surfaces, edges, and corners for soft-tissue mobilization.

ThermoStim can operate with six compatible stimulation modalities:

• Premodulated
• Interferential
• Biphasic
• Russian
• Microcurrent
• High Volt

The ThermoStim Probe requires a compatible Solaris Plus system and is sold separately.

 

Solaris Plus Cart & Accessories

Facilities building a Solaris Plus treatment station can also add the Dynatron Solaris Plus Cart D71CART.

The cart includes three large storage drawers and is designed with a low center of gravity for a stable mobile equipment setup.

Other Solaris Plus accessories can include compatible lead wires, electrodes, ultrasound accessories, TriWave accessories, ThermoStim, and other supplies depending on the selected system and treatment setup.

Because accessories and configurations can vary, facilities should verify what is included with the selected Solaris Plus system and which items are sold separately before ordering.

 

Optional Battery Operation

Both the Solaris Plus 706 and 709 can support optional battery operation.

This may be useful for facilities that need greater flexibility in equipment placement or want to move the system between treatment areas without relying exclusively on a nearby electrical outlet during operation.

Battery availability and configuration should be confirmed when ordering.

 

Dynatron Solaris Plus Specifications

The Solaris Plus 706 and 709 share the same basic equipment dimensions and weight.

Dimensions	18.5" W x 4.0" H x 12.0" D

Neither configuration is universally appropriate for every facility. Equipment selection should be based on the clinic's treatment services, existing equipment, clinician requirements, available space, and plans for future modality expansion.

 

Building an Expandable Solaris Plus Treatment Platform

One of the primary reasons to consider Solaris Plus is the ability to build around a common professional treatment platform.

A facility could begin with the electrotherapy capabilities of the 706 or the electrotherapy and ultrasound capabilities of the 709, then add compatible accessories according to its needs.

Potential additions include:

• DCP3 TriWave Light Therapy Probe
• DLP3 TriWave Light Therapy Pads
• DTSP1 ThermoStim Probe
• Solaris Plus Cart
• Optional battery configuration
• Compatible electrodes, lead wires, and other treatment accessories

This can be particularly useful when a facility wants to plan equipment purchases around both current treatment requirements and future expansion.
