The nerves are the so-called wires of the body. Part of the nervous system, they are like an elongated bag of salty water. They are the ones which carries messages from the brain to the muscles. They also transmit messages from sensors back to the brain.

A medical supply nerve stimulator is a device that provides certain amount of electrons to depolarize a nerve. The number of electrons supplied should be equal to the amount of current.

The medical supply nerve stimulator restores muscles, builds up weakened or injured muscles, decreases muscle spasms, enhances range of motion, lessens or gets rid of muscle atrophy, re-educates rehabilitating muscle and enhances local blood circulation.

Types of medical supply nerve stimulator:

Changing Resistance. For this kind, the connection between the skin and the electrodes is not constant. There are two ways a medical supply nerve stimulator responds to this change. It’s either with a constant current or a constant voltage. This gives us the equation: Voltage = Current X Resistance.

Constant Current medical supply nerve stimulators. With this type of medical supply nerve stimulator, the stimulation of the nerve remains constant. This is considered as the safer device to use compared to the others, but also expensive to build.

Constant Voltage medical supply nerve stimulators. This maybe the easiest and the cheapest to make but with this kind of medical supply nerve stimulator, the voltage remains constant when resistance increases then the current must decrease. The result is poor nerve stimulation and the muscle contraction becomes depressed.

Medical supply nerve stimulators are certainly helpful for it also functions as a treatment for epilepsy and depression.
