ISO-Flex Stimulator

The ISO-Flex is an optically isolated stimulation isolator, offering great flexibility thanks to its ability to operate in constant current or constant voltage mode.

It is powered by a 9 V battery for operation and can use an interchangeable high-voltage battery (up to 90 V or more) (9 V to 100 V), making it adaptable and future-proof.

It can be coupled to a second isolator to generate bipolar pulses.

Features of the ISO-Flex Stimulator

  • Complete optical isolation between input and output, for minimal noise
  • Switchable mode between constant current and constant voltage via CURRENT/VOLTAGE selector switch
  • Possibility of generating bipolar pulses by linking two ISO-Flex units
  • Scalable output of up to 90 V voltage or 10 mA current over three selectable ranges
  • Flexible power supplies: supplied with a standard 9 V battery and a 90 V battery
  • Designed to mount close to the preparation to minimise cable artefacts
