In 1957 Mettler Electronics Corp. revolutionized the therapeutic ultrasound industry with the Sonicator®. Portable and lightweight, it was the first of its kind. Still today, the Sonicator is the standard in therapeutic ultrasound devices. All Sonicator devices feature detachable applicator cables, continuous and pulsed modes, built-in applicator cradles and a two-year limited warranty, one-year on applicators and cable.
Since the first ME 200 muscle stimulator was introduced in 1973, The Sys*Stim® line of electrical neuromuscular stimulators has provided value. Each Sys*Stim stimulator is easy-to-use and has a variety of features that include today’s most popular waveforms, programmable output modes and portability.

A newly added product category for Mettler Electronics advances the fight against pain using a therapeutic infrared laser that directs pain–relieving light deep into tissues. Super luminous diodes are also available to treat larger areas with soothing infrared light. Both forms of light energy produce temporary increases in blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness, relaxation of muscles and temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.
The Mettler Traction Decompression (MTD) system provides static and intermittent traction. It gently pulls the cervical spine or lumbar spine in opposite directions to draw the soft tissue around the cervical or lumbar joints and separate the distance between bone sections of the vertebra. This helps relieve peripheral radicular pain associated with: protruding discs, spinal root impingement, bulging discs, hypomobility, herniated discs, degenerative joint disease, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, posterior facet syndrome, compressions fracture, acute facet problems, radicular pain, discogenic pain and prolapsed discs.

Cavitator Ultrasonic Cleaners come in five sizes, designed to fit your cleaning needs. These cleaners generate ultrasonic waves that create millions of tiny bubbles through the process of cavitation. The bubbles gently clean and polish any surface they come in contact with, penetrating every nook and cranny to dislodge trapped dirt and debris. Medical instruments, glassware, even jewelry are quickly restored to their original lustrous finish without expending any effort. The gentle cleaning action is ideal for delicate items, too.

All Mettler ultrasound devices offer two patented technologies. Direct Crystal-to-Patient contact and our Universal Applicator Cable. All Sonicator® ultrasound applicators feature unique crystal-to-patient technology that delivers ultrasound directly to the patient without a metal interface as well as watertight characteristics for underwater therapy. Our unique Universal applicator cable is the only truly detachable cable on the market. It detaches from both ends of the cable allowing the clinician to change applicators quick and easily. Both of these patented features cut down on service time as well extending the overall life span of the device.
