I-Tech T-ONE REHAB Notice D'utilisation page 105

The ionophoresis treatment exploits the polarity
(negative or positive) that characterizes a specific
drug, selected on the basis of the therapy to be
conducted. When this drug is applied to the
electrodes and the treatment starts, the issued
current by the electrodes acts in such a way as to
convey the drug's ions from one electrode (also
called polo) to the other, therefore as to cross
the location affected by the disease and then
release the specific active ingredient.
