Introducing the Chattanooga® Intelect® Legend 2 & Intelect® Transport 2

In February, Enovis™ announced the launch of the Chattanooga® Intelect® Legend 2 and Intelect® Transport 2 devices. These two products build on the legacy of Chattanooga electrotherapy products known for their durability and reliability as staples in the sports medicine and rehabilitation community for over 70 years. 

Dating back to the origins of the Chattanooga brand in 1947, Enovis has focused the design of the Intelect Legend 2 and the Intelect Transport 2 around two basic tenets – helping patients not only recover from injury but return to activities of daily living in less time and allowing clinicians to devote more time to their patients. 

The Intelect Legend 2 and Intelect Transport 2 are powered by Variable Muscle Stimulation (VMS) – a proprietary waveform exclusive to Chattanooga electrotherapy products. VMS is a symmetrical biphasic waveform offering several advantages over other waveforms when treating patients with neuromuscular electrical stimulation. VMS has been shown to elicit greater muscle contractions without impacting patient comfort when compared to the commonly used Russian waveform.1 VMS has also been shown to produce less muscle fatigue which can lead to more effective strength training sessions.2 For more information on VMS, check out our latest webinar VMS for NMES: Uncovering Advantages Over Russian Waveform, or our new VMS White Paper, courtesy of Enovis key opinion leader James Bellew, PT, EdD, MS.* 

In addition to significant evidence supporting the benefits of VMS,1,2 the Intelect Legend 2 provides clinicians with the ability to set up treatment in just three button pushes with its easy-to-use Suggested Protocol Settings (SPS) menu to reduce patient setup time. The Intelect Legend 2’s built-in SPS menu allows clinicians to confidently set up appropriate treatments based on suggested, evidence-based protocols for the indication and the patient’s condition.
