RS-STIM is the world's first medical device developed to enable patients with swallowing difficulties to swallow food immediately. It provides superior rehabilitation therapy compared to conventional devices due to its simultaneous swallowing exercise. Additionally, it prevents food from being aspirated into the airway, making it suitable for future home use.

Restoration of hyoid bone movement

When electrical stimulation is applied by RS-STIM, immediate restoration of hyoid bone movement to its normal trajectory can be observed, enabling clinical assessment of disability improvement, thus overcoming limitations of conventional products

Rehabilitation

RS-STIM shows significant improvements in VDS, FOIS, PAS before and after use compared to conventional 2-channel medical devices.

4-channel electrical stimulation

RS-STIM utilizes 4 channels (C1, C2, C3, C4) to deliver sequentially patterned electrical stimulation, ensuring proper functioning of the patient's swallowing muscles and enabling immediate food consumption.

Patients with weak swallowing muscles

If the swallowing muscles are weak, you cannot swallow food immediately.

Using RS-STIM, it sequentially contracts the swallowing muscles strongly, allowing food to move down the esophagus quickly and forcefully.

Patients who aspirate food into the airway during swallowing

Patients with severe dysphagia symptoms can experience respiratory distress when food is aspirated into the airway during swallowing.

Using RS-STIM, it strongly and sequentially contracts the swallowing muscles to prevent being aspirated into the airway.

환자 피드백

  • 50대 남성
  • 증상: 뇌경색 / 연하장애
  • 상태: 평소 액체류 마실 때 연하제 섞어 삼키며, 목에 걸리는 느낌이 있음
  • PAS: 5점
  • 4채널 전기자극 세기(A): 9.5 / 9.5 / 8.5 / 12
순차적 전기자극의 치료에 대한 소감을 말씀해주시겠어요?
전기자극이 들어올 때 삼키니까 평소보다 잔여감이 덜 해요. 평소에 2/3 만큼 목에 남아 있다면 지금은 아주 조금 남아있는 정도에요.
기존 전기자극치료기(vitalstim plus)와 비교하여 어떤 것 같으세요?
기존 전기자극 치료기보다 자극이 잘 느껴지고, 근육을 꽉 조여주는 느낌이 더 들어요. 따가운 느낌은 없고 근육들을 꽉 짜주는 느낌만 있어요.
  • 40대 여성
  • 증상: 뇌출혈 / 연하장애
  • 상태: 얼굴 감각 저하로 음식물이 흐름
  • PAS: 5점
  • 4채널 전기자극 세기(A): 5 / 5 / 3.5 / 5
순차적 전기자극의 치료에 대한 소감을 말씀해주시겠어요?
지금 기기(rs-stim)가 더 세게 느껴져요. 근육을 쥐어 짜는 느낌이 더 강해요.
기존 전기자극치료기(vitalstim plus)와 비교하여 어떤 것 같으세요?
기존에 치료기는 목구멍이 뚫리는 느낌이 없는데 이 기계는 목구멍을 뚫어주는 느낌이에요. 삼키는데는 확실히 이게(rs-stim) 효과가 더 좋은 것 같아요. 그래서 기존의 기계는 삼키는데 오히려 방해가 되었는데 지금 기계는 음식을 잘 내려가게 도와주는 것 같아요.
