Company Profile
Company
The evolving market presents interesting prospects, unexpected problems and continuous challenges. These new scenarios offer real opportunities. Tradition, culture and innovation have combined in our CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY and our men have joined their forces to create a circle.
a circle is a new way of coping at international level with a professionally growing market which poses completely new needs. Leading brands in the REHABILITATION field have joined in a circle to support the customer through the decision-making stages, from design up to commissioning, offering proposals, products and services designed to guarantee sure success.
And it’s exactly this strong motivation of the man integrated in a circle which transforms the commercial deed into the natural consequence of the
work done. Maximum attention and equal enthusiasm are paid to the technician who acquires an electronic system, as to the institute which requires a water rehabilitation complex or to the entrepreneur who entrusts us with the implementation of a turn-key centre. a circle, with its presence in thirty-five foreign countries, offers technical support and training before and after the sale, thus opening and
closing a circle with full assumption of responsibility. Close relations with universities, opinion leaders and manufacturing companies represent our foundations.
The acknowledgements and success achieved up until today, after over twenty-five years of activity of the founders, are a guarantee for our future commitment towards a concept of GLOBAL HABILITATION.

Electrotherapeutic Bath Tub
T-UWM/E tub allows to provide
ways of treatment
- electrotherapy treatment,
- underwater massage.
Electrotherapeutic treatment in water has
positive effect on various tissues and
human body systems. It influences nervous
system and improves function of circulatory
system. Based on which area and what
therapeutic effect is expected, therapist can
set polarity for one of 9 electrodes mounted
on the tub walls and select: galvanic,
diadynamic or faradic current. All parameters
are set on easy operated electronic panel.
Underwater massage tub can be performed with
hose with exchangeable nozzles or system of jets fixed
on the tub walls (option).
Four-Cell Bath
The Four-Cell Bath allows three kinds of treatment to
be performed in the water environment:
- electrotherapy treatment (model: T-4K/E),
- alternate treatment (model: T-4K/N),
- combination of the above (model: T-4K/EN).
Electrotherapeutic treatments in the water produce
beneficial effects on various systems (nervous, circulatory)
of the human body. The Four-Cell Bath allows treatment
to be concentrated on a specific area of the body (lower
or upper limb, one side of the body). According to the
indications, the therapist can set the polarity of the electrode
located in each cell and choose between galvanic, diadynamic and faradic
current. All parameters are entered via a user-friendly electronic panel.
Alternating treatments use water to induce thermal stimuli on the limbs
submerged in upper and lower cells with the purpose of stimulating
reactions in the circulatory system. The duration of the stimulation,
the water temperature and the number of cycles of cold/warm water can
be set by therapist.
Hubbard Tank
The Hubbard Tank has long been used
to allow patients requiring special care and
individual attention from therapist to exercise
in the water environment. Water provides
gentle resistance, helping patients to unweigh
and relax. The tank may also allow the patient to
start rehabilitation even when he is too weak to
exercise. To help these kind of patients, the T-MOT
is equipped with an overhead lifter allowing the patient
to be transferred from the wheelchair or bed into the
tank. The T-MOT can be optionally equipped with
an UWM system complete with hose and exchangeable
nozzles and/or a Hydrojet system.
Hydrojet Massage Tub
This Underwater Massage Tub allows a form of classic
massage to be performed in the water environment. The massage
helps the patient to relax resulting in a more effective treatment.
Optimum stimulation is achieved by proper adjustment of water
stream when massaging a specific area of the patient’s body. The
treatment proves particularly beneficial by applying the massage
via a series of jets fitted on the
sides and back of the tub.
This low-capacity tub is
designed to reduce water
consumption, while the
hydromassage function
relieves the personnel of any
extra work during the
treatment session. The T-MP
features an UWM hose with
exchangeable nozzles
(optional) ideally suited for
underwater massage treatments
on children.

Equipment compliant
with Directive 93/42/EEC
The Whirlpool model 1115T is a modern device designed for use
in physical therapy as well as in fitness and spa facilities.
The design of the tank allows the patient to sit inside, while the
treatment is applied to ankles, knees, hips and low back.
