Electromagnetic / Inductive Therapy
One chair, two Zimmer systems, two different jobs.
What it is
Electromagnetic, or inductive, therapy passes a pulsed magnetic field through the skin to trigger involuntary muscle contraction, with no needle and nothing implanted. Zimmer builds two systems on this principle. ContiCure runs a pulsed inductive field of around 1.5 Tesla for pelvic floor training. ZTone is specified by Zimmer in output rather than field strength: more than 30,000 contractions in 30 minutes or less, across 8 channels and 16 electrodes.
ZTone and ContiCure share the same treatment chair, article 3211. A clinic already running ZTone for body toning can add pelvic floor work through ZTone's own incontinence upgrade kit, an applicator plus the same chair, without a second room. The reverse route works too, from ContiCure into ZTone. One chair, one room, two patient populations. Claims do not transfer between the two devices: ContiCure carries the Zimmer white paper below, ZTone's incontinence upgrade carries none of it.

FAQ
How long is a ZTone session?
Zimmer publishes a treatment of 20 to 30 minutes, taken lying down, with three training levels selectable per body region and two applicators that adjust independently.
What's the difference between ZTone and ContiCure?
ZTone tones muscle for body contouring. ContiCure trains the pelvic floor for incontinence. They share a chair, article 3211, not a clinical purpose.
Can a clinic run both from one chair?
Yes. ZTone's incontinence upgrade kit, an applicator plus the same chair, adds pelvic floor work without a second room.
Does the ContiCure white paper support a sexual-function claim?
No. The CIMEG Madrid study covers urinary incontinence only and contains no sexual-function claim.
What does a ContiCure session involve?
20 to 30 minutes, fully clothed, no downtime, with three interchangeable inlays. Zimmer recommends 8 to 10 treatments.
Is ContiCure indicated after prostatectomy?
Yes, post-prostatectomy incontinence is one of its published indications.
