High-Voltage Pulsed Current [HVPC] Theory, Use, & Parameters

The video tutorial explains the use of High Voltage Pulsed Current (HVC) in two main applications: tissue healing and edema control. It covers the importance of conservative care before using HVC, the insurance considerations, and the specific electrode placements for different wound phases. The tutorial also details the machine settings for both wound care and edema control, emphasizing the need for proper candidate selection due to the time-intensive nature of the treatment.
