ACTIVApatch® Iontophoresis Patches | IntelliDose™ 2.5, IontoGo™ 4.0 and IontoGo™ 12.0

ACTIVApatch® Iontophoresis Patches

Choose the ACTIVApatch® iontophoresis patch that best fits your treatment workflow, patient schedule, and dose-delivery preference. Available from Balego, this ACTIVApatch® collection brings together three self-contained, single-use iontophoresis patch options: IntelliDose™ 2.5, IontoGo™ 4.0, and IontoGo™ 12.0.

Each patch is designed for wireless iontophoresis without an external controller, wires, dose controller, charging station, or saline activation. The main difference is treatment speed: IntelliDose™ 2.5 is the fastest and most concentrated option; IontoGo™ 4.0 offers a practical short-wear 4-hour format; and IontoGo™ 12.0 provides extended 12-hour delivery for longer wear.

Product Overview

ACTIVApatch® iontophoresis patches are disposable, wearable, self-powered delivery devices used in professional rehabilitation, physical therapy, sports medicine, and athletic training settings. These patches are commonly selected when clinicians want a localized iontophoresis delivery option without the setup burden of traditional wired systems.

Why Choose ACTIVApatch® Iontophoresis Patches?

Self-Contained Wireless Design

ACTIVApatch® products are designed to operate without external machines, controllers, battery packs, lead wires, or clinic dosing stations. This makes them practical for busy outpatient therapy clinics and athletic training environments.

No Saline Required

Each option is designed for no-saline activation, reducing setup steps and helping minimize preparation variability between clinicians and locations.

Multiple Treatment-Time Options

Choose the patch duration that best matches the patient schedule and clinical workflow:

• IntelliDose™ 2.5 for fast treatment windows

• IontoGo™ 4.0 for short-wear 4-hour treatment

• IontoGo™ 12.0 for extended-wear 12-hour treatment

Designed for Patient Mobility

These are wearable patches, allowing patients to remain mobile during treatment according to facility protocol and device instructions.

Workflow-Friendly for PT, Sports Medicine & Athletic Training

The patches are especially useful in settings where appointment time, athlete availability, and easy setup matter.

Product Descriptions

ACTIVApatch® IntelliDose™ 2.5 — SKU NC89188

ACTIVApatch® IntelliDose™ 2.5 is the fastest option in this ACTIVApatch® comparison. It is a disposable, single-use, self-contained iontophoresis patch designed to deliver either 40 mA-min in about 1.25 hours or 80 mA-min in about 2.5 hours.

The IntelliDose™ 2.5 uses an intelligent microprocessor that measures skin resistance during treatment and includes SmartPower™ LED feedback so clinicians and patients can quickly see device status. It is a strong choice when speed, precision, and treatment feedback matter.

Best for:

• Fast treatment windows

• Athletic training and high-traffic clinic schedules

• Clinicians who want visual status feedback

• 40 mA-min or 80 mA-min dosing flexibility

• Settings where treatment may need to be completed quickly

ACTIVApatch® IontoGo™ 4.0 — SKU NC89189

ACTIVApatch® IontoGo™ 4.0 is a single-use, self-powered, wearable iontophoresis patch designed for a shorter treatment window than extended-wear patches. It delivers an 80 mA-min dose in about 4 hours.

The IontoGo™ 4.0 includes SHUNT® auto shutoff, which turns the patch off after the preset treatment is complete. It is a practical choice for clinics and athletic training rooms that want a predictable 4-hour treatment window without external wires, machines, or saline.

Best for:

• 4-hour treatment workflows

• Outpatient therapy clinics

• Sports medicine and athletic training settings

• Patients who need mobility during treatment

• Clinicians who prefer SHUNT® auto shutoff

ACTIVApatch® IontoGo™ 12.0 — SKU NC89191

ACTIVApatch® IontoGo™ 12.0 is the extended-wear option in the ACTIVApatch® family. It delivers an 80 mA-min dose over approximately 12 hours, using a self-contained power source that operates automatically after application.

The 12-hour delivery format is useful when a longer treatment window is preferred, when a patient cannot remain in the facility for multiple hours, or when the clinician wants a more spread-out delivery profile compared with shorter-wear formats.

Best for:

• Extended-wear treatment schedules

• Patients leaving the clinic after application

• Long-duration 80 mA-min delivery

• Gentle, spread-out delivery preference

• Mobility during longer wear time
