In 1993, Magstim developed the first repetitive TMS stimulator, called the Rapid, which has evolved and expanded into the Magstim Rapid² family range of stimulators. These stimulators deliver biphasic pulses, with single pulse, repetitive pulse, and theta burst stimulation (TBS) capabilities.
Rapid stimulators were the first stimulators on which intermittent and continuous TBS were investigated over the human cortex.¹
The Magstim Rapid² family of stimulators benefit from a proprietary Energy Recovery System that ensures the set intensity is maintained throughout protocols with no pulse decay, even during high powered TBS protocols.
Stimulation frequency up to 36Hz (11Hz at max power)
Stimulation frequency up to 60Hz (22Hz at max power)
Stimulation frequency up to 60Hz (25Hz at max power)
