Physical therapy and rehab clinics run on modalities, not guesswork. A therapeutic ultrasound unit that loses calibration, an electrotherapy device with worn leads, or a traction table that isn't rated for daily clinical use turns a treatment plan into a liability. Mettler Electronics has been a fixture in the physical therapy equipment space for decades, and MediDepot carries the brand's core modality systems along with the applicators, electrodes, and accessories that keep them running, giving clinics a single source for both the equipment and the parts that support it long after the initial purchase.
What stands out about this collection is depth on the accessory side as much as the equipment side. Mettler doesn't just sell a Sonicator or a Sys*Stim unit; MediDepot's catalog includes the specific applicators, cables, electrodes, and cart accessories tied to each model, which matters for clinics maintaining older units or standardizing supplies across multiple treatment rooms.

Product Types
MediDepot's Mettler Electronics collection covers several distinct modality categories, each built around a core system and its supporting accessories.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
The Sonicator 740 Series (ME 740) is the collection's flagship therapeutic ultrasound system, supported by a wide range of applicators sized and tuned for different treatment areas, including 1 MHz, 3 MHz, and dual-frequency (1 and 3 MHz) options in 1 cm², 5 cm², and 10 cm² sizes. Applicators are available for the ME 740, ME 705, ME 706, ME 715-730, and Sonicator Plus 930/992/994 model families, along with a SonicTool IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) attachment. Sonigel ultrasound couplant gel and combination massage lotion support treatment delivery.
Electrotherapy and Neuromuscular Stimulation
The Sys*Stim 228 is a 2-channel neuromuscular stimulator, and the ME 211 TENS STIM 211 is an over-the-counter portable TENS and EMS combination unit. Supporting products include professional sponge electrodes and medical sponge inserts in four size variants, EZ-Trode self-adhesive electrotherapy electrodes, professional pencil electrodes, lead wire cable adapter sets, and a patient safety emergency switch for neurostimulators.
Shockwave and Trigger Point Therapy
The Sys Stim 695 platform includes a handpiece applicator, a point locator and trigger point handpiece, and Auto Wave 695 radial transmitters in multiple diameters (15 mm, 20 mm, and 36 mm) for shockwave therapy applications.
Diathermy
The Auto Therm diathermy line includes a 14 cm induction coil applicator head with cable, a multi-joint articulated arm, a special coaxial cable for the coil applicator, a securing strap for the diathermy drum, a coaxial cable for the drum applicator, a neon check light tester, and a mobile workstation cabinet for Auto Therm 391 systems.
Traction and Thermal Therapy
The collection includes a heavy-duty clinical cervical traction device, SlipStop traction blocks for patient positioning, a digital infrared heat lamp for thermal phototherapy, Durapak reusable hot and cold gel therapy packs, and ThermalSoft Pro standard back therapy sets.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Mettler's Cavitator ultrasonic cleaner line is supported by stainless steel tank covers, cleaning baskets sized for 3L, 6L, 10L, and 22L tanks, and Cavi-Clean ultrasonic cleaning detergent with a power-boosting additive.
Carts, Cabinets, and Accessories
A three-shelf mobile therapy cart, a mobile workstation cabinet, a sonicator treatment cart for ME 921 and ME 941 units, a professional electrotherapy travel bag sized for the 740, 740x, 228, and 240 models, and a memory foam face cushion for treatment tables round out the collection.
How to Choose the Right Product
Matching equipment to a clinic's modality mix depends on the treatments being delivered and the equipment already in service.
- Modality type. Decide whether the primary need is therapeutic ultrasound, electrical stimulation, shockwave therapy, diathermy, traction, or ultrasonic instrument cleaning before narrowing to a specific system.
- Applicator size and frequency. Ultrasound applicators are available in 1 cm², 5 cm², and 10 cm² sizes with 1 MHz, 3 MHz, or dual-frequency options; match applicator size to treatment area and depth requirements.
- Existing equipment compatibility. Many applicators, cables, and accessories are model-specific (for example, ME 740 applicators versus ME 705/706 applicators), so confirm compatibility with existing units before ordering replacement parts.
- Channel count for stimulation. The Sys*Stim 228 offers 2-channel neuromuscular stimulation; consider channel count against how many treatment sites need simultaneous stimulation.
- Portability needs. The ME 211 TENS/EMS combo unit and the professional electrotherapy travel bag suit clinics that need portable or take-home modality options.
- Cleaning tank volume. Ultrasonic cleaner accessories are sized for 3L, 6L, 10L, and 22L tanks; match basket and cover size to your existing Cavitator unit.
- Mobility and storage. Mobile carts and cabinets help clinics that rotate equipment between treatment rooms rather than keeping units fixed in place.

Smart Solutions for Equipment Purchasing
Modality equipment represents an ongoing relationship with a brand, not a single transaction, so it pays to think beyond the initial order.
- Standardize applicators and electrodes across treatment rooms where possible to simplify staff training and reduce the number of SKUs your clinic has to stock.
- Budget for consumables, including couplant gel, electrodes, and cleaning detergent, as part of your total cost of ownership rather than a separate line item.
- Plan for scalability if your clinic is adding treatment rooms or expanding service lines, factoring in additional carts, cabinets, and travel bags for portable modalities.
- Keep spare accessories on hand, such as lead wire cables and applicator cords, since these wear faster than the core units and can sideline a treatment room if unavailable.
- Coordinate multi-location orders for clinics operating more than one site to keep equipment and accessories consistent across locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the ME 740 Sonicator and the Sys*Stim 228?
The Sonicator ME 740 is a therapeutic ultrasound system that uses sound wave energy for deep tissue heating and soft tissue treatment. The Sys*Stim 228 is a 2-channel neuromuscular stimulator that uses electrical current to stimulate muscle contraction. They address different treatment goals and are often used as complementary modalities in the same clinic.
How do I know which ultrasound applicator fits my Sonicator unit?
Applicators are model-specific. This collection includes applicators built for the ME 740, ME 705, ME 706, ME 715-730, and Sonicator Plus 930/992/994 families, so confirm your unit's model number against the applicator's listed compatibility before ordering.
Can the ME 211 TENS STIM 211 be used outside a clinical setting?
The ME 211 is designed as an over-the-counter portable TENS and EMS combination unit, making it suitable for patients to use for home or take-home treatment under appropriate guidance, in addition to in-clinic use.
What tank sizes do the Cavitator ultrasonic cleaner accessories fit?
Replacement baskets and covers in this collection are sized for 3L, 6L, 10L, and 22L Cavitator ultrasonic cleaner tanks. Confirm your unit's tank volume before ordering a replacement basket or cover.
How often should electrodes and applicator cables be replaced?
Electrodes and cables are consumable items that wear with regular clinical use. Sponge electrodes, self-adhesive electrodes, and lead wire cables should be inspected regularly and replaced when conductivity, adhesion, or cable integrity degrades, since worn accessories affect treatment delivery and patient safety.
Is the Auto Therm diathermy system compatible with older Auto Therm units?
Diathermy accessories in this collection, including the coaxial cables, articulated arm, and mobile workstation cabinet, are listed for specific Auto Therm models such as the 390 and 391. Confirm your existing unit's model before ordering replacement parts to ensure compatibility.
