VacuTherapies™ MediCupping™ Machine
We are extremely pleased to provide the next generation of ACE Massage Cupping™ and MediCupping™ equipment.
Just think: eliminate pistol pumping...document your suction levels by using the handy medical gauge...seven different suction modes, one which is static suction plus six pumping modes...multiple cup sizes...all in a light-weight, portable model that takes up the same room as manual vacuum sets.
We searched high and low and found this little beauty that has the features we like at an incredible price...and it's a real workhorse that uses no more electricity than a coffee machine!
The machine comes with many filters and replacement parts for any emergency. The sturdy glass cups come in pairs of six sizes for face and body and we have found some extra small sizes for the face, hands and feet from a different supplier as an accessory.
There are six massive plastic cups with curved rims that are intended for breast work and are also amazing for broad areas of the body. They are cone-shaped with measuring markers for how much tissue is in the cup.
There are three more cups that are quite interesting...they come in large, medium and small and have small stainless steel roller balls around the cup rim that soften tissue along with the suction. Great for scar work and cellulite! The feedback that we have gotten is "Great, but a bit cold!", so we have learned to warm them up a little first.
There are six different "suction/release" or "pumping" modes and one mode for simple suction. There is a pretty sensitive control knob for suction strength with a gauge for consistency and recording accurate treatment notes.
Another great thing is...the company has included a "bifurcated" hose with two cup attachments (along with the two single hoses that can even be connected to make one long hose). This enables easy traction movements and when the two cups are parked and the pumping modes are used, is amazingly therapeutic.
The ONLY thing that we cannot do is work with multiple cups on an area or do flash cupping, since the cups do not have valves. So, keep those manual cups handy if you like to work with multiple cups! We have also found an easy way to use the polycarbonate cups from our manual sets with the MC-600, for when the use of glass cups is prohibited.
The machine is actually pretty quiet. It makes a louder hum when it is on a bare table, so we simply place a towel under it. It has a wonderful vibration that goes through the cup and is very soothing to clients ... makes them fall asleep even faster!
The size of the equipment is as follows (at the largest points): length 12", width 12" (down to about 3" at the front), back height 6", front height 3", circumference 37". The equipment does not come with a case at this moment ... we can reccommend some easily available models at your local store.
This machine is so affordable at $399.00, and we guarantee that you will love it! We can also place your order with a $200.00 deposit and bill you for the balance plus freight charges upon shipment of your equipment, if you need to split your payments over two months.
We accept returns on any equipment in re-sellable condition within a 30-day window and the machine is warranteed for a year on any defects. We will always be avaialble after that year to fix any problems that may occur.
We have an educational 2-DVD set for MediCupping™ which thoroughly demonstrates applications using the machine, and the total running time is over 21/2 hours. You will easily master using the MC-600 if you have already completed your Massage Cupping™ training, or will have a solid foundation to begin practicing if you are new to these techniques.
We will continue to require training for therapists new to VacuTherapies™ who wish to purchase any equipment, either by DVD home study or in a workshop. Education has always been our focus, and this powerful machine will be sold with the same integrity. Many therapists practice with the DVDs and then attend a workshop.
MediCupping™ workshops began in 2010 and the MediCupping™ DVDs are available at a retail cost of $80.00. If the machine is purchased, the MediCupping DVDs and a1 hour operational DVD are included when the machine is shipped ... a total of over 3 1/2 hours of education!
Please let us know if you have any questions, we are delighted to assist.
