Item 7: Diagnostic Equipment
Mechanical Action Teams
They are used in CT (mechano), application of movement in the body to produce different physiological effects.
Steam Generators:
Physiological Effects:
- Derivatives of water and its chemical composition: hydration of the skin and the hair fiber.
