Product Description
The SaeboStim Micro provides sensory electrical stimulation (SES) to the arm and hand using a specialized Electro-Mesh Garment. The unique Electro-Mesh material is not only soft and comfortable to wear at rest but also during activities.
The garments consist of an elbow sleeve (arm stimulation) and glove (hand stimulation). The material is highly conductive and is made of silver treated nylon fibers blended with Dacron®. The stimulation is delivered into the elbow sleeve and glove by a uniquely designed stimulator. Clients suffering from impaired function, weakness, and spasticity can benefit from much-needed stimulation.
Features:
- Electro-Mesh glove provides complete stimulation to the entire hand.
- Electro-Mesh sleeve distributes stimulation over a large portion of the upper arm and elbow.
- World’s smallest stimulator offers advanced protocols for day and night-time use.
- Stimulator attachment provides quick and convenient access to the unit during activities and at rest.
Indications:
The SaeboStim Micro is designed for individuals that have had injuries that result in:
- Limited arm and hand function.
- Spasticity.
- Arm and/or hand pain.
- Arm and/or hand edema.
- Decreased sensation.
- Inattention or neglect.
- Temperature changes in the hand.
The onset of the injury does not prevent someone from receiving Saebo treatment. Whether the client just had a stroke or orthopedic injury, or if he or she suffered an injury years ago, the SaeboStim Micro can be of great benefit.

It’s too early for me to tell you what I will gain but I can feel it working.

This item, Saebostim Micro is one of the best devices I’ve ever seen to help stroke patients recover the use of their arm and hand. It does it on such a level as to have the brain recognize around the damaged area of itself so that it can see once again the arm and hand that it was ignoring due to that damage.

The use of SaeboStim for 3 weeks but I felt it didn’t do much to help my right hand so I returned it. Perhaps I should have use it for a longer period. However I do like to try out the SaeboGlove, SaeboFlex and the SaeboStretch as I feel it’s a better fit for me.

Hoping to improve his hand sensation, we ordered a trial of the SaeboStim Micro. It was very easy for my patient to use. He and his wife were able to manage the device on their own after only two instruction sessions. He wore it at the skilled nursing facility for eight hours each night and one to two sessions during the day, putting it on and taking it off himself. I was pleasantly surprised that he reported improvement even after the first day.

I began following a patient with major sensory loss on the left side one year following his stroke. I decided to try the SaeboStim Micro to see if it would help. Over a period of several weeks he consistently demonstrated the ability to find his thumb in space. Once applied, the SaeboStim Micro “goes to work.” Based on this patient’s response to the SaeboStim Micro, I will definitely try it with future patients whose motor function is affected by impaired sensation.

After just two weeks of working with the Saebo Stim micro, my patient was able to brush his teeth with the affected arm! He was in awe and astonished by what was happening. He can now sense the difference between hot and cold based on surface immersion.

Within one week of using the SaeboStim Micro, I noticed significant improvement in my hand sensitivity. My occupational therapist recently gave me a temperature test with ice and I identified the location of the ice on my hand with 50% accuracy. I never could have done that before… I know from the research that sensitivity is a precursor to function, so I am hopeful that I will continue to see improvement in my ability to use my hand over time. This is the first improvement I have had in over a year, so it’s pretty exciting!
