Description

From Which Medical Device

The Physio-Stim Bone Growth Stimulator is an external, low-level pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) device that is a safe nonsurgical option for long bone and small bone nonunions. The unit can be worn over a cast, orthopedic brace, or clothing without lessening its effectiveness. As a nonoperative treatment for nonunion fractures, the Physio-Stim bone growth stimulation is particularly attractive to patients and surgeons when:

•Surgery presents significant risk to the patient
•The patient does not want to undergo surgery
•Multiple procedures have previously failed
Surgeon Benefits
•Smart technology can provide outcomes reports and hardcopy patient compliance monitoring
•Written guarantee for bone growth stimulation products
•Patient friendly, comfortably worn during daily activities with or without a cast or brace, worn for three hours per day
•LCD treatment countdown clock shuts off automatically when treatment is complete
Patient Benefits •Lightweight, all-in-one unit allows unrestricted patient mobility – no separate cables, control units, gels or battery packs.
•Comfortably worn over clothing with or without a cast or brace for three hours per day
•Simple one touch on/off button
•Easy buckle for on/off
•Anatomically designed for more flexibility and comfort
•Internal countdown shuts off automatically when daily treatment is complete
 
Indication:
For the treatment of an established nonunion acquired secondary to trauma, excluding vertebrae and all flat bones where the width of the nonunion defect is less than one-half the width of the bone to be treated. A nonunion is considered to be established when the fracture site shows no visibly progressive signs of healing.
