Patients and surgeons have called ActiPatch a modern miracle. Actually, the benefits of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy have been clinically accepted for many years.

ActiPatch is a medical device that delivers pulsed electromagnetic frequency (PEMF) therapy in a small, patient applied patch, to accelerate healing of soft tissue injuries. A reduction of pain and swelling allows patients to return to normal activities much sooner.

This patented technology is based on clinically proven, widely accepted PEMF therapy. The clinical effectiveness of the product has been well established.

Testing performed at the Bioelectromagnetics Research Laboratory at the State University of New York has shown that ActiPatch Therapy provides an adequate dosage of electromagnetic energy for the treatment of soft tissue, and that its power at the skin level is equivalent to that of traditional high-power devices. The power level is six to nine orders of magnitude higher than that which is required to show a biological effect. It also demonstrated that the cumulative effect of continuous delivery provides a greater therapeutic benefit than sporadic treatments.

More information on the testing and clinical effectiveness of our product can be found at the following web site: http://femu.de/.

ActiPatch is manufactured by BioElectronics Corporation. The company web site is: www.bioelectronicscorp.com.

How ActiPatch Works:

When soft tissue is damaged, the cells separate to prevent the transmission of infection. The cells leak fluid and cellular components break down while the cellular debris causes inflammation, swelling and pain.

ActiPatch stabilizes the leaking cell membrane by recharging it. The pulsed energy delivered by ActiPatch drives of the edematous fluid along with by products of the damaged tissue thereby reducing swelling.

The mechanisms provide an environment in which cell-cell communication is re-established in the area of the injured tissue. This provides a well demonstrated and significant overall improvement in the restorative and recovery process following surgery.

As a result of the above changes, a decrease in the pain associated with soft tissue injury often occurs.

What surgeons say about ActiPatch:

Laurie Casas M.D., FACS, Associate Professor, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine -

"I use ActiPatch on every facial procedure. It reduces my patients bruising and swelling by 50% following Blepharoplasty, Face Lifts and Rhinoplasty. As a result of ActiPatch, two weeks of standard surgical recovery has been reduced to 5 to 7 days."

David Lavine, M.D., Fort Worth, Texas -

"I have a very large breast augmentation practice. After conducting a double-blind study, I have found that ActiPatch is extremely effective in curbing post-operative pain. In my professional opinion, ActiPatch is effective for short term control of the acute pain that occurs following breast surgery."

Kimberley Goh, M.D., Myrtle Beach, SC -

"ActiPatch has made a world of difference in post-op pain control in my patients. We apply ActiPatch to all abdominoplasty patients. The difference in pain control is amazing."

James Ricketti, DPM., East Hanover, NJ -

"I started using ActiPatch approximately one year ago and have been impressed with the results. It reduces pain and edema without medication. I started using ActiPatch on patients who had no insurance to get physical therapy, or who had failed therapy and other conservative care. The amount of pain relief and edema reduction is remarkable with the ActiPatch. The ActiPatch unit is safe and low cost, small, portable and a narcotic free, pain-free device."

 

We are proud to announce that ActiPatch was featured in an article in the August 2007 edition of Cosmetic Surgery Times.
