Description
Stimulates the production of new cells
In the healing process of a fracture, everything revolves around bone growth. The Ossatec Bone Growth Stimulator enhances this process by stimulating the production of new cells, which will allow your fracture to heal considerably faster. This is perfect for when you want to get back on your feet quickly, but also if you want to prevent an operation. The Bone Growth Stimulator works on all kinds of fractures: from fresh or risky fractures to fractures that are healing slowly or not at all. The Bone Growth Stimulator is comfortable to wear and completely silent. It is also nearly invisible when worn underneath your regular clothing.
How does it work exactly?
Electrostimulation to enhance the healing process of bones was first used in the beginning of the 19th century. Fukada described in 1953 how mechanical stress on bones results in electric polarisation. Next, Fukada & Yasuda (1957); Basset & Becker (1962) and Friedenberg & Brighton (1966) demonstrated that osteogenesis can be influenced by electromagnetic waves. Read more…
