ActiPatch Therapy Designed to Heal Wounds, Reduce Pain and Swelling and Restore Patients to Normal Faster
Published on: May 20, 2003

FREDERICK, Md. -- BioElectronics Corporation announced today a new breakthrough product -- ActiPatch Therapy that is designed to reduce swelling and accelerate healing of surgical wounds and accidental injuries.

"ActiPatch Therapy delivers a proven medical treatment at a breakthrough price and with unprecedented convenience," said Andrew J. Whelan, CEO of BioElectronics Corporation. "Until today, this therapy typically cost over a hundred of dollars for a single treatment. Our patch delivers 10 days of therapy for only $49.95," Whelan said. ActiPatch Therapy uses small patches to deliver a pulsed electromagnetic therapy directly to the site of a surgical wound or an accidental injury.

Unveiled this week at the annual meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, ActiPatch will restore plastic surgery patients to normal days faster. "One study of the effect on patients following corrective surgery of the delicate eye lid tissue showed that ActiPatch Therapy reduced pain, swelling and bruising on average 3 days faster than the untreated," Whelan said. "ActiPatch Therapy eliminates the swelling that causes pain and bruising and can complicate surgical healing by putting pressure on surgical stitches or closings."

Approved by the FDA for post surgical application, the little, wearable patches deliver to the wound an induced electric current that reduces the swelling and pain. Pulsed electromagnetic therapy has been used for decades to reduce pain and promote healing on surgical wounds, sprains and strains.
