The EXOGEN Ultrasound Bone Healing System provides non-invasive therapy for healing non-unions and accelerating time to healing of fresh fractures. EXOGEN is designed both for use with conservatively treated fresh fractures and non-unions, or surgically-treated non-unions. EXOGEN transmits a low-intensity ultrasound signal to the fracture site through coupling gel, with little or no sensation felt by the patient during the treatment. Low-intensity pulsedultrasound has been shown in in-vitro and in-vivo studies to stimulate cells to produce growth factors and proteins that are important to bone healing.The patient administers treatment at home or at work, once daily, for 20 minutes, or as prescribed by a physician. EXOGEN automatically alerts the patient in case of improper application or performance. The EXOGEN Ultrasound Bone Healing System consists of one EXOGEN device, a charger, a gel bottle and strap. The EXOGEN device provides the treatment control circuitry, the battery supply and monitors the operation of the transducer at the fracture site. Thesignal specifications cannot be changed.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed to accelerate bone formation (osteogenesis) through the application of ultrasound energy. It typically consists of a pulsed low-intensity ultrasound generator that includes a transducer probe and a retaining and alignment fixture for the probe. The device is typically used to promote healing of nonunion fractures; it is also used to speed the healing of fresh fractures.
