Ultrasound Bone Healing System
The EXOGEN◊ Ultrasound Bone Healing System is an ultrasound device that you apply directly to skin at the fracture site for 20 minutes a day. The system emits a low-intensity pulsed ultrasound signal which has been shown in laboratory tests to stimulate genes and growth factors that are critical to your body’s natural bone healing process.
EXOGEN◊ may be used whether your broken bone is in a cast or not. It is FDA-approved to treat fractures that show no signs of healing (non-unions) as well as appropriate fresh (recent) fractures1.
EXOGEN◊ may be used whether your broken bone is in a cast or not. It is FDA-approved to treat fractures that show no signs of healing (non-unions) as well as appropriate fresh (recent) fractures1.
When used on certain fresh fractures, EXOGEN◊ speeds healing by 38%2. When applied to fractures that have not healed, it has succeeded in 86% of cases3. In addition, patients who used EXOGEN◊ treatment were able to have their casts removed an average of 22% sooner than patients with no bone healing device2.
EXOGEN◊ ultrasound treatment easily fits into any schedule. Simply use the device 20 minutes a day at home, at work or while traveling. You don’t have to go to your doctor’s office to receive treatment.
1 Appropriate fractures are the distal radius (arm/wrist) or tibia (leg/shinbone)
