Orthofix Physio-Stim
Product Description
The Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field (PEMF) bone growth stimulation delivered by Physio-Stim is a safe, nonsurgical option for long bone and small bone nonunions. Physio-Stim may be worn over a cast, orthopedic brace, or clothing without lessening its effectiveness. Physio-Stim has everything you need in one compact, lightweight unit including success rates as high as 88%1, and it comes with a written guarantee of healing.
Nonoperative treatment for nonunited fractures with Physio-Stim PEMF bone growth stimulation is particularly attractive to patients and physicians when:
- Surgery presents significant risk to the patient
- The patient does not want to undergo surgery
- Multiple procedures have previously failed
- Regardless of prior fracture management method or risk considerations - including advanced age, presence of infection or tobacco use, the Physio-Stim Bone Growth Stimulator has more than two decades of proven efficacy as an alternative method to secondary surgery for established long bone fracture nonunions.
Indication
The Physio-Stim is indicated for the treatment of an established nonunion acquired secondary to trauma, excluding vertebrae and all flat bones where the width of the nonunion defect is less than one-half the width of the bone to be treated. A nonunion is considered to be established when the fracture site shows no visibily progressive signs of healing
