Orthofix

How It Works

Using Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) to Stimulate Healing

To aid the natural healing process, Orthofix’s osteogenesis (bone growth) stimulators create a low-strength pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF), which helps increase the speed and completeness of bone healing.

The PEMF signal is produced from a coil built into a fabric garment that is worn over the fracture or fusion site. Published pre-clinical research shows that PEMF affects bone healing processes at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels.

At the cellular level, the PEMF signal activates growth pathways, which increases bone formation – both the cell population and the cell maturity. At the tissue level this leads to higher density bone with increased strength.

PEMF and the healing process

PEMF
PEMF
Creates low-level electrical field
Molecular Level
MOLECULAR
Activates signaling pathways
Cellular Level
CELLULAR
Causes bone cells to perform work
Tissue Level
TISSUE
Increases bone strength and quality

The result of these molecular, cellular and tissue processes is improved healing rates of a nonunion fracture or fusion.

Product Description

About Physio-Stim®

Physio-Stim has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of nonunion fractures.  A nonunion is a fracture that has shown no visible signs of healing.  Please refer to the Instruction Manual (hyperlink to instruction manual) for complete prescribing information.

This single-piece device is lightweight, flexible and portable, allowing freedom of movement during treatment. An LCD and audible alarm provide important feedback during treatment such as the operational status, treatment time remaining, battery capacity, etc.

Designed for patient ease of use

  • Sure Fit cushion enables comfortable fit
  • Works effectively when worn over clothing, casts, or internal fixation
  • Cordless design enables you to keep moving while healing
  • Built-in software tracks treatment information

With clinical success rates as high as 88%, the device provides 360 degrees of treatment coverage around the fracture site (show bone with 360 degrees signal).
