EXOGEN – Schnellere Heilung* bei Knochenbrüchen

Das EXOGEN-Ultraschall-Knochenheilungssystem stimuliert den natürlichen Heilungsprozess des Körpers1, indem es sichere, schmerzfreie Ultraschallwellen einsetzt, um Zellen in der Nähe der Bruchstelle zu aktivieren, was gebrochenen Knochen dabei hilft, zu heilen. Bei der Behandlung von Frakturen kann EXOGEN eine kostengünstige Alternative zu invasiveren Optionen sein.

Es konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass EXOGEN 86 % der hartnäckigen, nicht heilenden Knochenfrakturen2 heilt.  Bei frischen Frakturen kann es Wochen dauern, bis diese heilen, wodurch Patienten lange nicht zu ihrem Alltag zurückkehren können. Klinische Studien haben gezeigt, dass es die Heilung einer bestätigt* gebrochenen Tibia oder eines Radius um 38 %3,4 beschleunigt.

*EXOGEN Summary of Indications for Use: The EXOGEN Ultrasound Bone Healing System is indicated for the non-invasive treatment of established non-unions† excluding skull and vertebra. In addition, EXOGEN is indicated for accelerating the time to a healed fracture for fresh, closed, posteriorly displaced distal radius fractures and fresh, closed or Grade I open tibial diaphysis fractures in skeletally mature individuals when these fractures are orthopaedically managed by closed reduction and cast immobilization.

There are no known contraindications for the EXOGEN device. Safety and effectiveness has not been established for individuals lacking skeletal maturity; pregnant or nursing women; patients with cardiac pacemakers; on fractures due to bone cancer; or on patients with poor blood circulation or clotting problems. Some patients may be sensitive to the ultrasound gel. Visit www.exogen.com for full prescribing information or to contact customer service.

†A non-union is considered to be established when the fracture site shows no visibly progressive signs of healing.
