It has an 86% heal rate for fractures not healing on their own<sup>1\u00a0<\/sup>and provides 38% faster healing of indicated fresh fractures.<sup>2, 3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The updated label now prominently features indications for using <strong>EXOGEN<\/strong> as an adjunctive non-invasive treatment of established nonunions in patients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With internal or external fracture fixation hardware present<\/li>\n<li>Undergoing treatment for infection at the fracture site<\/li>\n<li>Believed to have diminished bone quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis label update underscores important usage scenarios where fracture management protocol may have limited consideration. Now, <strong>EXOGEN<\/strong> may be confidently prescribed in these indications,\u201d said Peter Shaw, MBBS DRCOG, Chief Medical Officer, Bioventus. \u201cPatients with comorbidities such as osteoporosis and bone infection can benefit from use of <strong>EXOGEN<\/strong> by helping to progress fracture healing and resolve nonunion. In addition, <strong>EXOGEN <\/strong>will heal fractures in the presence of infection at the fracture site and also serve as an important adjunctive therapy when stabilizing fractures with instrumented fixation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Bioventus<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nBioventus is an orthobiologics company that delivers clinically proven, cost-effective products that help people heal quickly and safely.

The EXOGEN device has also been reported as effective as an adjunctive non-invasive treatment of established nonunions\u2020 in patients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With internal or external fracture fixation hardware present. EXOGEN cannot penetrate metal and therefore should not be applied directly over hardware.<\/li>\n<li>Undergoing treatment for infection at the fracture site. EXOGEN is not intended to treat the infection.<\/li>\n<li>Believed to have diminished bone quality. EXOGEN is not intended to treat diminished bone quality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>EXOGEN is also indicated for the acceleration of fresh fracture heal time, repair following osteotomy, repair in bone transport procedures and repair in distraction osteogenesis procedures. There are no known contraindications for the EXOGEN device. Safety and effectiveness have 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.
