EXOGEN – Curación más rápida* de los huesos fracturados

Utilizando ondas de ultrasonido seguras e indoloras para activar las células próximas al lugar de la fractura, el sistema de consolidación ósea por ultrasonido EXOGEN Ultrasound Bone Healing System estimula el proceso natural de curación del organismo1, ayudando a que los huesos fracturados se reparen. En el tratamiento de las fracturas, EXOGEN puede ser una alternativa rentable a las opciones más invasivas.

Se ha demostrado que <strong<EXOGEN cura el 86 % de las fracturas óseas de no consolidación difíciles de curar2.  Las fracturas recientes pueden tardar semanas en curarse, retrasando el momento en que los pacientes puedan volver a su vida cotidiana. Los estudios clínicos han demostrado que EXOGEN acelera la consolidación de una fractura de tibia o radio indicada* en un 38 %3,4.

*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.
