The PainShield MD from NanoVibronix
NanoVibronix has introduced a patch-based therapeutic ultrasound system to treat pain. Known as the PainShield MD, the device is a portable, battery-powered electronic unit connected to a disposable patch, which is used to deliver ultrasonic waves to treat localized pain and induce soft tissue healing. Recently cleared by the FDA, the pocket-sized device is designed to be easy to operate. In tests, it has shown to be suited for a range of applications such as reducing acute and chronic pain and for reducing inflammation.
