Using the Assisi products immediately after a surgical procedure and in the days after surgery enhances healing by accelerating the reduction of swelling and pain. PEMF can manage post-surgical inflammation as well as wound healing, enabling rehabilitation to begin more quickly and safely. The device is simple to use. It may be placed directly over any wound dressing and non-metallic splints. A single manual treatment lasts only 15 minutes. Similar technology has been cleared by FDA specifically for the treatment of post-operative pain and edema in humans.
Assisi products can be supplied to treat post-procedural sites with a pre-programmed treatment regimen, which improves compliance and thereby enhances outcomes.
