Device Description
The PhysioStim device is an external unit that generates a Pulsed
Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) signal as a nonsurgical, prescription treatment
that helps promote healing in fractured bones. The device is lightweight,
adjustable and portable, including a rechargeable battery that allows
freedom of movement during treatment. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and
audible indicators provide important feedback during treatment. See "Device
Operation" for more information.

How the PhysioStim Device Works
To enhance bone healing of a nonunion fracture, PEMF therapy activates
and augments the body's natural healing process that may be impaired in
some people.
The PhysioStim device contains a Control Unit and a Treatment Coil in one
integrated device. A micro-processor generates the PhysioStim device's
electrical signal, which is a highly uniform, low-energy electromagnetic field
sent from the treatment coil. When the coil is centered over the treatment
area, the therapeutic PhysioStim PEMF signal is delivered through clothing and
skin directly to the fracture site.

Device Life
PhysioStim devices provide daily treatments for up to 365 days. The physician
determines the overall length of treatment (months/weeks) on an individual
basis according to fusion healing progress.
