many people gain relief from chronic pain.”
UroShield is an ultrasound-based product that is designed to
prevent bacterial colonization and biofilm on indwelling urinary
catheters and increase antibiotic efficacy, ultimately reducing the
incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
UroShield is also intended to decrease pain and discomfort
associated with urinary catheter use.
PainShield is an ultrasound device, consisting of a reusable
driver unit and a disposable patch, which contains a proprietary
therapeutic transducer. PainShield delivers a localized ultrasound
effect to treat pain and induce soft tissue healing in a targeted
area, while keeping the level of ultrasound energy at a safe and
consistent level. Its range of applications includes acute and
chronic pain resolution through its many mechanisms of action. The
product has been acknowledged by several sports icons and has broad
applications for sports injuries. PainShield can be used by
patients at home or work or in a clinical setting and can be used
even while the patient is sleeping. Patient benefits include ease
of application and use, faster recovery time, high compliance, and
increased safety and efficacy over existing devices that rely on
higher-frequency ultrasound.
