FREDERICK, Md., Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BioElectronics
Corporation, USA, (OTC Pink:
BIEL), today announced that B. Braun Medical Ltd is the
exclusive UK distributor of the BioElectronics' RecoveryRx® pain
device in orthopaedics and trauma.
RecoveryRx® is a micro medical device that treats acute and
chronic musculoskeletal pain and decreases oedema. RecoveryRx® will
be introduced in the B. Braun enhanced recovery surgical programs,
particularly hip and knee joint replacement and spine surgery, as
well as use in orthopaedic trauma. RecoveryRx® in joint
replacements will enable better "prehabilitation" in preparation
for surgery and provide improved acute post-operative pain relief,
earlier mobilization, faster less painful rehabilitation and better
restoration of function.
Darren Lee, Vice President
Orthopaedics & Spine of B. Braun, said: "Adoption of the
RecoveryRx® technology will emphasize our continued commitment to
patient centered care and safety. B. Braun is dedicated to
helping health care professionals through the continued development
of high performance products from world-renowned innovative
implants to therapeutic systems that offer a high standard of care,
innovation, and outcomes. We are thrilled to add RecoveryRx® to our
portfolio of products."
Dr. Deepak Kotak, BioElectronics
Executive Vice President, said: "Providing effective analgesia and
a reduced need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and
opioids is inherently safer, better tolerated and more
cost-effective, particularly in an aging population. We are
delighted that after evaluation in the clinic, B. Braun recognized
the utility and broad application of RecoveryRx® technology in
orthopaedics."
The companies also stated, as part of their working
relationship, that B. Braun would be conducting further randomized
controlled studies in its UK centres of excellence in knee
arthroplasty and bone healing. It is anticipated that the
relationship will extend to Germany and other territories after the
initial roll out in the UK.
