EVOMED has launched two new 'electroceutical' products which are said to be an ideal non-medicinal starting base for the treatment of chronic pain.
Previously the only drug free options were gels, heat packs and various complementary medicines, but the launch of PAINmate and ActiPatch provides new possibilities.
"Our aim is to reduce the reliance on analgesics by encouraging healthcare professionals and patients to always use drug free options as a first choice," said Evomed's Penny McShane.
ActiPatch uses electromagnetic pulse therapy to stimulate the nerves at 100 times per second, with the product said to be sensation, heat and odour free with "efficacy supported by numerous randomised, double blinded, placebo controlled trials" - details at www.actipatch.com.au.
Meanwhile PAINmate is a wire-free portable and discreet TENS device providing fast, targeted pain relief by blocking nerve signals.
