Excellent Safety Profile
Traditional treatment options may be limited by medication side effects or risks and the aftereffects of invasive procedures. In all the Knee Device clinical studies, the only reported side effect was a mild, generally transient skin rash caused by the electrode gel. The rash was controlled by changing gels, using a non-prescription topical medication, or by discontinuing use for a few days.2
Easy for Patients to Use
- The BioniCare Knee Device is flexible and lightweight enough
to be worn under clothing and during sleep
- The soft wrap closes with VelcroŽ to ensure a precise, comfortable fit
- The Knee Device can treat two knees simultaneously by using
a second wrap
- The Device delivers a low-amplitude pulsed electrical field
- Patients cannot feel the electrical signal during treatment
Verifiable Compliance
Patients are instructed to use the Knee Device 6 or more hours
each day. Most use the Device while asleep or relaxing at home.
Research shows increased effectiveness as the daily treatment
time is increased - 8 hours of daily treatment is more effective
than 6 hours, and 10 hours is more effective than 8 hours. A clinical
study confirmed that many patients experienced dramatic improvement
in pain and symptoms after they used the device for 750 hours
or more. The BioniCare Knee Device records patient use, so both
patient and physician can verify compliance.
