Pain relief and pain
management for the third millennium
ELFcareTM: sophisticated,
cutting-edge technology in the palm of your hand, controlling
treatment with heat, cold and electrotherapy on the surface of one
electrode.
Pain management is a crucial factor in today's healthcare
system, whether chronic or acute.
However, with existing technology pain management is expensive
and does not always help the patient. Medications are
becoming less and less desirable due to side effects, addiction
issues and expense. Surgery is invasive, traumatic and brings
its own risks and side effects into the picture.
It is time to harness a new wave of technology to manage and
relieve pain. After years of research on the neuropathic
physiology of pain, Mediseb has done just that, in its development
of the ELFcare system, the first device to combine electrotherapy
and thermal (hot/cold) therapy in one electrode.
This combination is evidence of Mediseb's new, sophisticated and
functionally different approach to pain relief and pain
management. And clinical studies have shown that combining
the modalities simply works better than applying each method
individually.
What can the ELFcareTM system provide for
the patient?
-
simple electrotherapy stimuli
simple hot or cold therapy
-
simultaneous heat and electrotherapy
-
simultaneous cold and electrotherapy
-
programmed bursts of heat, cold and electrotherapy stimuli in
treatment patterns
-
pre-set protocols enabling use of the device for simple
treatment using individual modalities, or complex treatment using
combined modalities.
-
software (ELFsoft) for the development of new individualized
treatment protocols.
What can the ELFcareTM system provide for
the practitioner?
ELFcare's standard pre-set protocols bring user-friendly
sophisticated technology into the treatment arena for every
healthcare practitioner, and for every patient.
Treatment can be continued independently at home by the
patient, and is simple to monitor using the software, recall
ability and external modem.
For the specialist, the many options delivered
by the ELFsoft software for development of new individualized
treatment protocols opens up endless possibilities for true
advances in the field of pain relief and pain management, taking
treatment to a whole new level of effectiveness through
technological sophistication..
Clinical Studies:
Several controlled clinical studies were carried out
usiing the ELFcare™. The results in all studies, as shown
in the chart below, clearly indicated that ELFcare™ offers a
more efficient way of relieving pain, achieved with no side
effects.
Further clinical trials are scheduled for 2013-2014.
