We’ve heard of wound healing methods that involve chemical or even physical stimulation of the site, for enhancing immune activity or removing detritus. But Celleration’s MIST Therapy System is on another level:
The MIST Therapy System 5.0 is designed to deliver therapeutic ultrasound to the wound bed without direct contact of the device to the body (non-contact). The system generates and propels the therapeutic mist towards the tissue. The saline solution is directed to the tip surface and is atomized through the vibration of the tip surface. This surface creates atomization of the fluid, breaking it apart into small particles of uniform size. Once the particles of fluid are released from the tip, a second phenomenon, the acoustic pressure wave, drives them toward the wound. Treatments take only minutes and improved clinical outcomes can often be seen within just a few treatments.
They’ve got FDA approval and just won an award for this — the 2005 Tekne Award, given to the best of Minnesota’s emerging biotech companies. Which is nice.
