Arobella Medical, LLC (Minneapolis, MN), just released its new Qoustic Wound Therapy System™ for low-frequency cavitational ultrasound wound cleaning, designed for debridement of wounds, and for maintenance or for preparation of wounds for other therapies, such as grafts and flaps.
The Qoustic Wound Therapy System removes harmful bacteria and biofilm and improves wound bed circulation. The system’s unique, dome-shaped Qoustic Qurette(TM) vibrates at 35 kHz, converting electrical energy to ultrasound waves and focusing them intensively on the wound. Sterile saline solution transfers the ultrasonic energy to the wound, where tiny vibrating gas bubbles and cellular-level fluid movement separate dead and harmful cells from healthy tissue. As a result, dead and harmful cells are fragmented and destroyed, thus aiding in their easy removal with the edge of the Qoustic Qurette.
The Qoustic Wound Therapy System is portable and can be used in many health care settings – including the bedside – by certified wound care specialists, including physicians, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists and podiatrists. The system reduces splash and aerosolization. It can reduce wound care costs in several ways: fast setup, no required disposables, short procedure times, effective procedures that reduce debridement frequency, efficient use of saline and fast cleanup.
