BioWavePENS®is a uniquely patented form of Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and is comprised of a BioWavePRO® device and BioWave® Percutaneous Electrodes.
BioWavePENS is indicated to treat chronic, acute and post-operative pain. It is an in-office non-surgical procedure which provides up to 72 hours of continuous pain relief following a 30-minute treatment. BioWavePENS is covered by plans like Worker’s Compensation, Personal Injury, Auto and Florida Blue Health Insurance.
A patented, microneedle electrode array provides a direct conductive pathway for high-frequency signals to reach pain nerves in deeper tissue.
Polarized pain nociceptors multiply the high frequencies to form a new range of frequencies, including a therapeutic low-frequency field that inhibits action potential propagation along pain nerves, blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain and induces hypoesthesia at the pain site(s).
