BioWavePENS – Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS)

The Proven Power of BioWavePENS: Immediate, Long-Lasting Pain Relief—No Opioids. No Surgery.

Clinically Proven

Class II Medical Device

What is BioWavePENS

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, and Auto 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).

BioWavePENS® is a uniquely patented form of Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It consists of the BioWavePRO® device and BioWave® Percutaneous Electrodes, both of which are FDA 510(k) cleared Class II medical devices.

BioWavePENS is indicated to treat chronic, acute, and post-operative pain. It is an in-office non-surgical procedure that provides up to 72 hours of continuous pain relief following a 30-minute treatment

Each BioWave® percutaneous microneedle array electrode contains 1,014 micro-needles, each measuring 0.74 mm in length, designed to deliver high-frequency electrical stimulation directly to the source of pain. The patented microneedle array creates a direct conductive pathway through the epidermis that bypasses the impedance of skin, allowing these signals to reach pain nerves in deeper tissue.

BioWavePENS is covered by plans like Workers’ Compensation, Personal Injury, and Auto insurance.

Doctor Testimonials

"Our experience has encompassed about four to five years of using this device. We've estimated about 3,000 PENS sessions performed to date. On average, we see about a 40% to 60% decrease in pain scores on the visual analog scale. The majority of our patients who receive BioWavePENS treatments end up satisfied with their care, satisfied with their pain management, and don’t go on to further interventions."

Raymond TatevossianMD, CSPP, Founding Partner

"This is an excellent treatment option for patients who are not candidates for injections or surgery, including those with bleeding disorders like hemophilia. We’ve seen up to 70% pain reduction with this device."

Amirhassan BahremanMD, Neurological & Pain Institute
