BioWavePENS®
BioWavePENS®is a uniquely patented form of Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and is comprised of a BioWavePRO® device and BioWave® Percutaneous Electrodes.Â
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).
BioWavePENS provides the deepest and most effective
active electrical field for blocking pain signals
PENS has proven efficacy (1,2)
Advanced high frequency signal technology Patented percutaneous electrode
Long carry-over effect following treatment.
Cumulative effect from multiple treatments Up to 72 hours of continuous pain relief Cumulative effect from multiple treatments
Optimized patented signal technology
No programming
Easy to use and portable Comfortable treatment
Non-surgical in office procedure
Covered by Worker’s Compensation, Personal Injury, Auto and Florida Blue

Contraindications
When Not to Use BioWave
- Do NOT use BioWave if you have an implanted cardiac pacemaker.
- Do NOT use BioWave if you have epilepsy or are prone to seizures.
- Do NOT place electrodes over the heart, or across the thoracic volume. Electrodes can be applied to the back of the thorax and lateral aspect of the upper limb (i.e. below/down the shoulder).
- Do NOT place electrodes on the front or side of the neck.
- Do NOT place electrodes on top of the head.
- Do NOT place electrodes over open wounds, broken skin, rashy skin or sensitive areas.
-
Note:
Electrodes MAY BE PLACED directly over or in the proximity of implanted metal hardware including total joint replacements, rods, plates, screws, anchors and pins.
- Electrodes MUST NEVER TOUCH EACH OTHER DURING THE TREATMENT (1.0 inch (2.6 cm) is the minimum spacing between Electrodes
