Using the MediMend, the callus forms and reabsorbs simultaneously, thus the bone goes from broken to fully healed. For a visual example, refer to the case history below. These x-rays are unretouched and clearly demonstrate the superiority of the MediMend. The MediMend uses two electroconductive patches that are applied to the skin, above and below the fracture site. The current is completed only when the patches adhered to the skin.
Adhesive surfaces allow the patches to remain in place during the healing process.
Electroconductive gel is sometimes applied to allow penetration into hairy or furry areas, although for thick hair or fur, shaving is recommended. As a result of its bone-specific waveform, the MediMend can be worn continuously. The more time the unit is worn, the more time the bone is being treated. The bone will not become conditioned to the waveform generated. The MediMend may be taken off periodically during daily activities with the animal, then reattached without losing much valuable healing time.
