The Fintek Bio-Electric Response (BR-1) is a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Capacitively Coupled Bone Growth Stimulator that delivers electrical impulses at a base frequency of 50KHz to 60KHz to stimulate the healing process of fractured bones, fusions and surrounding damaged tissue. This specific frequency level has been found effective in healing fractures and fusions that would not normally heal, particularly in patients that may have additional health or factors that increase the risk of delayed/non-union. However, the Fintek Bio-Electric Response is regularly used on early-attention patients or acute fractures.
The Fintek Bio-Electric Response (BR-1) can be used on patients with appendicular fractures and spinal fractures.
Common fractures and fusions for treatment, (but are not limited to):
- Tibia and Fibula Fractures
- Foot and Ankle Fractures
- Metatarsals
- Femur
- Patella
- Foot and Toe Fusions
- Forearm (ulna and radius)
- Humerus
- Spine (Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar)
- Spinal Fusions
- Scaphoid and other common hand fractures
- Clavicle
- Hip and Pelvis Fractures
The electrodes provided with the device cover a large fracture area and can be used on multiple fractures, segmental fractures, and comminuted fractures.
A qualified Fintek Bio-Electric staff member, trained in how to effectively use the device will provide a personal and comprehensive training on how to use the Fintek Bio-Electric Response and they will provide regular follow-up at set intervals to alleviate any questions or concerns about treatment.
Fintek staff will provide each patient with enough supplies to ensure that they have completed their treatment.
The Fintek Bio-Electric Response is a lightweight, portable hand-held device that clips to your belt, or can be kept in your pocket. The unit is timed for three hours of treatment daily for 9 months of treatment (255 total treatments). The unit runs on a standard 9V DC alkaline battery, which provides up over 50 hours of use on a single battery.
