Company Overview

Our Ten Year Review: 'The Clinical use of Capacitively Coupled Electric Fields' presents the results of ten years of research into the use of capacitively coupled electric fields in the treatment of recalcitrant human fractures and related disorders.

Our initial results with salvage cases further demonstrated that capacitively coupled electrical fields are equally as effective as pulsed magnetic fields in osteogenesis.

With ongoing success we attempted refixation of loosened hip prostheses, reasoning that the process was similar. As will be seen there has been rewarding clinical success.

These studies were criticized because of the unreliability of the imaging methods so we decided to use the tool of Dual Photon Densitometry to investigate the fine changes that occur in bone during electromagnetic stimulation.

This paper is concluded with our latest analysis of the use of this electromagnetic modality as imaged using dual photon (X-ray) absorptiometry (DEXA).

Products

• Matrix-500

  The MATRIX-500 generates a symmetrical sine wave of high frequency (typically 50 to 60kHz) which is then modulated at a 50% duty cycle. The resulting wave form has a cycle period of 15 to 17 Hz with an active on time of 60 to 70 ms.

  One of the unique features of the Biotronics MATRIX-500 design is the utilization of the biological system as an active component of a tuned circuit. This allows the MATRIX- 500 to actively track changes in the biological impedance and automatically adjust the frequency for optimal delivery.
