MICROCURRENT ELECTRICAL THERAPY FOR PAINFUL AND HARD-TO-HEAL WOUNDS
WHAT IS MICROCURRENT ELECTRICAL STIMULATION THERAPY?
When wounded, healthy skin responds with a bioelectric current termed ‘the current of injury’, an essential driver of the normal wound healing process. This current of injury can be diminished in patients with certain underlying conditions, or in older people, contributing to a failure to heal. Microcurrent electrical stimulation therapy is a treatment designed to restore or boost the current of injury and therefore stimulate the healing process.
HOW DOES MICROCURRENT ELECTRICAL STIMULATION THERAPY AID WOUND HEALING?
The microcurrent bioelectric signal that the Accel-Heal device applies over a 12-day treatment period is designed to re-establish the current of injury through the surrounding skin and into the wound bed to kick-start the healing process. Although the pulses of electrical stimulation are undetectable to the patient, the evidence demonstrates that Accel-Heal can promote faster healing, relieve wound pain, improve patient quality of life and is cost-effective.
The benefits of microcurrent electrical stimulation therapy have been proven in numerous studies including 9 meta analyses, 8 systematic reviews and over 35 randomised control trials.
