Cutting-edge would care therapy.
MIST Therapy® is a painless, noncontact, low frequency ultrasound delivered through a saline mist to the wound bed.
These gentle sound waves stimulate the cells within and below the wound bed to promote healing.
The result of these gentle sound waves pushing against the tissue include:
- Active cell stimulation
- Decreased bacteria and bioburden
- Gentle cleansing and debridement
Sometimes during the healing process, wounds will “stall”. The cells in the wound appear to shut down and healing stops. MIST Therapy® ultrasound waves gently push against the cells like a hand pressing on a water balloon to “wake” them so they can continue their normal healing process.
The gentle ultrasound waves also push against the bacterial cells found in all wounds. Because bacteria have thinner more rigid cell walls, many bacterial membranes will fracture or crack, like the shell of an egg, causing the bacteria to die and removing a barrier to healing.
Increasing the blood flow to the wound is another way MIST Therapy helps the wound to heal.
The gentle sound waves of MIST Therapy also help to remove any dead tissue from the wound bed. The vibration of the sound waves breaks up the sticky dead tissue allowing it to be easily washed away.
All these factors work together to speed the rate of healing without pain. Not only is MIST Therapy procedure painless, but several studies have shown it reduces wound pain over time.
