Accel-Heal Solo

Accel‑Heal Technologies

Description

Single-use, automated electrical stimulation wound therapy device designed to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation and help alleviate pain in hard-to-heal wounds. The device is easily operated, wearable and to be used alongside topical wound treatments, such as dressings and compression bandages. Once applied and started, it automatically delivers a pre-set programme of sub-sensory electrical stimulation over a continuous 12 day treatment period.

Indications

Wounds that are not healing as expected or where pain is restricting a patient’s mobility or tolerance of other wound care treatments such as compression therapy. Appropriate wounds include chronic wounds such as venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and arterial insufficiency ulcers, as well as delayed-healing acute wounds, such as burns and dehisced post-surgical wounds.

Contraindications

Contraindicated in patients with cardiac arrhythmias or cardiac failure, application to the chest of those patients with pacemakers and in pregnancy. Do not use where there is suspected malignancy in the wound or adjacent tissue. Do not apply to the neck or head region of persons know have seizures or on those patients with an active deep vein thrombosis.
