How do I know that it works?
Ivivi is an FDA-cleared product for the treatment of post-operative pain and swelling, and is approved by Medicaid and Medicare for the treatment of chronic wounds. Extensive clinical research has demonstrated:
- A 55% reduction in post-operative pain, with a 50% reduction in pain medication1
- 270% faster reduction in post-surgery pain, 60% less pain medication2
- 700% reduction in swelling, acute ankle sprain3
In addition to these published findings, Ivivi’s technology has been in clinical use for over four years, principally in plastic and reconstructive surgeries, as well as in long-term acute care hospitals and in nursing homes. Clinicians have demonstrated the effectiveness of Ivivi PEMF in formal evaluations in those settings and presented or published their experiences:
- 65% reduction in negative pressure wound treatment costs and 33% improvement in healing rates4
- 60% reduction in wound care costs and staff time5
- 60-90% decrease in healing time for all wounds6
Ivivi continues to develop clinical evidence and support, with a focus on developing studies quantifying the effects of PEMF on length of stay and the costs of post-operative care.
