PENS – Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

Instant pain relief at the touch of a button

BioWavePENS delivers therapeutic electrical signals through skin directly to pain nerves to:

block the pain signal
increase range of motion and
reduce stiffness and muscle spasm

BioWave Percutaneous Electrodes

The BiowavePENS Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation System is comprised of a BiowavePRO stimulator and Biowave Percutaneous Electrodes.

Biowave Percutaneous Electrodes are sterile, single-use and comprised of over 1000 microneedles that are 0.74mm in length. These electrodes feel like Velcro to the touch and are designed to provide a direct conductive pathway through skin into deep tissue bypassing the impedance of skin, allowing deeper penetration of the therapeutic electrical field. BiowavePENS may only be used with the following percutaneous electrodes manufactured by Biowave Corporation:

BWEPOI-B: Back Pain, Bilateral Pain or Pain Over a Large Area

2 round equal area percutaneous electrodes (2.5″ diameter) used for treating 2 equal points of pain, or over the location the pain presents and over the source or original of the pain. Used for:

bilateral pain in the lower back and buttocks
bilateral pain in the thoracic or cervical spine and shoulders
pain of equal magnitude in two locations
radiculopathies
pain centered directly over the spin
pain throughout the knee or shoulder
pain over large areas

BWEPO2-E: Extremity or Unilateral Pain

1 round percutaneous electrode for the primary pain site (2.5″ diameter); and 1 rectangular noninvasive electrode (2′ x 4″) to be placed over a bony prominence (a comfortable location) near the region being treated. Used for:

unilateral pain in the extremities including the knees, ankles, feet, toes, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands and fingers
unilateral pain including single points of pain (up to 3 inches in diameter) in the lumbar, thoracic or cervical area of the back, ribs, obliques, hips, buttocks, groin or gluteus maximus

FAQ

Is it right for me?

BioWavePENS can be used to relieve chronic, acute or post-operative pain most locations in the body, including lumbar, thoracic or cervical spine as well as all extremities.

Will I need further treatments?

If you feel less pain and have a positive response to the first treatment, your doctor may recommend that you return for 5 or more additional treatments. There may be a cumulative benefit with multiple treatments.

What level of activity may I perform after my treatment?

There are no limits to your activity after receiving a Bio WavePENS treatment. However, with less pain, patients should be careful not to perform strenuous activities that might have caused the pain in the first place.
