Rethink fracture treatment

EXOGEN gives you one big reason to rethink your approach to fracture treatment: faster indicated* bone fracture healing time. Studies have found that EXOGEN’s ultrasound bone stimulation may speed up bone healing for indicated* fresh breaks^2,12 and treat non-union* fractures.¹ It’s the only device with a fresh fracture indication for radius and tibia fractures, and for fractures that won't heal, it may prevent the need for further surgery.¹

The science behind EXOGEN healing

To speed indicated* fresh fracture healing or jumpstart the healing process for stubborn non-union* breaks, EXOGEN emits low-intensity, pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) waves at the fracture site. These mechanical waves travel through skin and soft tissue to activate cells critical to healing.

EXOGEN works at every stage of the healing process³ by:

Encouraging cells (osteoclasts and macrophages) to remove bony debris and bacteria^9,28
Stimulating immature bone marrow to produce the bone and cartilage cells necessary to heal broken bones^5,7,29
Speeding the maturation and solidification of formed bone²⁸

Helps heal broken bones faster

Clinical studies have shown that EXOGEN may speed up bone healing of indicated* fresh fractures by 38%.^2,12

Shown to speed cortical bone healing time by 58 days²
Shown to speed cancellous bone healing time by 37 days¹²

It also helps heal 86% of non-union* fractures.¹

74.8% of humerus non-union* fractures¹³
77.8% of clavicle non-union* fractures¹³
84.5% of femur non-union* fractures¹³
93.2% of scaphoid non-union* fractures¹³
95.7% of hand/wrist non-union* fractures¹³

Additionally, EXOGEN helps speed up bone healing in patients with certain risk factors — including obesity, advanced age and tobacco use — by as much as 50%.¹¹

Shown to heal 81.6% of smokers with non-union* fractures¹⁴
Shown to heal older patients (≥30) ≈84 days faster²⁴

*Summary of Indications for Use: The EXOGEN Ultrasound Bone Healing System is indicated for the non-invasive treatment of established non-unions^† excluding skull and vertebra.

In addition, EXOGEN is indicated for accelerating the time to a healed fracture for fresh, closed, posteriorly displaced distal radius fractures and fresh, closed or Grade I open tibial diaphysis fractures in skeletally mature individuals when these fractures are orthopaedically managed by closed reduction and cast immobilization.

There are no known contraindications for the EXOGEN device. Safety and effectiveness has not been established for individuals lacking skeletal maturity; pregnant or nursing women; patients with cardiac pacemakers; on fractures due to bone cancer; or on patients with poor blood circulation or clotting problems. Some patients may be sensitive to the ultrasound gel. Full prescribing information can be found in product labeling, at www.exogen.com or by contacting customer service at 1-800-836-4080.

^†A non-union is considered to be established when the fracture site shows no visibly progressive signs of healing.
