Using Exogen®

Easy to use in the comfort of your own home

Treatment involves placing the ultrasound probe on your skin at the site of your injury conveniently fastened by a retainer band. Your consultant can advise you exactly where the ultrasound disc should be placed during your ultrasound treatment (in my case it was marked with a felt tip X). Ultrasound gel is provided in your rental pack, and is applied (a blob the size of a 1 pence piece uk or 2 cents europe) onto the ultrasound probe (also called a transducer) before placing against the skin.

There is a battery pack inside the Exogen® which will last at least 9 months - so no need to recharge.

The video clip below gives an excellent tutorial on how to use an Exogen® machine.

Use the ultrasound machine for only 20 minutes a day from a few weeks to several months, as indicated by your surgeon. The lightweight, portable EXOGEN® machine can be used at a time of day to suit you and can even be taken away on holiday.

EXOGEN® 4000+ Faster Bone Healing 38% faster for new breaks & 86% healing of non-unions.

Approved by both the United Kingdom NICE & the United States FDA. 

All rented EXOGEN® machines come with a strap to hold the ultrasonic transducer in position for the treatments. Some broken bones occur where it's not possible to wrap around eg. the collar bone (clavicle), and in these cases the EXOGEN® machine will require a weighted strap - please add to shopping cart if you require one. 

As long as the fracture is stable and the fracture gap is no more than 10mm, the Exogen® machine is an option in all cases for use by persons that are 18 years or older and skeletally mature, excluding skull and spine (vertebra) fractures.

EXOGEN® Ultrasound Bone Healing machines stimulate the body’s natural healing process, using safe, painless ultrasound waves to activate cells near the site of the break.

I have health insurance cover can I claim the cost from them? 

The cost of a latest models of single use Exogen® machines are: Exogen®150 (£1500+VAT [1/11/2019] and 150 single daily treatments) ; and Exogen®250 (£2562.50 +VAT [1/11/2019] and 250 single daily treatments). Your insurer may pay this, although you will probably need to pay an excess - contact your insurer for information. A new EXOGEN® machine although visually updated gives exactly the same treatment as the EXOGEN® 4000+ machine which we offer for rent - as that treatment is what the NICE and FDA have approved. The excess for a new EXOGEN® machine may be more than the cost of our rental EXOGEN® machines. The new latest model of EXOGEN® machine is disposable as it stops working after a single course of treatments. The units we rent (Exogen® 4000+) have unlimited usage over the rental period and they have the standard treatment time which is 20 minutes. They do not need a treatment card - see details below. 

More Details About The Exogen® 4000+ Machine We Offer For Rental

  • Exogen® 4000+ is not the latest model from Exogen® but it uses the same NICE & FDA approved ultrasound bone healing technology as the latest Exogen® model.  

  • The big difference between the latest Exogen® models ( Exogen®150 and Exogen®250) and the Exogen® 4000+ model that we offer for rental is that our model can be reconditioned to as new condition and does not require a memory/treatment card.  

  • Exogen® (originally made by Smith & Nephew and now made by Bioventus LLC) ultrasound bone healing devices seem to have always been sold as single treatment/user only.  Rather like a course of antibiotics where you take all the antibiotic medicine prescribed just for you.  So from the earliest Exogen® 2000 through to the Exogen® 4000 + and then to the latest model, Exogen® expected the patient to dispose of the ultrasound healing device when they were better or when the Exogen® model ran out of treatments.  

  • The earlier Exogen® 2000 and 4000+ are re-usable when reconditioned with the correct expertise to as new condition. We rent out the Exogen® 4000+ machines.

  • The latest Exogen® model's usage life is based on having a memory card with a reducing number of remaining treatments. The machine will no longer work when the treatments are used up on the removable memory card. 

  • The Exogen® company can be approached for a new memory card with available treatments but the cost will be in excess of our rental charge rates .
