Using Ultrasound

Easy to use bone growth stimulating machines to treat your fracture in the comfort of your own home

Treatment involves placing an ultrasound probe on the skin at the fracture site, conveniently fastened by a strap with porthole. 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.

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 machine can be used at a time of day to suit you and can even be taken away on holiday.

Ultrasound bone healing machines are particularly well known for assisting non-union fracture healing as well as speeding up healing in new breaks.

Treatment approved by both the United Kingdom NICE & the United States FDA.

All rented ultrasound 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 machine will require a weighted strap - please add to your shopping cart if you require one. 

As long as the fracture is stable and the fracture gap is no more than 10mm, ultrasound treatment 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.

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.
