Revolutionary LIPUS Technology Now Available with Enhanced Features for Faster Fracture Recovery
We are excited to announce the launch to the new AccelStim™, the latest evolution in our bone healing therapy portfolio. Building on the proven success of our original AccelStim device, which has helped thousands of patients accelerate their fracture healing since its FDA approval in 2022, the new AccelStim represents a significant advancement in Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) technology.
What Makes the New AccelStim Different?
The new AccelStim incorporates improvements while maintaining the clinically proven LIPUS technology that has made Orthofix the leader in bone growth stimulation. The device continues to deliver 1,000 pulses per second of targeted ultrasound energy to stimulate bone healing at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels.
Key enhancements include:
- Improved portability with a sleeker, more compact design
- Enhanced battery life for extended treatment sessions without interruption
- Advanced user interface with intuitive controls and progress tracking
- Upgraded comfort features for better patient compliance during the recommended 20-minute daily treatments.
Expanding Treatment Options for Patients
AccelStim is indicated for:
- Non-invasive treatment of established nonunions (excluding skull and vertebra)
- Accelerating healing time for fresh, closed, posteriorly displaced distal radius fractures
- Accelerating healing time for fresh, closed, or Grade I open tibial diaphysis fractures in skeletally mature adults
This broad range of indications, combined with our existing PEMF device portfolio including CervicalStim™, SpinalStim™, and PhysioStim™ systems, positions Orthofix as the only company offering both PEMF and LIPUS bone growth stimulation technologies.
Supporting Patients Through Their Healing Journey
One of the most significant advantages of AccelStim is its non-invasive nature and minimal disruption to daily routines. The device is designed to integrate seamlessly into patients’ lives while providing powerful therapeutic benefits.
Patient benefits include:
- Effective treatment for patients with risk factors, including obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, and advanced age
- Proven improvement in healing outcomes for smokers, who traditionally face greater challenges with fracture recovery
- Freedom of movement during treatment sessions
- No known contraindications
The treatment protocol remains straightforward: 20 minutes of daily therapy that patients can complete while reading, watching television, or engaging in other sedentary activities.
