The UltraMIST® System is a non-invasive, low-frequency ultrasound therapy designed to promote wound healing by delivering a mist of ultrasound-generated energy to the treatment site. This system is particularly beneficial for patients with chronic or acute wounds that are resistant to traditional treatments.

How UltraMIST Works

The UltraMIST System utilizes a non-contact fluid, such as saline, to deliver low-frequency ultrasound to the wound area. This process generates a mist that aids in cleansing the wound and facilitates maintenance debridement by removing fibrin, yellow slough, tissue exudates, and bacteria. This approach promotes healing by controlling inflammation, augmenting local tissue perfusion, reducing wound bacteria and bacterial biofilms, and increasing angiogenesis.

Benefits of UltraMIST Therapy

• Non-Contact and Painless: The treatment is non-invasive and painless, enhancing patient comfort.
• Accelerated Healing: Clinical evidence indicates that UltraMIST therapy can significantly increase the rate of wound closure compared to standard care.
• Enhanced Blood Flow: The therapy promotes vasodilation, leading to improved local blood flow, which is crucial for healing.
• Bacterial Reduction: It effectively reduces bacterial presence and disrupts biofilms, which can impede healing.
• Compatibility with Other Treatments: UltraMIST can be used alongside other wound care therapies, such as skin grafts, to enhance healing outcomes.
