The POSiFECT^® Innovation lies in the unique, patent protected bio-electric monitor which generates electrical current that mimics the bodies naturally occurring electrical currents to stimulate the wound healing process.

 

For over 30 years, scientists have been aware that cells, the basic building blocks of all living things, communicate with each other and have their functions regulated by the transfer of electrochemical signals (Kloth, 2005). These signals are known as ‘bio-currents’, ‘bio-electric currents’ or ‘ionic currents’.

 

Bio-currents are caused by the passage of different chemicals in and out of the cell wall. The currents not only help regulate how the cell works but also affect neighbouring cells; they enable the release of specific chemical messengers and promote the movement of some cells away or towards one another (galvanotaxis).

 

Bio-current therapy delivers constant exogenous current (CEC) measured in Micro amps which is 1000 times lower than traditional electrical stimulation therapy.
