The AVACEN 100*

Put your hand in this futuristic looking muscle relaxing mystery machine, which is about the size of a bread box, for 20 minutes and some really great things may happen. Pain dissipates, that foggy shroud disappears and joints move more freely. For many; eyelids become heavy, stress fades, and some people actually fall asleep.

Over the last 5 years, AVACEN Medical has been awarded multiple U.S. and International patents for its novel apparatus and methods that support its innovative and unique medical process called the AVACEN Treatment Method.

According to AVACEN Medical CEO Thomas Muehlbauer, "The AVACEN 100 uses the AVACEN Treatment Method to address numerous existing worldwide consumer and commercial markets. By non-invasively infusing heat into the circulatory system under negative pressure, it increases microvascular circulation, reduces blood viscosity and enhances deep tissue nutrition. The result… rapid muscle relaxation throughout the body. Think of it as a sauna from the inside out but without the sweating, overheating risks, contraindications and inconvenience."

Developed to support the AVACEN Treatment Method; the AVACEN 100 is a FDA cleared class II OTC medical device. It is the world's only noninvasive medical device that allows patients to systemically treat themselves from a single convenient treatment point (their palm) in the privacy of their home.

Easy-to-Use Over-The-Counter (OTC) Product

• Users put their hand inside the AVACEN 100 vacuum chamber and rest it on a heated pad for 10 - 30 minutes.
• Over 300,000 treatments have been completed without adverse events.
• Sanitary mitt increases device life & function.
• A single machine can be used by the entire family or multiple patients.

Clinical Evidence:

Cardiovascular Effects of AVACEN Treatment Method Study
Conducted by San Diego State University

Drug Free Alternative
The AVACEN 100 is a cost effective means to combat the prescription drug overdose epidemic. It is the perfect answer for many people who need or prefer a drug-free alternative for muscle relaxation to reduce pain which might be associated with a variety of chronic and acute medical conditions.

Muscle Relaxation - Drugs Are Not The Answer
While muscle relaxants are widely prescribed drugs, the evidence supporting the effectiveness of available muscle relaxants is sparse, and some studies are of questionable quality. Most of these medicines cause extended sedation as a side effect, and some of them pose a risk of serious problems, such as liver toxicity and addiction.

Muscle Pain and Stress
Muscle relaxation can reduce deep tissue pain which contributes to increased stress. Increased stress can escalate the risk of strokes, heart attacks, ulcers, and mental disorders such as memory loss and depression. Decreased stress can improve healing, enhance the body's immune system, boost metal alertness, and even help with weight loss.
