BioElectronics Announces B. Braun as the UK Distributor for Pain Device in Orthopaedics
FREDERICK, Md., Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BioElectronics Corporation, USA, (OTC Pink: BIEL), today announced that B. Braun Medical Ltd is the exclusive UK distributor of the BioElectronics' RecoveryRx® pain device in orthopaedics and trauma.
RecoveryRx® is a micro medical device that treats acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain and decreases oedema. RecoveryRx® will be introduced in the B. Braun enhanced recovery surgical programs, particularly hip and knee joint replacement and spine surgery, as well as use in orthopaedic trauma. RecoveryRx® in joint replacements will enable better "prehabilitation" in preparation for surgery and provide improved acute post-operative pain relief, earlier mobilization, faster less painful rehabilitation and better restoration of function.
Darren Lee, Vice President Orthopaedics & Spine of B. Braun, said: "Adoption of the RecoveryRx® technology will emphasize our continued commitment to patient centered care and safety. B. Braun is dedicated to helping health care professionals through the continued development of high performance products from world-renowned innovative implants to therapeutic systems that offer a high standard of care, innovation, and outcomes. We are thrilled to add RecoveryRx® to our portfolio of products."
Dr. Deepak Kotak, BioElectronics Executive Vice President, said: "Providing effective analgesia and a reduced need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids is inherently safer, better tolerated and more cost-effective, particularly in an aging population. We are delighted that after evaluation in the clinic, B. Braun recognized the utility and broad application of RecoveryRx® technology in orthopaedics."
The companies also stated, as part of their working relationship, that B. Braun would be conducting further randomized controlled studies in its UK centres of excellence in knee arthroplasty and bone healing. It is anticipated that the relationship will extend to Germany and other territories after the initial roll out in the UK.
