Bone4ce
What the Treatment Does
Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) is a non-invasive ultrasound technology that sends a painless mechanical force through tissue to stimulate the bone healing.
This process activates cell-reproduction and protein expression and enhances cellular behaviour at the fracture site.
How to Treat
The bone fracture treatment should start as soon as possible. The ultrasound head is to be strapped over the fracture site and turned on. The treatment will last for 20 minutes and is to be performed daily.
The device can be purchased or rented. Depending on your cover the fee may be covered by insurance.
The Bone4ce device is a bone growth stimulator that uses Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) to accelerate the healing process of bone fractures. LIPUS is a non-invasive ultrasound technology that sends a painless mechanical force through tissue to stimulate bone healing. This process activates cell-reproduction and protein expression and enhances cellular behaviour at the fracture site due to the specific intensity and frequency of the ultrasound-waves emitted. The vibration causes the calcium channel of build-up bone tissues to open and the emplacement of calcium in bone-cells to accelerate, closing the fracture gap.
This treatment has an extremely successful track record for solving delayed unions and healing pseudarthrosis.
Smoking, diabetes, advanced age, and osteoporosis are all circumstances that slow the healing of fractures. Bone4ce offers many benefits to patients with slow-healing fractures - both non-unions and delayed unions, for example a reduction in treatment and healing times. Studies have shown that Bone4ce allows for 30-50% faster recovery time due to its use of LIPUS. This technology also improves chances of healing for high-risk patients. The machine is simple to use at home and has produced no side effects to date.
Bone4ce is especially suitable for professional groups with high strain, such as craftsmen and security forces who may experience daily overload of joints or functional disability after operation. Bone4ce treatment can lead to an earlier return to the workforce after a sustained injury.
We are currently offering the Bone4ce to be purchased or rented. Depending on your cover, the fee may be covered by insurance. If you would like a free trial of this technology please get in touch with our Sales Team.

Who is this ultrasound therapy suitable for?
Bone4ce is suitable for almost all bone fracture patients who wish to heal faster after a fracture injury.
How long does Bone4ce need to be used for?
The bone fracture should be treated for 20 minutes daily until it is healed, starting as soon as possible. Depending on the level of damage, the fracture could be healed within months.
Is this technology proven to speed up recovery?
LIPUS treatment has proven to heal non-union fractures by 86%. Studies show that, on average, fresh fractures will heal 38% faster with ultrasound treatment.
