What is UltraMIST Therapy?

UltraMIST Therapy is a noncontact treatment that uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to promote wound healing. UltraMIST is painless, using a saline mist to transmit acoustic energy to the wound. This helps to control inflammation, reduce harmful bacteria, and improve blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the damaged tissue.

UltraMIST Therapy has been used for over a decade by healthcare professionals and has helped thousands of patients heal more effectively.

How does UltraMIST Therapy work?

During the treatment, your provider holds the UltraMIST device near the wound without touching it. Ultrasound waves are transmitted through a mist of saline, targeting the wound and surrounding tissues. This noninvasive method stimulates the body’s natural healing process.

What are the benefits of UltraMIST Therapy?

UltraMIST Therapy offers several key benefits that make it a preferred treatment option for wound care.

Pain reduction

Studies have shown that patients receiving UltraMIST Therapy experience significant pain relief. In fact, patients have reported that their pain scores decreased by 80% over a 4-week period, compared to just 20% with traditional care.

Faster wound healing

Clinical trials indicate that wound closure rates are higher with UltraMIST Therapy. This acceleration in healing is especially valuable for patients with chronic or nonhealing wounds.

Non-contact and painless

Because UltraMIST is a noncontact therapy, patients can receive treatment without the discomfort often associated with more invasive wound care methods.

What kinds of wounds can UltraMIST Therapy help treat?

UltraMIST Therapy is effective for a wide variety of wounds, both acute and chronic.

Common wound types:

• Venous leg ulcers: Chronic wounds caused by poor blood circulation in the legs.
• Diabetic foot ulcers: Nonhealing wounds commonly affecting those with diabetes.
• Pressure injuries: Deep tissue injuries from prolonged pressure on the skin.
• Surgical wounds: Post-operative wounds that require enhanced healing support.

In addition to these common types, UltraMIST can be used for skin grafts, traumatic injuries, and other complex wounds that have been slow to heal with traditional methods.

When will I notice the results from UltraMIST Therapy?

Patients often begin to see improvement within the first few weeks of treatment.
Depending on the size and severity of your wound, treatment sessions last between 3 to 20 minutes. While results vary, many patients experience reduced pain within a few treatments and 

significant wound area reduction in as little as seven weeks.

For chronic wounds, continued therapy may be recommended to ensure the wound heals completely.
