EBI Medical Systems, Inc., is the original developer and leading provider of electrical bone growth stimulators. In 1979, EBI introduced the EBI Bone Healing System® as a noninvasive alternative to surgery in the treatment of nonunion fractures, failed fusions, and congenital pseudarthroses in the appendicular system.
The Noninvasive EBI Bone Healing System®
The EBI Bone Healing System® is an alternative to surgery in the treatment of nonunions, failed fusions, and congenital pseudarthroses in the appendicular system. This electromagnetic field produces a small electrical current very similar to what the body does naturally to signal the bone to begin healing in the first few weeks after a fracture. The treatment coil is placed directly over your fracture site to provide an optimal therapeutic signal to reach the fracture site. Since 1979, acceptance of the EBI device has continued to increase with more than 24,000 surgeons prescribing the EBI Bone Healing System® for more than 200,000 patients. For information on a surgically implanted bone growth stimulator, the EBI® Osteogen™.
The Noninvasive EBI Bone Healing System®
Although EBI PEMF has been shown to be effective when used at treatment times between three (3) and ten (10) hours per day, a review of the clinical data has shown that healing may occur earlier when the EBI Bone Healing System® is used for the recommended ten (10) hours per day.
The Scientific Research
As far back as 1955, published studies have suggested that fracture healing may be aided by electrical stimulation. Over the years, EBI has continued to perform clinical and scientific research with its signal to further study the healing of fractures. Today, the EBI signal is the most widely studied with more than 245 published clinical papers demonstrating successful patient outcomes with the EBI Bone Healing System. Furthermore, over 200 basic research studies have been published supporting EBI's proprietary PEMF signal as an effective method for promoting the healing of fractures.
