® Fast Pain Relief and Healing with Portable PEMF patches HealFast® Therapy is a technical breakthrough in equine health care that helps animals heal naturally. HealFast Therapy reduces swelling in soft tissues and relieves pain. HealFast Therapy is based on PEMF (Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field) therapy which has been used for decades to reduce pain and swelling. The clinical evidence of its efficacy is overwhelming and available on our website. Now HealFast Therapy patches are a portable version of PEMF that you can put right on the animal’s wound or injury. HealFast Therapy units emit a 27.1 MHz RF shortwave modulated at 1 KHz using 100 microsecond pulses. The RF waves create an induced electrical field in the damaged tissue in an eddy pattern that increases blood flow and restores normal cell metabolism. These devices pack the healing of PEMF into a low power wearable and affordable patch. There is no sensation from the treatment and there are no reported side effects. The peak power density is 73 microwatts per square centimeter. The therapy is generated from a 3-volt battery like those used in watches. How HealFast Works -- HealFast Therapy uses modulated radio frequency (RF) to induce a low frequency electric field in the tissue. Because HealFast Therapy is placed right on the skin, we are able to use a lower energy field than traditional machines. The 1 KHz modulation constitutes the physiologically active component of the signal, which exerts an electromechanical force on the cell population. Recent measurements indicate that less than 1% of the treatment energy is responsible for cell synchronization. The magnitude of the induced 1 KHz electric field in the tissue during HealFast Therapy treatment is on the order of 100 µV/cm at the skin level. .A primary cause of pain is inflammation or the swelling of tissues because of injury or disease. Swelling mechanically disrupts nerve endings producing acute pain and stimulating chemical reactions inside the cells that increase pain in the injured area. HealFast Therapy’s induced electric field truncates the inflammation phase through its stimulation of increased blood flow and influence on vasodilatory agents such as nitric oxide to reduce the swelling. The induced electrical field also stimulates the sensor neurons to reduce pain quickly. The patch or loop must be positioned over the injured tissue. No skin prep is required, no actual skin contact is required, and in cases of wounds or incisions, the unit will work when placed over dressings or bandages. We recommend eighteen to twenty-four hours of continuous Products Models & Prices treatment, but the unit may be left on continuously for several days without risk. Square Patch - $89.99 Model 303 - All animals * Multiple use device with an “on/off” switch 8.9 cm x 8.9 cm (3.5 in x 3.5 in) Crescent Patch - $59.95 Model 305 - All animals * Multiple use device with an “on/off” switch 7.37 cm x 2.79 cm (2.9 in x 1.1 in) PetPatch Loop - $29.95 Model 311 - All animals * Multiple use device with an “on/off” switch 12 x 5 cm oval defined by antenna Quick Relief Loop - $19.95 Model 325 - All animals * Single use device without an “on/off” switch 12 x 5 cm oval defined by antenna Six hours of HealFast treatment delivers the equivalent of 20 minutes of treatment by the high voltage, high frequency, expensive PEMF coil machines currently on the market. Another advantage of HealFast is that once the unit is positioned - the animal can be allowed to move freely around the house or in the stall or paddock. The patch may also be used on horses during a long trailer haul.
