New Website Offers FDA-Cleared Electrotherapy Devices for Pets and Horses
Montvale, NJ, August 26, 2009 — Ivivi Health Sciences today announced the official launch of a new division, Assisi Animal Health, and with it a new dedicated website, www.assisianimalhealth.com. Assisi Animal Health has been created to meet the growing consumer demand seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals to provide pain relief for dogs, cats and horses. Assisi’s proprietary targeted pulsed electromagnetic field therapy technology (tPEMF™) is used for the treatment of pain and soft tissue injuries in pets and horses. “Many individuals seek non-pharmacological, non-invasive solutions for themselves,” says David Saloff, Executive Vice President and Co-Founder of Ivivi Health Sciences, makers of the devices. “Therefore, it’s completely understandable that they would seek similar alternatives for their pets and horses, many of whom are considered members of their family.”
The products are easy to use and cost-effective pain relief for dogs and other pets, and are supported by strong scientific and clinical work in humans and animals. In randomized controlled trials, Assisi’s targeted PEMF signals have produced significant improvements in tendon repair, wound healing and in pain and edema reduction. Ivivi FDA-cleared PEMF devices provide a non-pharmacological, non-invasive, treatment for pain relief and soft tissue injuries, with no known adverse effects or side effects, for human use as well.
Products may be purchased online at the website, by phone or from select veterinarians, by licensed animal healthcare professionals or by consumers with a prescription. The website provides further information on the technology, as well as supporting research and clinical information.
