Adevice provides electromagnetic pulses at a predetermined frequency that will result in cartilage cell regeneration and regrowth for patients with arthritis, which reduces or eliminates joint cartilage. The device can be wrapped around the joints in a patient where infected cartilage is located. Molecular and marker data have shown this innovation to work as described above. This is a non-invasive technology that regenerates the patient’s own tissue, allowing for possibly no significant side-effects or foreign matter reactivity.
