Dynatronics Earns Patent for Thermal Stimulation Technology

Salt Lake City, Utah-based Dynatronics Corp. has been awarded a U.S. patent for “Systems and Methods for Providing a Thermo-electro-stimulation Probe Device.” This technology is incorporated in the company’s Thermostim Probe used in the delivery of therapeutic treatments.

The ThermoStim Probe delivers thermal (hot and cold) therapy and/or electrotherapy in a targeted, attended treatment. The treatment is meant to increase local blood circulation, reducing muscle spasm and relieving pain in patients and athletes.

“The unique advantages of the Thermostim Probe, which include reduced treatment time with the simultaneous delivery of three distinct treatments and greater ease of use compared to conventional methods, should make this important new tool a ‘must have’ for clinicians,” said Larry K. Beardall, executive vice president of sales and marketing. “Gaining a patent on this new technology distances us from competitors and will provide us a proprietary advantage for many years to come.”

Beardall added that because the probe is operated from the control console of the Solarisplus units, demand for Solarisplus units has risen commensurate with the demand for the Thermostim Probe.

“We believe the unique advantages of the Thermostim Probe, together with the expansion of our distribution channels both domestically and internationally, will help drive sales of our therapeutic device products going forward,” he concluded.

Dynatronics makes advanced-technology medical devices, orthopedic soft goods and supplies, treatment tables and rehabilitation equipment for the physical therapy, sports medicine, chiropractic, podiatry, and other related medical markets.
