MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Arobella Medical, LLC, today announced that it has launched the Qoustic Wound Therapy System(TM), which advances the use of low-frequency cavitational ultrasound for wound care. The product offers a safe, cost-effective alternative to painful sharps debridement and other surgical modalities.

A significant number of the people with chronic wounds have diabetes, and rapid growth of the diabetic population is increasing the need for advanced wound care.

"The Qoustic Wound Therapy System debrides by deploying focused ultrasound energy directly on the wound bed, notably improving the effectiveness of debridement versus sharps debridement alone. The use of ultrasound helps preserve healthy tissue and protects newly formed granulation tissue, while being gentle and efficient," said Eliaz Babaev, PhD, president and CEO of Arobella Medical.
