ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Kingfisher Americas, a healthcare company focused on improving patient quality of life, today announced that its parent company, Belgium-based Kingfisher Healthcare, has received CE mark for its KFH Novo medical device, a breakthrough medical technology that enhances the healing of chronic wounds. KFH Novo is the latest addition to Kingfisher's line of safe, non-invasive energy therapies designed to treat patients suffering from a range of chronic conditions.

KFH Novo utilizes Kingfisher's revolutionary Bio-Electric Stimulation Therapy (BEST) to assist in and improve upon the healing of chronic wounds including venous leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers and pressure sores. This unique form of electrotherapy enhances the physiological processes of wound healing at a cellular level, increasing protein synthesis levels, stimulating angiogenesis and fibroblasts, and increasing levels of ATP production to restart and regenerate tissue healing.
