NESHER, Israel, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- NanoVibronix, a medical device company specializing in applications that implement surface ultrasound waves, announced that its novel device has received CE approval in Europe for additional claims of wound healing. PainShield is the first hands-free, patch-based device that uses surface ultrasound waves for therapeutic treatment of wounds.

Dr. Rosenblum will be presenting his experience with PainShield for chronic wounds at the International Conference of Dermatology (ICD), Prague, Czech Republic on May 20 - 24, 2009.
