This device which I found from the BIOMET company’s website is another device that has bone regeneration and bone growth abilities.

EBI Bone Healing System^®

Clinically Effective

• The most studied non-invasive bone growth stimulation device on the market¹
• Heal rates as high as 92%²
• 2 ½ months earlier healing³
• 75% of Biomet customers are repeat prescribers⁴

Scientifically Proven

• Pre-clinical studies state PEMF has a reproducible osteogenic effect in vitro and simultaneously induces naturally occuring BMP-2 and BMP-4⁵
• In vivo and in vitro pre-clinical studies demonstrated PEMF exposure more than doubled the rate of angiogenesis⁶

Cost Efficient

• According to a published, peer-reviewed study, electrical stimulation was shown to be more cost efficient when compared to no stimulation or LIPUS for the treatment of nonunions⁷

Analysis & Interpretation:

What a person needs to understand is that if one really thinks that all it takes to lengthen bone is to have a non-invasive bone growth stimulation device, this would be it. The device seems to be something a patient with a broken leg aka fracture on their long bones would wear like a brace. The way the electrical field would be generated and interact with the broken bone would result in accelerated bone healing time.

If a person thinks they just need a bone growth stimulation device, they can try this and put it on their leg and wear it for a few months and check to see whether the one leg they have been wearing it on increased slightly more in length compared to the contralateral leg used as control.

For more information or to see the scientific studies and articles written about the idea that PEMF technology does indeed work, I copy and pasted all of the studies that was referenced below for any researcher’s convenience.
