iRevive Ortho-Care Therapy Center with its medical devices for musculoskeletal disorders uses Molecular Biophysical Stimulation (MBST) that can regenerate cartilage, tendons, ligaments and enhance bone density.
The facility has now started operations in Bengaluru. The medical equipment is manufactured by MedTec Medizintechnik GmbH. IEM International and MBST are a joint initiative to import the machines into India and offer an opportunity to healthcare providers to offer the latest in ortho rehabilitation therapies.
“We have successfully treated over 300,000 patients worldwide and have installed 1,200 devices in 39 countries. Now this is being introduced for the first time in India”, said Axel Muntermann, Founder and CEO, MedTec Medizintechnik GmbH, Germany at the iRevive facility inauguration.
“Patients of bone and cartilage degeneration suffer immense pain. There was no non-invasive means to regenerate cartilage and bone cells. When doctors began to notice how patients felt the pain relief post Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), we researched to develop therapeutic devices based on this technology and that is how the MBST technology came in,” he added.
The Magnetic Resonance Therapy technology used by the machines helps in regenerating cartilage and bone cells in a non-invasive procedure, treating both the symptoms and the cause. It also helps in effective pain management. The technology manipulates the hydrogen atoms in the human body which itself is made up of 67% of water. The technology works in a way to enable degenerated cells to absorb and release energy again. The cell in turn regenerates and cell metabolism is revived,” explained Axel.
“We work closely with the medical fraternity to provide patients with a minimally invasive treatment to regenerate cartilage, increase bone density and provide to provide pain relief with no and no side effects. The machines from IEM MBST are available for all hospitals and diagnostic centers looking to provide their patients with a non-invasive, yet revolutionary treatment,” said Surendra Bhandari, managing director of iRevive and IEM International Pvt. Ltd., (IEM), importers of these machines.
Elaborating on the treatment through the MBST machines, Dr. Gautam Kodikal, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon said, “This form of treatment is ideal for patients who are diagnosed early, especially in the first 3 stages of cartilage and bone degeneration. It is only after stage 3 that surgery becomes the only option. The machines can be used to treat osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, sport injuries and other metabolic disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It takes about 10 sessions of an hour each for 10 consecutive days for the cartilage to regenerate.
iRevive has two MBST machines: OpenSystem350, and OpenSystem700. The former is a arm and leg combination system includes a chair, trolley and table. The application areas of this machine are the elbows, hands, knees and foot. The latter is a treatment cot covers application areas of double-knee, lumbar-spine and hip, thoracic spine and the cervical spine/shoulder areas. The MBST OsteoSystem will soon be made available for whole body treatment.
