BioElectronics Corp. (BIEL) Drug-Free, OTC Therapies on Target to Meet Affordable Pain Relief Demand

Life Science Intelligence (LSI) tells us pain is the single most common reason patients seek medical care and is attributable for approximately half of all physician office visits in the United States. Estimated economic impact of pain, disability and lost productivity costs equals $100 billion annually. In 2010, combined U.S. sales of pain management products (pharmaceuticals and devices) totaled approximately $33.1 billion. Over the forecast period covered in an LSI study, total sales of pain management products are expected to eclipse $38.2 billion this year.

BioElectronics is a company that understands the needs of the market and as a result has the know-how to introduce new ways to treat pain and inflammation. The company has developed a pain therapy that is effective, easy to use and is a localized treatment with no known adverse side effects. By leveraging electromagnetic diathermy which has been available for decades, BioElectronics has miniaturized the technology allowing the therapy to be used around the clock. What’s new is that this innovation has transformed the expensive, clinic based treatment, and made it affordable and available to be used every day. Because it is a simple localized treatment, it can be used as a standalone or adjunct therapy depending on the condition at hand. Clinical study has revealed that it is an effective therapy for both acute pain and chronic pain.

Founded in 2000, the company’s topical pain medical devices include ActiPatch therapy for over-the-counter treatment of back pain and other musculoskeletal complaints, Allay menstrual cycle pain therapy, RecoveryRx for chronic and post-operative wound care, and HealFast, a drug-free therapy for healing of muscle and tendon injuries, sores, and incision in horses, cats, and dogs. The company markets and sells its products under the ActiPatch, Allay, and RecoveryRx brand names through distributors primarily in Korea, Singapore, Canada, Columbia, Scandinavia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, the Balkans, China, South America and Australia.

In what can be viewed as a confirmation of the uniqueness of the company’s product line, BIEL recently announced that its Executive Vice President, Dr. Deepak Kotak has been invited to present BioElectronics’ innovative chronic pain therapy at the OTC Pharma Asia Conference in Singapore on March 3, 2015. Conference details can be found at www.otcpharmaasia.com.

Dr. Kotak plans to deliver a presentation entitled, “ActiPatch® Pain Therapy – Changing the Paradigm of OTC Chronic Pain.” The talk describes the science and how this OTC drug-free therapy is changing the way we view pain management and how it brings “life-changing relief” to those who suffer with chronic pain.

Dr. Kotak commented, “ActiPatch provides effective local pain treatment reducing the need for systemic therapies such as NSAID’s and opioids, and reduces the risk of side-effects and adverse events that are a burden to the chronic pain population. Our customers are reporting superior relief to most analgesics for conditions like fibromyalgia, back pain and arthritis.” As part Dr. Kotak’s presentation, he will also share his vision for BioElectronics technology and how it can be used to address a variety of other health care issues in society today.

BioElectronics is a leader in biophysics and the maker of a line of disposable, drug-free, pain therapy devices; ActiPatch® Therapy, over-the-counter treatment for back pain and other musculoskeletal complaints; RecoveryRx® Devices for chronic and post-operative wound care; Allay® Menstrual Pain Therapy; and HealFast® Therapy for dogs, cats and horses.
