NOVO
Following orthognathic (jaw) surgery there is a period of intermaxillary fixation where the jaws are banded shut. Patients are unable to eat or speak properly, and maintaining oral hygiene is difficult. There is considerable facial pain, swelling and bruising.
Novo is a wearable system which accelerates post-surgical healing in orthognathic surgery patients. It applies low intensity pulsed ultrasound to the surgical sites, which has been clinically proven to increase bone density and reduce pain. A shortened intermaxillary fixation period enables the patient to get back to normal life sooner.
