Preparing To Treat Your Fracture; Place The Strap; If You Have A Cast - Bioventus EXOGEN Manual Del Usuario

Preparing to Treat Your Fracture

To treat your fracture, you will need EXOGEN,
the gel and strap. If you have a cast around your
fracture, you will not need the strap.
Your doctor may have marked your fracture
site with an 'X', or told you where to treat your
fracture. This is the spot to place the transducer
to treat your fracture. Contact your doctor if you
are not sure where to treat your fracture.
Before you begin, check the cable and the
transducer for any cracks or signs of damage.
If damaged, do not use EXOGEN and contact
Customer Service at 1-800-836-4080.
Precaution: The transducer, strap and gel are
not sterile and placement on an open wound is
not advised.
If you have a cast, proceed to
"If You Have a Cast" (page 8).
