What is Accel-Heal?
Accel-Heal is an easy-to-use electrical stimulation device for hard-to-heal wounds which relieves pain and stimulates healing.
It works by delivering a preset, automated programme of electrical pulses that automatically adjusts to your wound to ensure the optimal level of electrical stimulation is delivered. The levels of stimulation are very low – you are unlikely to be able to feel it.
A small, portable device, Accel-Heal provides advanced therapy in a simple way that can be easily managed at home.
How does it work?
Electrical fields are part of the fundamental mechanisms of cell and tissue growth and repair.
In a hard-to-heal wound, the process of wound repair can benefit from being ‘kick-started’ by electrical stimulation and the Accel-Heal device.
How do I begin my Accel-Heal treatment?
The 12-day treatment period begins by simply applying two electrode pads to the skin near the wound.
These are then connected to the device which is switched on using a simple button.
The device, which is battery operated, will need to be replaced six times to complete the 12-day treatment. Each treatment pack includes the six devices required for the 12-day treatment. Replacing the device is easy and you do not always need to disrupt your wound dressing.
What can I expect during my treatment?
As Accel-Heal is a single use, small, portable device it should not disturb daily routines. Patients have reported marked pain relief following treatment with Accel-Heal. The pain is likely to continue reducing even following the end of the 12-day treatment.
You will continue with your standard wound dressings/treatment during and following the 12-day therapy. Accel-Heal should not interfere with your usual wound care routine.
