The MIST Therapy system (Celleration) aims to promote wound healing in chronic, 'hard-to-heal' wounds and acute wounds by delivering low-energy, low-intensity ultrasound to the wound bed through a continuous saline mist. The mist is claimed to transmit the ultrasonic energy to the wound bed, to activate healing by the removal of slough, exudate and bacteria, and to stimulate tissue regeneration
The MIST Therapy system comprises a generator, a single-use applicator and a sterile saline bottle. Wound surface area is measured and entered into the MIST Therapy system, which then calculates the appropriate treatment time. When the applicator and saline bottle are connected, the ultrasound system is activated and a continuous mist is delivered to the wound bed using a hand-held applicator. The distance between the applicator and the wound bed is 0.5-1.5 cm. Once the treatment is complete, the generator switches off automatically
The MIST Therapy system is intended for use as an adjunct to standard wound care with dressings and other cleaning or debridement as necessary
Each treatment is estimated to take 5-7 minutes to complete and is normally performed three times a week, at the same treatment session as the wound dressings are changed.
