ABSTRACT:
A system for application of electromechanical energy to generate full cycle linear oscillations imposing soft tissue strains which activate natural biochemical mechanisms whereby wound healing is enhanced through reduced scar tissue formation, swelling, pain, healing time, and increased wound strength is thereby provided. In essence, the device and method of this invention provides such enhanced wound healing by utilization of an applicator head which is mounted on the skin adjacent to a wound site, a cable for attachment to opposite ends of an incision's longitudinal axis which is coupled to the applicator head, a motor means for driving the cable in linear oscillations in opposite directions through alternating half cycles of a predetermined span, and an actuator means for regulating the timing and breadth of the predetermined span of each half cycle.
