Wound healing is defined as the totality of the different phases of physiological processes resulting in regeneration of destroyed tissues or for closure of a wound (e.g. fresh cutaneous injuries, chronic ulcers, blunt trauma and severe bruising or muscle and tendon injuries).

 

The previously collected findings on the effectiveness of the BEMER 3000 electromagnetic field therapy directly affected the metabolic processes in wound healing. Here, Kafka and Preißinger conducted comparative investigations on standardized wounds post-ovarectomy in cats (felidae).

 

Under strict compliance with an experimental protocol and a standardized methodology of surgery and treatment up to wound suturing, 60 normal house and farmyard cats were divided post-operatively into 3 groups and treated. Here, one group received no further therapy and one group was treated immediately post-operatively, both after 72 and 120 hours, with 12 minutes of 60 µT Bemer-3000-magnetic field therapy. The third group received at the same time, in addition to the Bemer 3000 magnetic field therapy additional 6-minute BEMER LED light treatment.

 

The progress of wound healing was documented photographically on the 1st and 7th post-operative day. Despite the minimum treatment, the therapy in the second and third groups of animals resulted in a radically shortened wound healing—clearly discernable in the scar formation—compared to the untreated group.  Wound healing was already complete on the 7th day in the group of animals that was concomitantly treated with BEMER 3000 magnetic field and BEMER 3000 phototherapy.
