While the OSKA Pulse is manufactured in the United States, the research and technology that went into its creation was carried out by Medic Technology International Pty. Ltd. in Perth, Western Australia. We are humbled and delighted that the OSKA Pulse has been registered as a Medical Device with the FDA (USA) and TGA (Australia) and is now being marketed worldwide.
The History
Michael Hawker, an electronics technician with experience in medical equipment, suffered multiple injuries after falling four meters, including fractured ribs and small wrist bones. Upon the removal of his plaster cast and pins, his surgeon emphasized the importance of exercise in the body's natural healing processes. The surgeon explained that physical activity creates an electrical potential across cell membranes, which aids in the exchange of essential ions necessary for cell regeneration. Injuries or degenerative conditions can cause pain that hinders exercise, thereby slowing down the healing process.
Three years later, Michael was introduced to Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Technology (PEMFT). Remembering the surgeon's explanation, he decided to investigate further. He formed a team comprising Ian Rumble, an electronics and software expert, Jayde Riggins, a biomedical scientist, and his wife Shirley Hawker, a former nurse. Their collective expertise and dedication led to the development of the OSKA Pulse.
Our company - Medic Technology International Pty. Ltd., is proud of OSKA Pulse and all it is achieving.
Our technology won TechCo's Startup of the Year in 2017 and, in 2018, the MedTech Breakthrough Award for the best new technology solution in pain management.
