  • To develop an easy-to-use smart therapeutic device for prevention and treatment of knee joint degeneration diseases

  • This is the world’s first patented home medical therapeutic device to provide treatments on the knee popliteal fossa
  • 3-in-1 rechargeable device, with medical-grade low-level laser therapy, FDA-regulation thermotherapy, and deep-tissue stimulation, can promote tissue repairing, blood and lymphatic circulation, and reduce inflammation
  • Exclusive biomedical-combination treatment technology, based on our “dose” and “formula” research, can help to provide even better therapeutic effects

  • With ergonomics design, this device can be compatible for different applications
  • Advantages: portable, light weight, and low cost
