WAVE is an OTC, reusable medical device, for home use, that provides a drug-free treatment for menstrual pain. The device generates vibratory stimulus at a nominal vibration frequency of 125 hz, which is in the same frequency range as standard TENS devices, but employs a different mechanism of action. The vibration unit is attached via a thin flexible shaft that allows it to be comfortably inserted in the patients vagina for the recommended one (1) hour treatment period, after which the device is removed & cleaned. A single one (1) hour treatment is normally sufficient to relieve or significantly reduce menstrual cramps for the duration of the patient’s cycle.

The vibratory stimulus (125 hz) is delivered through through a medical grade Stainless-Steel capsule with a rounded tip. This capsule is connected to a soft biocompatible jacket which extends continuously down the length of the shaft, forming a closed system covering all features with smooth and sealed transitions, and ending at the battery/power switch module. The shaft portion of the device is 100 mm in length and 4 mm in diameter. The shaft design (patent pending) is rigid enough to aid with the insertion of the vibrator, yet flexible enough to conform to different vaginal anatomies. The vibratory stimulus can be turned on and off at the battery/power switch module through a button on the side. The device is powered by a conventional single-use, Alkaline, watch battery. On the opposite side of the module there is a removable battery cover. The entire device is waterproof (IP67), thereby allowing washing of the device between uses. WAVE is intended for multiple uses by a single individual.
For highest efficacy, WAVE should be inserted into the posterior fornix region of the vagina. The device’s thin and flexible shaft assists in easy insertion and proper placement while allowing for complete freedom of movement when in place.
Once in place, the user presses the power button to activate the vibration motor. The motor may be turned off by holding the power button for two seconds. A fresh battery will power the device between 60 and 90 minutes, which is the duration of a given treatment. After removal, the device is easily cleaned with warm water and mild soap. The unit should be stored (once completely dried) with the spent battery removed.
