Stroke Rehabilitation System Biomove 3000 also Certified in Australia

Lifehealthcare, the largest distributor of medical equipment in Australia, will sell the Biomove in Australia.

Hashmonaim, Israel (PRWEB) June 8, 2007 --- Curatronic Ltd. announced today that the Australian Government has included the Biomove 3000 as medical device in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.

Lifehealthcare's National Clinical Liaison Manager Jenni Dabelstein said, "It is a great opportunity for our company to be able to offer such an outstanding product to stroke victims in Australia. After extensive trials at several major centers in Brisbane we concluded that the Biomove is an excellent product and we are pleased to offer this device to the many stroke survivors in Australia. Our company makes consistently efforts to bring innovative products to patients, thereby helping to improve the overall standards of stroke treatment in Australia."

Lifehealthcare (www.lifehealthcare.com.au) is Australia's leading hospital and rehabilitation supply and distribution company and provides an extensive range of hospital and rehabilitation supplies and equipment across Australia. Recently the company included Lifestyle & Rehab www.lr.com.au in their Hospital & Rehab Division, consolidating their leading position in the Australian market.

The Biomove 3000 system was developed for rehabilitation therapy at home following a stroke. The highly affordable battery-powered device detects extremely small electrical EMG signals that persist in spastic muscles after a stroke and uses these tiny signals to initiate an electrical stimulation impulse to these muscles, resulting in actual muscle movement by the patient.

Millions of people suffer from the debilitating effects of stroke. Fifty percent have some one-sided paralysis and seek effective treatment for their severe, long-term disabilities.

Ben Philipson, CEO of Curatronic Ltd. said, "We are very pleased that our economical, easy-to-use Biomove 3000 system will now also be available in this important market."
