What UltraMIST therapy is
UltraMIST is a low-frequency, non-contact ultrasound therapy. Instead of touching the wound, the device delivers ultrasound energy through a gentle saline mist that carries it to the wound bed. Because nothing presses on the tissue, the treatment can be applied even to tender or fragile wounds.
It is used as one part of a broader wound care plan rather than a replacement for it. Alongside cleansing, debridement when appropriate, and the right dressings, UltraMIST is applied to support the wound environment for chronic wounds that have been slow to progress. The clinician decides whether it is a suitable addition for a given wound.
How we deliver UltraMIST
Where possible the same clinician returns each visit, so the wound is measured and tracked closely across the course of therapy.
Suitability check
Review the wound and history to decide whether UltraMIST is an appropriate addition to care.
Bedside treatment
Deliver the non-contact ultrasound through a saline mist, with no direct pressure on the wound.
Integrated wound care
Combine the session with cleansing, dressings, and debridement when appropriate at the same visit.
Progress tracking
Measure and photograph the wound over the course of therapy to gauge response and adjust.
We continue to watch for infection, keep the rest of the wound plan moving, and share visit notes with progress photos with the ordering physician and facility.

- Patients with chronic wounds that have been slow to progress
- People with pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, or venous leg ulcers
