Ultrasound MIST Therapy

One of the latest tools we offer is Ultrasound Mist Therapy, also known as MIST Therapy — a cutting-edge, non-contact treatment designed to gently accelerate wound healing.

What Is MIST Therapy?

MIST Therapy uses low-frequency ultrasound delivered through a fine saline mist to stimulate the healing process at and below the wound surface. Unlike traditional ultrasound therapy, MIST is typically non-contact, meaning it does not require touching the wound with the applicator. This makes it especially ideal for patients with painful, sensitive, or hard-to-reach wounds.

While we may occasionally use MIST Therapy in a contact-based format when clinically appropriate, the vast majority of our treatments are non-contact, ensuring maximum comfort and minimal disruption to the wound bed.

Why Use MIST Therapy?

MIST Therapy has been shown to accelerate wound healing by:

Reducing Bacterial Load: The ultrasound energy helps disrupt biofilms and reduce bacteria in and around the wound.
Enhancing Circulation: MIST promotes improved microcirculation, bringing essential oxygen and nutrients to the wound site.
Stimulating Cellular Activity: It encourages activity in key healing cells such as fibroblasts and endothelial cells, which support tissue regeneration.
Pain-Free Healing: The non-contact application is not only effective but also comfortable, making it an excellent option for patients with sensitive or painful wounds.

Supporting Debridement: MIST Therapy can aid in the removal of dead or non-viable tissue in a gentle, non-traumatic way.

Wounds That Benefit From MIST Therapy

MIST Therapy can be highly effective for a variety of acute and chronic wounds, including:

Diabetic foot ulcers
Venous leg ulcers
Pressure injuries (bedsores)
Surgical wounds
Traumatic wounds
Burns
Non-healing or stalled wounds

This therapy is especially beneficial when traditional treatments aren’t progressing as expected or when wounds are difficult to manage with other modalities.

What to Expect During MIST Therapy

A typical MIST Therapy session is quick, painless, and requires no direct contact with the wound in most cases. The clinician holds a small handheld device just above the wound bed, delivering the ultrasound mist in a gentle, controlled manner. Sessions usually last only a few minutes and are often performed several times a week, depending on your individualized care plan.

There’s no downtime, and patients frequently report a soothing or even cooling sensation during treatment.

Advanced, Gentle Healing Starts Here

Ultrasound Mist Therapy is part of our broader, personalized wound care program, designed to meet each patient where they are in the healing process. By integrating MIST Therapy with other advanced modalities, we aim to accelerate healing, minimize discomfort, and improve overall outcomes.

Is MIST Therapy Right for You?

If you or a loved one has a wound that isn’t healing properly — or if you’re simply looking for the most gentle, effective treatment options available — MIST Therapy may be an excellent addition to your care plan.
