REDWOOD CITY, Calif., 2013-11-20 13:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Myoscience is pleased to announce that the design for the iovera* system has
won top honors in the Spark International design competition. The iovera*
system was awarded the highest honor (Spark!) in the category of product
design, which is a general category that includes medical devices as well as
consumer electronics, cookware, and even sports equipment. Myoscience
collaborated with LUNAR to design the iovera* system. 'We're honored to have
worked with myoscience to design a beautiful and effective device that will
help improve the quality of life for countless people,' says Jeff Salazar at
LUNAR.
The Spark Awards are given based on two primary criteria: the design innovation
and creativity, and the impact it will have on quality of life. The iovera*
system is a new take on the safe and reliable use of cold in medicine; by
miniaturizing and refining the delivery system to be smaller and more precise,
the treatments can be tailored to specific indications. The iovera* system has
already improved the quality of life for many who have been treated,
immediately reducing pain and enabling people to return to their favorite
activities as well as smoothing forehead wrinkles for improved appearance.
The iovera? system, developed by myoscience, inc. in California, harnesses the
power of cold using Focused Cold Therapy(TM), the advanced technology that
powers the device. The iovera* treatment works immediately for both health and
beauty applications without leaving any toxins or chemicals behind in the body.
iovera* is approved in the European Union and Canada for the treatment of
wrinkles, and is used for the treatment of pain in the United States.
'We designed the iovera* system to be sophisticated and intuitive,' says
myoscience CEO Clint Carnell. 'It has only one button and fits ergonomically in
the physician's hand. Our talented team of engineers and the team of designers
at LUNAR who worked hard to ensure we created a product that is not only
beautiful to look at, but delivers an elegant result that will immediately ease
pain or reduce wrinkles. I am very proud of my team at myoscience who made this
concept into a reality.'
