The FDA has issued two 510(k) clearances allowing Hollywog to market its WiTouch and WiTouch Pro wireless remote controlled devices for Chronic Back Pain. The WiTouch devices are the first wireless remote controlled pain relief device incorporating TENS technology to specifically target back pain. The WiTouch is cleared for over-the-counter, and the WiTouch Pro is cleared for prescription use. An advanced electronic design maximizes energy use providing over 150 30-minute treatment sessions per battery life. The WiTouch incorporates the �gate control� and �opiate release� theories of pain management in a 30 minute pre-programmed treatment cycle, and frequency modulation minimizes stimulation accommodation.
