Less itching and smelly and faster healing. What’s not to like?

This is what can happen when individuals are empowered. Look at the rates of innovation compared with the collectivist large factory.

It’s been known that load bearing exercises increase bone density. A few decades ago the Russians were experimenting with electrostimulation to speed up the healing of fractures, currents being on the order of microamps. I had been skeptical about this until discussing with some researchers from the Texas Medical Center complex about small electrical currents found in bone tissue while undergoing load bearing exercise stress, in a similar mechanism to a piezoelectric current in a quartz crystal that was mechanically cycled. So I can see the same kind of bone stimulation due to the ultrasonic transducers in this kind of “cast”, more like a custom splint.

I haven’t seen anyone with a plaster cast in years. All the ones I have seen lately are pretty lightweight fiberglass casts.

Still this looks pretty cool. Cool enough to ensure Obamacare will never cover them.
