What we do
KevMed, LLC is dedicated to the relief of chronic pelvic
pain and related disorders by providing, novel, safe
and non-invasive therapies
.
Why we do it
Over 15 million patients in the USA suffer from a
number of overlapping disorders that include pelvic
pain, abdominal
pain, Adhesion Related Disorder (ARD), bowel obstruction,
endometriosis, interstitial cystitis (IC), painful bladder
syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), vulvodynia,
dyspareunia (painful intercourse), dyschezia (painful
defecation), adhesions, sacroiliac joint pain, pudendal
neuralgia and pelvic floor dysfunction.
Numerous patients undergo hysterectomy in an effort to
alleviate their pain, only to discover that the procedure
worsens their condition. In extreme cases, patients will
also report fibromyalgia, temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
disorders (TMD) and reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD)
or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Patients suffering with these conditions often resort
to using opioids and other medications whose side-effects
create additional problems, leaving patients with very
few treatment options. It is our goal to change that.
How we do it
Our first product is PainShield® MD, a new wearable
device that delivers low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound,
which promises to be a non-invasive, drug-free alternative
for pain management in patients who suffer from debilitating
pelvic pain.
In patients with long-standing, difficult-to-treat
pain, PainShield MD has been found to significantly
reduce pain associated with a number of pelvic and
abdominal conditions, including interstitial cystitis,
irritable bowel syndrome and chronic pelvic pain. A
number of patients have been able to reduce or eliminate
their use of medications, including opioids.
PainShield MD
•
is lightweight, wearable, portable and smaller than
a TV remote
•
can be used almost anywhere and anytime - at home,
work or the clinic, or even while sleeping
•
offers simple hands-free operation
Who are we?
KevMed, LLC was born from the work of the International
Adhesions Society (IAS), which provides information,
support and advocacy to patients and their families
suffering from Adhesion Related Disorder (ARD) and
Complex Abdominal and Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CAPPS).
The IAS was founded and funded by Synechion, Inc.,
a research and consulting company specializing in
the science and business of adhesions and based on
the
internationally recognized expertise of its founder,
Dr. David Wiseman. Ground-breaking research by the
IAS has opened up new understandings of these conditions
and their treatment from the perspective of the patient.
This research has in turn resulted in the identification
of PainShield MD as a novel and effective treatment
option for pain.
