Nano-Pulse Stimulation™ (NPS™) technology
Pulse Biosciences supports clinical research dedicated to the development of scientific evidence supporting improvements in the use of NPS technology. Scientific publications, presentations, abstracts and posters are provided below for educational purposes to the use of NPS technology in the clinical setting.
The CellFX® System uses Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS) technology and has been cleared by the FDA with indication of use in dermatologic procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin. The intended use of the CellFX System is for the reduction, removal and/or clearance of cellular-based benign lesions.
