What is BioniCare?
BioniCare is a non-invasive, non-drug treatment option for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and hand and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of the hand. The BioniCare system provides an electrical signal that stimulates the joint tissue to reduce the pain and symptoms of arthritis and improve function. The arthritic joint has a diminished electrical signal which likely contributes to the deterioration of the joint. BioniCare is the first and only proprietary signal and system demonstrated to be safe and effective in multiple clinical studies to reduce the pain and symptoms of arthritis.
Unlike all others
BioniCare’s patented signal was designed specifically for the treatment of pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is not to be confused with other stimulators, including a TENS device, that only provides temporary pain relief by blocking pain signals. The stimulation is subsensory, which means that the patient does not feel the stimulation. It treats the underlying cause of the disease by stimulating the joint tissue and improving the overall health of the joint. It provides a slow-acting, but longer-lasting improvement in symptoms. The BioniCare system is clinically proven to reduce the pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis.
The BioniCare Hand System
The BioniCare Hand System consists of
Conductive Glove
Conductive Glove—the glove provides a gentle compression and connects the signal generator to the electrodes.
Signal Generator
The BIO-2000 device delivers the electrical signal that relieves the pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis. The BIO-2000 device is secured to the glove on the back of the wrist and connects via a short lead wire.
Electrodes
The electrodes wrap around each knuckle at the tip of each finger and thumb. A square dispersive pad is used on the underside of the wrist. The signal enters at the ends of the fingers and stimulates each joint in the hand before returning to the wrist.

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the hand
BioniCare is a non-invasive, non-drug alternative for the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the hand. It treats the underlying cause of the disease by stimulating the joint tissue and improving the overall health of the joint. It does not affect the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys or liver and does not carry the risk of infection. Patients using BioniCare report decreased pain, decreased joint stiffness, improved range of motion and often reduce their NSAID intake. BioniCare is a long-term solution for a degenerative (long-term) disease. The only risk of the BioniCare device is a possible skin irritation from the use of the electrodes.
If you are suffering from arthritis pain and either have difficulty taking medications due to their side effects or prefer to control your pain and symptoms with minimal reliance on medications, BioniCare may be right for you.
