Dong-A ST Signs Exclusive Domestic Sales Contract for JSon High-Frequency Stimulator

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Dong-A ST announced on the 14th that it has signed an exclusive domestic sales contract for the high-frequency thermal device ‘Hiper-330’ with JSon, a company specializing in high-frequency thermal devices.

JSon is a company specializing in high-frequency medical devices based on high-frequency RF specialized technology. A high-frequency stimulator is a medical device that applies high-frequency wave energy of over 100,000 Hz to the human body to alleviate various musculoskeletal inflammations and pain. It is used in hospitals for physical therapy and other treatments.

The high-frequency thermal device Hiper-330, which Dong-A ST will exclusively sell domestically, differs from existing products by using a variable frequency. When using variable frequency, the frequency is automatically modulated within the 3 to 5 MHz range according to the different resistance values between normal and abnormal tissues in the human body. Accordingly, the output is also automatically variable, making it effective for pain treatment, and its operating principle concept differs from devices that output a fixed frequency.

The biggest side effects of high-frequency stimulators are burns and sparks. The Hiper-330 enhances safety by blocking these side effects using two insulated probes coated with special materials and JSon’s patented technology A-IPM. It is also highly praised for significantly improving customer convenience by allowing patient treatment without undressing.

A Dong-A ST official stated, “The domestic high-frequency thermal device market is still considered an untapped field, and the market is mostly occupied by imported products applying fixed frequency methods. We believe that by promoting the unique advantages of Hiper-330 and expanding sales, we can secure a meaningful market share.”
