Avalon Holding Group Subsidiary Painmaster Products Announces Launch of Painmaster MCT Patch
CARSON CITY, NV, Feb 11, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Painmaster Products Inc., a subsidiary of Avalon Holding Group, Inc.
(OTCQB: AVLH), today announced the launch of their new product, the
Painmaster MCT Patch. The Painmaster Patch has been successfully
prescribed and used by doctors, chiropractors and sports medicine
professionals for nearly a decade, but now the company has received
FDA clearance to sell direct to consumers for self-administration.
Utilizing micro current therapy (MCT), the patch provides both a
drug-free solution to pain therapy and an efficient delivery system
through localized electrical stimulation treatment delivering
continuous relief for up to 250 hours.
Industry analysts estimate that more than 1.5 billion people around
the world suffer from chronic pain, making it the number one reason
patients seek medical care. In fact, studies have shown that pain
leads to more than 50 million lost workdays each year. The cost of
pain, including medical bills and lost workdays, is estimated at $100
billion per year.
The U.S. market for pain management therapeutics is estimated to
generate more than $40 billion and is predicted to grow to $60
billion by 2015. This market includes treatments for a wide range of
conditions including post-operative pain, cancer pain, arthritis
pain, migraine pain, neuropathic pain and back pain. This medical
segment consists of products such as opioids, nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen, local anesthetics, tricyclic
antidepressants, anticonvulsants, patient-controlled dosing, implants
and electrical stimulation.
"Many pain medications, while effective, cause unwanted side effects
such as nausea, vomiting, constipation and somnolence," said Dennis
Shafer, chief executive officer of Avalon Holding Group and
Painmaster Products Inc. "We are excited to be introducing a new
effective delivery system for pain management with no side effects.
Our affordable MCT product is truly one of a kind."
The Painmaster MCT Patch differs from other electrical stimulation
patch products because it does not require a controller, making it
much more convenient and easy to wear. Just stick the patch to your
body in the painful area, turn it on and wear it wherever you go.
Additionally, this product is at a much lower price point than other
similar products on the market, some of which cost as much as $150.
Painmaster lasts up to 250 hours and currently sells for only $19.95
with replacement patches on sale for $9.95 for a pack of four.
The Painmaster Patch is being promoted on direct response TV, with
the ability for anyone to order the product through a toll-free
number or via http://www.painmasterpatch.com.
