As injuries sideline star players during National Basketball Association playoffs, the inventors of sustained acoustic medicine will present the FDA-cleared sam® device for soft tissue healing at the NBATA Sports Medicine Meeting in Chicago and the CATS Conference in Las Vegas. TRUMBULL, CONNECTICUT / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / The hamstring muscle injury that sidelined NBA star Steph Curry on May 6 is a reminder that the physical toll of playing basketball can sideline players at every level. The sam® wearable ultrasound unit from ZetrOZ Systems is clinically proven to accelerate recovery and healing of soft tissue injuries common in basketball. ZetrOZ Systems, inventors of sustained acoustic medicine, will exhibit the sam® device this week for National Basketball Association and college athletic trainers at two upcoming conferences: Basketball, with its blend of power, contact, explosive movement and sudden pivots, puts unique demands on athletes. Basketball players are particularly susceptible to injuries including hamstring and quadricep strains, ankle sprains, shoulder strains and patellar tendinopathy, or 'jumper's knee.' The physical demands are greater during the postseason, after the 82-game season and with the stakes of every game even higher. At the conferences, basketball trainers, sports medicine physicians and other medical professionals will see the latest research on the sam® wearable ultrasound device and see technology demonstrations at the ZetrOZ Systems booth. 'We're excited to have the opportunity to continue to educate NBA and college trainers about how they can use sam® to help their players get ready for practices and games, and get injured players back on the court,' said George K. Lewis, CEO of ZetrOZ Systems and the inventor of sustained acoustic medicine.

ZetrOZ Systems Announces Partnership with Arthritis Foundation to Transform Arthritis Patient Education
The developer of sustained acoustic medicine technology and the sam® wearable ultrasound device and number one resource for arthritis information will support the Foundation's efforts to provide resources and education to patients, families and caregivers. TRUMBULL, CONNECTICUT / ACCESS Newswire / May 2, 2025 / ZetrOZ Systems and the Arthritis Foundation announce a partnership with the potential to transform pain management for the 60 million adults in the U.S. living with arthritis. ZetrOZ Systems will work with the Foundation to raise awareness of pain management and treatment options for people with osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis. ZetrOZ Systems will sponsor the Foundation's upcoming "Arthritis Explained" podcast and support its national support group program. For more than 75 years, the Arthritis Foundation has been the nation's leader in advocacy, research and support for people with arthritis, a debilitating joint inflammation disease. Its mission is to drive funding for research toward a cure and new treatments for arthritis, to advocate for policies that eliminate barriers to arthritis care, and to help patients and their families find community and support through Arthritis Foundation resources. ZetrOZ Systems, based in Connecticut, is the inventor of sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® wearable ultrasound unit. Sustained acoustic medicine is a long-duration, continuous, multi-hour, high frequency ultrasound treatment defined in 48 U.S. and global patents and that has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating soft-tissue injuries. The treatment has been proven effective in 30 Level 1-5 clinical studies for treating osteoarthritis and other conditions, and through millions of treatments provided annually to patients across the United States. "This partnership brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to improving the lives of people living with osteoarthritis," said Beth Aulwes, Director of National Partnerships with the Arthritis Foundation. "As the leading resource of arthritis information and resources for patients, we welcome corporate partners like ZetrOZ who are committed to helping us provide education, resources and support for our patient community, including military veterans who are more likely to receive an arthritis diagnosis." "ZetrOZ Systems is honored to stand alongside one of the most trusted voices in arthritis care as ZetrOZ Systems works toward our longtime goal to help 100 million people manage pain without the use of opioids," said George K. Lewis, founder and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems and inventor of sustained acoustic medicine. Arthritis is one of the most prevalent diseases in the United States, affecting over one in five adults, more than are affected by diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease. The Arthritis Foundation estimates that nearly 60 million adults and hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. are living with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or related musculoskeletal diseases. Arthritis is also associated with dispensed opioid prescriptions and opioid use disorder, being commonly prescribed to treat pain resulting from both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, despite questions about opioids' efficacy and potential for leading to addiction. ZetrOZ Systems' sam® technology offers a way to treat arthritis pain without the use of potentially addictive painkillers. Sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® device work by generating continuous ultrasound waves in soft tissue, which reduces inflammation, increases blood vessel diameters, and improves blood flow. That in turn increases oxygenated hemoglobin at the site and removes cytokine enzymes and cellular waste. The result is more rapid healing and reduced pain. Multiple studies have demonstrated the efficacy of sustained acoustic medicine in treating soft-tissue injuries, including forms of arthritis. An article published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research reported on a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of patients with knee osteoarthritis. The group receiving sustained acoustic medicine treatment saw significant improvements in both pain reduction and restored joint function compared to the placebo group. The authors concluded: "Long-duration low-intensity ultrasound significantly reduced pain and improved joint function in patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis knee pain." "By working with the Arthritis Foundation, we're building momentum for a movement toward safer, smarter, and more accessible pain management," Lewis said. "We have the opportunity to change how arthritis is understood and treated across the country."

College Football's Quay'Sheed Scott Teams Up With ZetrOZ Systems as sam Brand Ambassador
The University of Kentucky freshman discovered the benefits of using sustained acoustic medicine and the wearable ultrasound unit to stay loose, reduce soreness and recover faster after practices and games. TRUMBULL, CONNECTICUT / / March 19, 2025 / Quay'sheed Scott had an impressive year as a freshman defensive back for the University of Kentucky Wildcats, playing 11 games even as he worked through injuries. One key to his season: SAM Recover, the ultrasound treatment with sam® (sustained acoustic medicine) system developed by ZetrOZ Systems. Scott is the latest high-level competitive athlete to sign on as a sam® Brand Ambassador, spreading the word about the benefits of using the sam® wearable ultrasound unit after practices and games. "Football is tough on your body, and if you're not staying on top of recovery, you're not gonna last," he said. "Partnering with SAM Recover gives me a chance to share something that really works with other players trying to stay healthy and on the field." Scott was a four-star recruit and played both cornerback and wide receiver at South Carolina's Marion High School before joining Kentucky. "My freshman season was a grind, but I feel blessed to have played in 11 games as a freshman, despite dealing with injuries," he said. "One of my favorite moments was getting my first career tackle against Ohio; that was a special feeling, just knowing all the work I put in to get here." He missed a game against rival Tennessee, but put in the work to recover, too. "I stayed locked in and made sure I did everything I could to recover fast," Scott said. "That's where my recovery routine came in - ice baths, stretching, and using tools like SAM Recover to help speed up healing. It kept me from missing more time and got me back on the field faster." Scott learned that the sam® wearable ultrasound unit is about more than just recovery from injuries - it also helps recover from the stresses of daily practice. "Every practice, every game takes a toll on your body, so you have to take care of it," Scott said. "SAM Recover helps with that by keeping my muscles loose and reducing soreness. It's not just about getting back after an injury - it's about staying ready and preventing little things from turning into big problems." Sustained acoustic medicine with sam® is long duration ultrasound treatment that provides warming deep in muscles, tendons and ligaments. That improves blood flow to the treated area, increasing oxygenated hemoglobin and removing cytokine enzymes and cellular waste, which speeds healing and reduces pain. "It's been a game-changer for me," Scott said. "I use it after practices and workouts, and it helps with soreness and recovery. When I was dealing with my injury, it helped speed up the healing process so I could get back out there quicker. Even when I'm not hurt, I use it to keep my body feeling right, especially after tough games. It's like having a trainer with me at all times." ZetrOZ Systems' sam® is the only FDA-cleared long-duration ultrasound device for prescription home-use to reduce pain, increase local circulation, and reduce joint stiffness/contracture. The wearable device is typically applied from one to four hours daily for six to eight weeks, accommodating the patient's everyday activities. "It's like having a personal recovery tool that works while you're just chilling," Scott said. "It helps with soreness, keeps your muscles loose, and can even speed up the healing process if you're dealing with an injury. A lot of guys wait until they're hurt to take recovery seriously, but SAM Recover is something that can help keep you in the game longer." Scott advises young athletes to take recovery seriously when training by stretching, hydrating, getting good sleep, and using the right recovery tools: "Things like SAM Recover can help you stay fresh and avoid injuries before they even happen. If you want to play at a high level for a long time, you have to put in the work on and off the field." The sam® sustained acoustic medicine system is part of Scott's routine, and he said he plans to keep it that way: "I use it after games, after workouts - whenever I feel like I need it. This game is all about being available and being ready, and SAM helps me do that." ZetrOZ Systems' sustained acoustic medicine and its sam® device line have been proven in 20 Level 1-5 clinical studies and articles in 42 peer-reviewed publications to accelerate the injury healing process, reduce pain and restore function, without the need for invasive surgery or potentially addictive painkillers. Thousands of people nationwide are treated with sam® every day.
