SEOUL, South Korea,
Sept. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
WellsCare, a member company of the Born2Global Centre, recently
signed a store contract with b8ta, a famous American flagship store
that is dedicated to innovative products. WellsCare has been an
active member of the Born2Global Centre since 2019.
Based on the contract, WellsCare will be selling IASO, its
hands-free wearable cold laser pain relief device, at all 18 b8ta
locations in the United States.
Starting in October with the New
York, San Francisco,
Texas, and Seattle stores, IASO will be made available
sequentially in stores throughout the country.
IASO is the global brand of Epione, a wearable smart LoT laser
therapy device developed independently by WellsCare.
IASO is capable of treating not only VDT (visual display
terminals syndrome), a group of disorders that includes carpal
tunnel and turtle neck (straight neck) syndromes, that are caused
by the excessive use of smartphones and personal computers, but
also providing at-home treatment for sports injuries (tennis elbow,
golfer's elbow, etc.) and chronic diseases. Its defining
characteristic is its use of cold laser technology, which is used
by orthopedic and rehabilitative hospitals for pain treatment,
rather than low-frequency massage/LED technologies.
WellsCare CEO Lee Sung-won said,
"B8ta's decision to sell IASO in its stores proves both our
product's innovativeness and the fact that it is highly marketable
and has significant growth potential in the United States, the world's largest market
for medical devices. We hope to broaden our international sales
channels, both online and offline, by cementing IASO's unrivaled
status in the home healthcare device market, which is gaining
increasing recognition due to COVID-19."
WellsCare was also recently granted a Class III medical device
permit by the Korean government. The outcomes of clinical tests of
IASO conducted at large Korean hospitals will soon be published in
a US-based academic journal on clinical testing.
