Ultrasound Healing Therapy that provides More care

UltraMIST Therapy in Austin

At Outcomes Therapy, we are proud to offer UltraMIST Therapy, an FDA-cleared, non-contact ultrasound wound care treatment now available to patients in Austin, San Antonio, and the surrounding communities.

UltraMIST uses low-frequency ultrasound waves delivered through a gentle saline mist to promote healing in chronic and hard-to-heal wounds. The device never touches the wound directly, making it a completely painless treatment. Unlike surface-level wound dressings, the sound waves penetrate into and below the wound bed to address the root barriers that prevent healing: bacteria, chronic inflammation, and poor blood flow.

What makes Outcomes Therapy different is that UltraMIST is a service we offer by itself or with our other services. Every visit may be availed with a full hour of skilled physical therapy alongside the treatment. And we bring it all directly to you, whether at home, in assisted living, a senior living community, or a post-acute care setting, three or more times per week, as clinically appropriate.

More care. Better healing. Stronger patients.

Introducing UltraMIST Therapy for Patients with Chronic Wounds

What Can UltraMIST Therapy Help With?

  • Diabetic Foot Ulcers: One of the most serious complications of diabetes, diabetic foot ulcers are prone to infection and slow healing. UltraMIST targets the bacteria, inflammation, and poor circulation that make these wounds so difficult to treat.
  • Pressure Injuries and Bed Sores: For patients with limited mobility, pressure injuries can develop and worsen quickly. UltraMIST helps prevent progression and promotes faster resolution.
  • Venous Stasis Ulcers: Caused by poor circulation in the legs, venous ulcers are notoriously slow to heal. UltraMIST improves blood flow directly to the wound bed.
  • Arterial Ulcers: These wounds result from reduced blood supply to the limbs and require consistent, advanced care. UltraMIST supports circulation and tissue repair.
  • Post-Surgical Wounds: After surgery, some wounds stall or fail to close properly. UltraMIST helps clean the wound environment and stimulate the body's natural repair process.
  • Skin Tears and Traumatic Wounds: Sudden injuries that are struggling to heal respond well to the antibacterial and circulation-boosting effects of UltraMIST.
  • Non-Healing and Chronic Wounds: If your wound has not improved after 30 or more days of standard wound care, UltraMIST may be the next step.

How Does UltraMIST Therapy Work?

  • Bacteria and Biofilm Reduction: UltraMIST mechanically destroys bacterial cell walls using ultrasound wave force, including antibiotic-resistant strains like MRSA and VRE, without any medication. It also disrupts biofilm, the protective layer bacteria build that antibiotics cannot penetrate. Clinical research has shown up to 100% risk reduction in certain bacteria strains.
  • Inflammation Reduction: Chronic wounds get stuck in a prolonged inflammatory state that actively blocks healing. UltraMIST reduces the pro-inflammatory signals keeping the wound stalled, allowing the body to shift into active tissue repair. A University of Miami study showed 45% mean wound size reduction in just 4 weeks.
  • Improved Blood Flow: UltraMIST expands existing blood vessels and stimulates the formation of entirely new ones. Mayo Clinic research confirmed measurable improvement in blood flow just 10 minutes after a single treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UltraMIST Therapy?

UltraMIST is an FDA-cleared wound care treatment that uses low-frequency ultrasound delivered through a saline mist to promote healing. It is non-contact, painless, and designed for chronic and hard-to-heal wounds.

Who is a good candidate?

You may be a good candidate if your wound has not improved after 30 or more days of standard wound care, if less than 50% of the wound area has reduced with standard treatment, or if traditional debridement methods are too painful or not safe for you.

How long does a treatment take?

Sessions typically take between 3 and 20 minutes depending on the size of the wound. Every UltraMIST visit at Outcomes Therapy may also be availed with a full hour of skilled physical therapy.

How often will I be treated?

Treatment is most effective when delivered two to three times per week or more. Our team comes directly to you so frequency is never limited by transportation.

Does insurance cover UltraMIST?

Yes, available for patients with Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Coverage eligibility is determined individually based on diagnosis and insurance criteria.
