REDWOOD CITY, Calif., 2014-01-07 15:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Myoscience is pleased to announce that the iovera*(r) system has won in the
medical category of the GOOD DESIGN(TM) competition. GOOD DESIGN recognizes the
world's most important consumer design products and is one of the most
prestigious and oldest design awards. The awards are organized annually by The
Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in cooperation with the
European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies.
Over 700 new products and graphic designs were selected from more than 38
countries for categories including electronics, robotics, children's products
and transportation. The winning entries were awarded for innovation in a
variety of areas such as sustainability, creativity, human impact, technology
and universal design.
The iovera* system, developed by myoscience, inc. harnesses the power of cold
using Focused Cold Therapy(TM), the advanced technology that powers the device.
The iovera* treatment works immediately for both health and beauty applications
without leaving any toxins or chemicals behind in the body. The iovera* system
is approved in the European Union and Canada for the treatment of wrinkles, and
is FDA cleared for the treatment of pain in the United States.
'The iovera* system was designed to change the way that physicians address the
temporary treatment for pain and wrinkles,' says myoscience CEO Clint Carnell.
'The Focused Cold Therapy technology enables physicians to treat using only the
power of cold delivered with a simple and intuitive one-button device. The
engineers and designers at LUNAR worked hard in collaboration with the
myoscience team to ensure we created a beautiful and effective product.' This
is the second design award for the iovera* system, following on the heels of
the Spark! Design award, where the iovera* system received the highest honors
in the general consumer design category.
