General Info

BioCare Systems, Inc was co-founded in 1999 by Sherry Fox and her late husband, Joe Pecukonis, for the purpose of designing, developing and marketing new and innovative health-care devices that use deep-tissue light therapy to decrease pain, accelerate healing and improve quality of life. Prior to his death in 2001, Mr. Pecukonis, an electrical engineer and inventor, held 14 U.S. patents ; his 15th and most recent was granted posthumously in 2002 for the infrared-light therapy device he invented.Today, BioCare Systems continues to advance Pecukonis' work by bringing products to market based on his patented technology. The company received FDA clearance in 2004 to market its first non-surgical, deep-tissue, infrared-light therapy device, PremIR818. Predicated upon the proven science and therapeutic application of photo-biostimulation ( using light to stimulate natural biological processes in the areas where it is applied ), the device is cleared for the temporary relief/reduction of minor pain or discomfort associated with muscles ( including back pain caused by muscle tension ), joints, arthritis, sprains and strains.The company has patented technology with six patents issued and three patents pending for multiple products designed to address additional medical applications.
