  SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Apr 17 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 ActiPatchonline.com debuts on the Internet today offering health consumers a
choice for drug free treatment of pain and swelling in the form of a wafer thin
wearable patch. ActiPatch(TM) made by BioElectronics Corporation (PINKSHEETS:
BIEL), is an FDA cleared drug-free patch designed to reduce pain and
swelling for use in reducing edema (swelling) following blepharoplasty and
has no known side effects.

    ActiPatch is based on the same proven and highly effective pulsed
electromagnetic in-office therapy used for decades by physicians, therapists and
athletic trainers worldwide. The inventors of ActiPatch have used
state-of-the-art micro electronic circuitry to shrink the technology into an
inexpensive, small, lightweight wearable patch that effectively reduces swelling
(edema) and significantly accelerates the healing process.

    Andrew Whelan, CEO of BioElectronics Corporation, explains, "When the soft
tissues of the body are injured, swelling disconnects cellular communication in
an
attempt to prevent the spread of infection. In cases of injury, trauma or
after antiseptic surgical procedures, however, this normal inflammatory
response causes discomfort and pain without contributing to the healing process.
In fact, in many cases and especially for surgical wounds, this swelling is
usually
more damaging than helpful. ActiPatch therapy is directed toward re-establishing
cell communication, and suppressing the edemic response. The technology on which
ActiPatch is based, electrotherapy, has been used for decades to reduce pain
andswelling following injury. The clinical evidence of its efficacy is
overwhelming and is supported by multiple scientific studies."

    Physicians Marketing Concepts, LLC offers a complete line of ActiPatch
products at
www.actipatchonline.com.  The products are designed for soft tissue injuries
as well as for post surgical treatment.  Products include ActiPatch kits for
plastic surgery recovery, back pain and sports injuries as well as individual
