“I've had 3 bone marrow procedures done the traditional way, and each time was
worse than the last in terms of pain, duration of procedure, and recovery time
after the procedure. When I had the OnControl device used on me, the difference
was night and day — for the better in every conceivable way.”
David, CML patient
Because the last thing you need is more pain, the first thing you need is
OnControl.
Now there's a better way.
Bone marrow biopsies are very important for cancer patients, it allows your
clinician to diagnose and stage your disease. But this procedure is constantly
described as the worst part of a patient's treatment and there is a high level
of anxiety attached to the procedure. Vidacare Corporation understands that
there is a need to make the procedure a better one for cancer patients; this is
why we have developed a new system that will make the procedure easier on
patients and will provide your clinician with a better biopsy sample*. The one
and only goal of undergoing this procedure is to get an accurate report on the
state of the patient's bone marrow, and OnControl can provide an excellent
quality core sample.
Our goal is to make this procedure quick, easy and worthwhile for patients and
clinicians. By attaching a powered driver to a specially designed needle, we
have created a system that makes bone marrow biopsies simple for your clinician
and easier on patients.

“I was scared to death of this procedure and had been dreading it for weeks.
The bone marrow procedure itself lasted less than a minute. It wasn't painful,
all I felt was a little pressure. I just think of all the people and children
having to tget this same procedure and this [OnControl] can help them with their
fears. This is a great product.”
Franke, patient
“Just lying on the table waiting for the next move is a major anxiety. With your
[OnControl] device, it was over quickly, and afterward, I noticed I was not as
sore as the ones before. The bone marrow aspiration is the WORST part of my
treatment – it is worse than being hooked up to an IV for five hours. Your
system is definitely better.”
Ryan, Leukemia patient
“The OnControl system was nothing short of amazing. Our doctor got through the
bone in less than 15 seconds, as opposed to 30+ minutes. Unbelievable! The whole
procedure took less than two minutes and the sample was PERFECT. No question –
perfect. I feel like we got an accurate reading from the lab with such an
excellent sample to work with.”
Tracy, Wife of Leukemia patient
