Wave Therapeutics provides healthtech solutions aimed at preventing pressure injuries, primarily through its flagship product, the Wave Therapeutic Cushion. This active therapeutic wheelchair cushion employs a microprocessor-controlled peristaltic pump to alleviate pressure hot spots, enhance tissue reperfusion, and improve blood circulation. The cushion is designed for use by mobility-impaired individuals, including seniors, veterans, patients with spinal cord injuries, and other short-term users. In addition to the wheelchair cushion, the company is developing a range of therapeutic products, including mattress toppers and consumer-oriented solutions for long-haul drivers and office workers. Wave Therapeutics markets its products to healthcare facilities and end users primarily in the United States, targeting regions with significant populations of at-risk individuals. 

Wave Therapeutics generates revenue through direct sales of its therapeutic products to healthcare institutions and individual consumers. The company’s transaction model is structured around B2B partnerships with medical facilities as well as D2C sales to patients in need of pressure injury prevention solutions. Revenue is derived from the sale of its flagship product, the Wave Therapeutic Cushion, and future product offerings that will adopt similar pricing strategies. 

In November 2024, Wave Therapeutics, Inc. raised an amount of Seed funding from investor Nurse Capital. This funding will be utilized to continue its operational expansion and development programs. The company plans to design and launch new therapeutic products, including additional versions of the Wave Therapeutic Cushion, and explore expansion into new markets with high demands for pressure injury prevention solutions.
