ZetrOZ Systems Promotes Injury Healing Awareness During MLB Spring Training
Soft tissue injuries like UCL tears, hamstring pulls and oblique strains are more common early in the season, but non-invasive treatment technology, sam®Recover can help athletes recover faster and stay on the field.
TRUMBULL, CONNECTICUT / ACCESS Newswire / March 24, 2025 / Halfway through baseball's spring training, Gerrit Cole, one of the top players in the game, announced his season was over because of a torn elbow ligament. While severe cases like Cole's are unusual, soft tissue injuries are part of baseball and other sports. ZetrOZ Systems' sam® (sustained acoustic medicine) device can help athletes recover more quickly and return to their sports through its ability to promote soft tissue healing.
The sam® device is a high frequency, long-duration wearable ultrasound unit documented to speed injury healing in 20 Level 1-5 clinical studies and more than 40 peer-reviewed publications. sam® has proven effective in reducing pain and restoring function for conditions including knee osteoarthritis, shoulder and neck pain, and a range of musculoskeletal injuries.
Such injuries are common during pre-season training, when players push themselves to get into condition after the off-season. A 2019 study in The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine found about 40% of hamstring injuries in baseball occur in April and May. Similarly, a 2021 report from the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery found thatUCL injuries in baseball peaked in April and May.
During the training season, the sam® X1 and sam® 2.0 devices can help players recover from the stresses and strains of practices and games.
"Spring training is a crucial time for players to prepare for the season, and staying healthy is the top priority," said Dr. George K. Lewis, founder and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems. "Our sustained acoustic medicine technology provides athletes with a clinically proven to speed up recovery and optimize performance."
Among many studies demonstrating sam®'s efficacy, a 2015 level 4 clinical study by sports medicine experts at The Ohio State University and Duke University found sustained acoustic medicine delivered via ZetrOZ Sytems' sam® device reduced pain and improved strength in patients' medial/lateral elbow tendons and Achilles' tendons.
sam®'s Role in Recovery from Common Baseball Injuries
Rotator cuff strains and tendinitis: sam® delivers ultrasound therapy to promote faster healing and reduce pain, allowing pitchers and position players prone to shoulder overuse injuries to regain mobility and strength without relying on medication.Elbow injuries (UCL Strains & Tendinitis): sam®'s deep-tissue treatment enhances circulation and reduces stiffness in affected areas, including repetitive throwing motions, which can lead to elbow inflammation and strain.Hamstring strains: sam® provides therapeutic ultrasound to improve tissue elasticity and decrease downtime because quick bursts of running and sudden stops put tremendous stress on the hamstrings.Oblique strains: sam® manages pain and supports faster rehabilitation when dealing with swinging and rotational movements, which can lead to core muscle injuries.
Athletic trainers, medical professionals, and elite athletes have endorsed the sam® wearable ultrasound unit for its effectiveness in rehabilitation from injuries. ZetrOZ Systems invented sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® line in part with funding from the National Institute of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, and NASA.
ZetrOZ Systems products are designed and manufactured in the United States and are protected by 48 U.S. and international patents. The devices are the only FDA-cleared wearable ultrasound units approved for daily home use.

WaterField's New All-Day Shinjuku Duffel Masters Work, Workout, and Weekends
San Francisco's WaterField Designs introduces the Shinjuku Duffel, featuring dedicated spaces for office gear, clothing, and quick-access essentials. The new carryall combines the professional aesthetic of a briefcase with expanded capacity for fitness and travel, allowing busy professionals to navigate their day with a single, sophisticated bag. SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco's WaterField Designs introduces the Shinjuku Duffel, the latest addition to the company's Shinjuku Collection, inspired by the dynamic energy of Tokyo's Shinjuku district. Crafted from ultra-lightweight, water-resistant X-Pac® Canvas or traditional waxed canvas with premium full-grain leather accents, the new compact duffel features three distinct compartments that elegantly organize the essentials of today's digital nomads – from protecting tech devices on daily commutes, to storing gear for lunchtime workouts, to organizing necessities for overnight trips. VIDEO: Tour the Shinjuku Duffel "Many professionals juggle multiple bags throughout their day – a briefcase for work, a gym bag for fitness, and yet another weekender bag for overnight trips," explained company owner Gary Waterfield. "Our Shinjuku Duffel is your ideal everyday, all-day holdall that blends professional aesthetics and flexible functionality for an efficient way to carry just one handsome bag throughout your day." The Shinjuku Duffel's intelligent design solves common carryall frustrations. The bag's layout, structure, and ample organization allow it to hold an overnight's worth of gear without being large and bulky—nothing is swimming around. Its size and quick-access pockets facilitate smooth commuting, so users aren't fishing for their wallet in a large black hole or swinging an unruly bag shaped like a battering ram in crowded spaces. The Shinjuku Duffel's three-zone organization system includes: a dedicated office compartment with padded laptop and tablet sleeves; a spacious main compartment for personal, fitness, or overnight necessities with organization pockets and a collapsible water bottle sleeve; and a full-length zippered front pocket for quick-access items with internal organization and a key tether. This thoughtful separation of work gear from clothing and smaller items caters to commuters, hybrid workers, and frequent travelers. A rear magnetic pocket securely holds passports and other valuables against the body. The main compartment features a full-length zipper that extends down the sides allowing the bag to open wide, while internal gussets keep contents in place. This feature enables users to easily pack, locate, and access items anywhere in the duffel bag, even those at the bottom. A gold, water-resistant liner brightens the interior eliminating the "black hole" effect common to standard duffels. The bright liner also resists stains and wipes clean easily. The Shinjuku Duffel is offered in X-Pac® Canvas – a high-performance textile that combines ultra-lightweight, water-resistant, and highly durable X-Pac® with canvas for a soft touch – making the bag feel light even when fully packed. The duffel is also available in rugged waxed canvas for those preferring a classic, well-traveled aesthetic. Both options feature sumptuous full-grain leather accents. Features: Three custom compartments: A dedicated office section with a padded laptop sleeve with charging cutouts (for up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro), a padded tablet pocket (for up to a 13-inch iPad Pro), and a full-length document pocket. A spacious main compartment with four elevated translucent mesh pockets and a retractable water bottle holder. A three-quarter zipper opens wide and internal gussets keep contents secure. A pleated full-length front quick-access pocket with internal mesh pockets, pen slots, and a key tether. A hidden, magnetic rear pocket holds passports, transit cards, and other quick-access items. Closed-cell foam padding on front, rear, and bottom panels add structure and enhance protection and durability. Gold, easy-clean liner illuminates interior for enhanced visibility. Three carry options ease transport: comfortable leather-wrapped handles, suitcase handle pass-through, and WaterField's removable Supreme Suspension Strap. Available in ultra-light, abrasion and water-resistant X-Pac® Canvas or traditional waxed canvas, each paired with full-grain leather accents, YKK waterproof zippers, and custom metal hardware combine for a look suitable in both formal and casual settings. Handcrafted to exacting standards in San Francisco with a lifetime warranty for defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifetime. The Shinjuku Duffel is the sixth addition this year to WaterField's Shinjuku Collection of bags, inspired by Tokyo's vibrant trendy neighborhood, each designed to combine mobility and accessibility with sophisticated styling. The new duffel joins WaterField's collection of carryall bags for active professionals.

Top MLB insider proposes ‘match made in heaven' New York Yankees trade with division rival
A notable MLB insider recently proposed a trade idea for the New York Yankees to fill a couple of roster needs for the stretch run with a pair of impact players from rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite ace Gerrit Cole being out for the season, Giancarlo Stanton yet to have played a game, and Juan Soto in Queens, the Yankees own one of the best records in the American League. Yet, for as good as they have been this season, they have some clear weaknesses in the infield and bullpen they need to address if they want to get back to the World Series in the fall. Advertisement Also Read: New York Yankees game today – Get a look at upcoming Yankees schedule Well, with that in mind, ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan offered up an intriguing idea for the New York to improve their weak spots via a surprise trade with division rivals the Tampa Bay Rays. 'Intradivision trades are never easy to execute. But the possibility of Brandon Lowe and a relief arm makes sense,' he wrote. 'Regardless of what the Yankees do at the deadline, they've given themselves a nice cushion in the AL East. And were the class of the division through Memorial Day. 'Lowe's career numbers at Yankee Stadium are admittedly abysmal. But his left-handed stroke and the short porch in right field feel like a match made in heaven.' Advertisement As Passan notes, trades inside the division are always difficult to complete. The idea of helping a rival club get better and potentially reach or win a World Series is usually more than enough to sink discussions before they really get going. The Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and Toronto Blue Jays would likely need an offer they can't refuse to make a deal that helps the Yankees. However, the Rays are not as petty. And are willing to deal talent if it moves money off their books and gets them intriguing prospects in return. The two clubs have made trades before, and it is certainly a possibility this summer.

World's First Needle-Free Procedure Targeting Deep Facial Muscles and Skin, EMFACE® by BTL Aesthetics Surpasses 1 Million Global Treatments, Drives Rapid Adoption in Singapore's Aesthetic Market
SINGAPORE, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EMFACE® the groundbreaking non-invasive natural facial lifting treatment developed by BTL Aesthetics (BTL), has surpassed 1 million treatments worldwide within the first two years of its introduction. This global milestone is a testament to EMFACE®'s position as the leading non-invasive aesthetic treatment, leveraging breakthrough technology to invent the first needle-free procedure capable of effectively providing deep facial muscle toning and skin tightening for a more lifted and youthful appearance. Launched in the United States in 2022 and introduced to Singapore in March 2023, the award- winning EMFACE® quickly gained traction among aesthetic practitioners and patients seeking effective non-invasive facial rejuvenation in major markets such as the United States, Europe, Singapore, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. According to various doctors, the demand for non-invasive aesthetic treatments in Singapore continues to rise due to reduced stigma as aesthetic treatments are increasingly viewed as a form of self-care, as reported by Channel News Asia[1]. Additionally, The Straits Times[2] has also highlighted that advancements in technology are providing more convenient solutions with minimal downtime, allowing for more accessible and efficient treatments. "In recent years, we have seen a major shift in what patients are looking for – effective treatments that deliver natural-looking results without needles, surgery, or extended recovery times. Today's consumers are busy and want options that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles, and non-invasive treatments are answering that call," said Dr. Lynn Chiam, Dermatologist at the Children & Adult Skin Hair Laser Clinic. Channel News Asia[1] has also noted that The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported an average increase of 40 new licensed providers offering aesthetic services between 2020 and 2023. As more individuals seek effective and non-invasive options to achieve their desired appearance, this surge reflects the increasing preference for non-invasive treatments like EMFACE®, with demand expected to grow even further. To cater to the growing demand for non-invasive aesthetic treatments, EMFACE® effectively targets the facial elevator muscles for a natural lift in just 20 minutes, with no pain and no downtime. Although tangible results can be seen right after the treatments, a minimum of four sessions can deliver truly optimal results. Additionally, a fully personalized treatment plan can be curated by trusted Aesthetic Providers. EMFACE® is the first device in the market to utilise High-intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) and Synchronized RF technologies. HIFES™ selectively tones the face-elevating muscles to restore and elevate the support of facial features while Synchronized RF heating remodels and smooths the skin by increasing the levels of collagen and elastin fibers. This allows the treatment to penetrate deep into the facial muscles, lifting every layer from muscle to skin, effectively enhancing facial contours from within – a feat previously unattainable with injectables or traditional energy-based devices. EMFACE® has also expanded its capabilities with the introduction of under-eye applicators, making EMFACE® the only treatment available that addresses the root causes of ageing around the eyes non-invasively by toning muscles and tightening skin. The periorbital area is often the first to show signs of ageing with eyebags, crow's feet, and dark circles. While traditional solutions focus primarily on the skin, the new eye applicators further enhance the treatment's effectiveness by uniquely targeting both the lower part of the orbicularis oculi muscle and delicate skin in the periorbital area. As the original muscle toning and skin lifting U.S. FDA-cleared treatment, EMFACE® has been recognized for its innovative technology and revolutionary results, having won the 2025 New Beauty Award for 'Best Non-Invasive Facial Sculptor', the 2023 Northern Ireland Cosmetic Medicine Award for 'Innovative Device of the Year', and the 2023 Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Award for 'Best Treatment Game Changer'. "BTL Aesthetics is proud of reaching this remarkable milestone which underscores the commitment we have to providing cutting-edge innovative aesthetic solutions. Achieving 1 million EMFACE® treatments globally in under two years highlights the growing consumer demand for non-invasive facial lifting solutions that are painless, require no downtime, and can seamlessly fit into their busy routines," said Mr Ricardo Manaloto, General Manager of BTL Aesthetics. "We are truly heartened by the trust that our valued partner practitioners have placed in EMFACE®. Their recognition of the role that toning facial muscles plays in facial lifting reinforces its importance as a foundational component of any effective facial lifting treatment. Mr. Manaloto added.
