REVO – Advanced Soft Tissue Recovery Technology for Athletes

Client: REVO STC

Expertise: Biomedical Product Design, Rehabilitation Device Development, FDA 510(k) Compliance, Design for Manufacturing

The Challenge

REVO STC approached Southwest Engineering Concepts (SOENCO) with a mission to redefine the landscape of athletic recovery and soft tissue rehabilitation. Their team of sports medicine experts—including physical therapists, professional athletes, and engineers—had developed a proprietary four-stage recovery methodology and needed a powerful, portable device to bring it to life.

The goal: to create a clinically effective, user-friendly biomedical recovery device that could deliver targeted treatment for muscle spasticity, inflammation, healing, and rehabilitation. It needed to be suitable for both professional athletic training rooms and mobile physical therapy applications, while also being compliant with FDA and FCC regulations.

Our Approach: Full-Scope Biomedical Device Development

SOENCO took on the full product development lifecycle for this innovative sports recovery system, leading everything from early prototyping through to regulatory submission and pre-production engineering.

At the heart of the device is a custom signal generation system, designed to deliver REVO’s proprietary waveform technology—capable of activating and treating soft tissues with high precision. This waveform not only accelerates recovery times but also aids in injury prevention by identifying and addressing tissue imbalances before symptoms arise.

Key areas of development included:

1. Biomedical device engineering focused on soft tissue therapy and neuromuscular stimulation
2. Custom waveform signal design tailored for REVO’s therapeutic protocol
3. Electronics design and system integration for reliability and ease of use
4. Design for manufacturing (DFM) to support scalable production at launch
5. Regulatory guidance through the FDA 510(k) premarket process and FCC certification
6. Prototyping and field trials in real clinical and athletic training environments

We worked closely with REVO's internal team to ensure that the product not only met clinical expectations, but could be manufactured and supported at scale.

The Result: A Breakthrough Recovery and Rehabilitation System

The resulting device is a wearable soft tissue recovery tool engineered to support REVO’s complete four-stage therapy system—from loosening and inflammation management to healing and long-term rehabilitation.

Used by physical therapists, athletic trainers, and clinicians, the system delivers high-performance treatment that accelerates recovery while minimizing reinjury risk.

Key Features:

1. Four-stage treatment protocol targeting spasticity, inflammation, healing, and rehabilitation
2. Custom waveform technology for deep tissue activation and recovery
3. Clinical-grade signal precision in both Pro and portable To-Go units
4. Compatible with physical therapy, sports medicine, and at-home recovery programs
5. Full regulatory support for FDA 510(k) and FCC compliance

With two versions—REVO Pro, designed for professional facilities, and REVO To-Go, a portable model for athletes on the move—the system brings elite-level recovery capabilities to a wide range of users.

The Impact

By fusing biomedical engineering, sports science, and real-world athletic experience, REVO has created a tool that doesn’t just treat injuries — it helps prevent them. With proven results in soft tissue care, the REVO system is transforming how athletes recover, clinicians treat, and trainers support performance.

For SOENCO, the REVO project highlights our ability to develop FDA-compliant medical devices that blend advanced technology with scalable, real-world usability. From concept to compliance, we’ve helped bring a revolutionary athletic recovery system to market—one designed for performance, portability, and results.
