Red Laser Probe
General Information
Power 100mW
Wavelength 660nm
The red laser probe is now available, having undergone rigorous ergonomic and clinical testing over the past three years. This addition will complement the already existing 75mW and 200mW infrared laser probes.
During the early 90s, we developed a 25mW red laser probe which we utilized extensively in our clinics, but did not promote in the marketplace as the demand was limited, except by acupuncturists and dentists.
Several were acquired by users who understood the importance of this probe. Most consumers felt that the cost could not be validated and we always choose to allow individuals to make their own informed decisions.
At the same time, we continued to use the 25mW red laser probe in our clinics, with substantial benefit in many situations. In view of this, in 2004 we decided to explore the impact of a 100mW red laser probe which we have now tested extensively under controlled circumstances.
Application:
The probe can be operated from low levels, i.e. 1mW to its 100mW maximum output. Developed primarily for utilization in treating dermatological conditions and wound healing, it may also be used for the treatment of epicondylitis, rotator cuff injuries and other pathologies.
From a clinical perspective, the red laser probe may replace the use of the infrared probes in the treatment of superficial lesions. It may also be combined with the infrared probes in cases that have plateaued or are slow to respond. As always, clinical judgment must prevail in its utilization.
The length of application will be in the 1-10 minute range, depending on the extent of the underlying pathology. As with all BioFlex treatment arrays, the probe can be used in both continuous and pulsed mode.
Synopsis:
Power can be set from 1mW to 100mW The 100mW Red Laser Probe can be used in stand-alone configuration or in combination with any other arrays...
