Each SpectraVet laser comes with a comprehesive set of treatment protocols and we have al Facebook page for SpectraVet owners to discuss and ask questions about laser treatment. We also now provide a free online training course with every SpectraVet Laser purchased. SpectraVet provide both Class 3B and Class 4 Laser Probes, as well as non-Laser LED probes. There is much confusion in the market place over which is best, Class 3B or Class 4. With some manufacturers pushing over priced Class 4 Lasers and stating Class 3B is unsuitable, its not surprising potential customers are confused. The reality is there are plenty of Class 4 lasers available that are too powerful for therapeutic applications (they can burn tissue) but also plenty of lower powered devices available that put out less power than a TV remote control. Only SpectraVet occupies the middle ground for veterinary applications, offering laser outputs that offer fast, effective and safe treatments. Most SpectraVet laser probes are close to the limits of Class 3B or slightly into the Class 4 range. SpectraVET offers a choice of control units and a wide range of single and multi-laser probe configurations for both small and large animal therapies. New this year is a range of LED, superpulsed & dental probes. The Pro2 laser unit features programable pulse frequencies and treatment times. The Zeus is a simpler lower cost unit with a fixed treatment timer and fixed CW output. Both are fully portable battery powered units and will run all the SpectraVET probes. 3 years parts and labour warranty comes as standard.

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy, commonly
known as LLLT (also cold laser, soft laser, LILT) is a form of phototherapy
which involves the application of monochromatic and coherent light to injuries and
lesions to stimulate healing.
Unlike non-coherent light emitting
devices, such as common LEDs and so-called SLDs (usually just infrared LEDs),
the coherent, monochromatic and polarised radiation emitted by LASER has
unique, specific, and scientifically-proven effects that, at the 810nm
wavelength primarily used by SpectraVET, persist deep into the tissue.
What is LLLT
used for?
LLLT is used to increase the speed,
quality and tensile strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation, and give pain
relief.
It is an attractive form of
treatment for animal athletes, due to the prospect of shorter recovery and
lay-off times.
The portability of battery-powered
diode laser systems enables treatment to be carried out in the barn, the
trailer, or in the field, allowing the immediate and therefore more effective
treatment of equine sports injuries, such as muscle tears, haematomas, and
tendinopathies
Why SpectraVET?
SpectraVET offers fast effective
treatment of musculoskeletal injuries commonly suffered by performance animals,
and is rugged and powerful enough for the most demanding user.
The SpectraVET base unit is housed in a tough aluminium case to protect
it from everyday knocks and bumps, and the laser probes are machined from
aircraft-grade aluminium.

What is Low Level
Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy,
commonly known as LLLT, is a form of phototherapy which involves the
application of low power monochromatic and coherent light to injuries and
lesions to stimulate healing.
Unlike non-coherent
light emitting devices, such as common LEDs and so-called SLDs (usually just
infrared LEDs), the coherent, monochromatic and polarised radiation emitted by
LASER has unique, specific, and scientifically-proven effects that persist deep
into the tissue.
LLLT is used to increase
the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation,
and give pain relief. The technical term often used to describe this form of
therapy is 'photobiostimulation'.
Clinical Uses of LLLT
There are a number of
potential clinical uses for LLLT, such as those in medical, dental, acupuncture,
podiatric, chiropractic, osteopathic, and cosmetic applications. The most
popular applications of LLLT are in veterinary, physiotherapy, and acupuncture
practice.
The portability and
diversity of battery and mains-powered diode laser systems allows treatment to
be carried out in clinical, hospital, and field locations. This opens up
possibilities for the immediate and therefore more effective treatment of
sporting and athletic injuries, such as muscle tears, haematomas, and
tendinopathies.
It is an attractive form
of treatment for both human and animal athletes, especially those involved in
professional sports, due to the prospect of shorter recovery and lay-off times.
This applies equally to
the veterinary use of LLLT, which has applications in both large and small
animal therapy. It is especially popular in the treatment of sporting horses
and racing greyhounds.
Advances over Other
Modes of Therapy
LLLT has been found to
offer superior healing and pain relieving effects compared to other electrotherapeutic
modalities, especially in the early stages of acute injuries, and for chronic
problems. LLLT can also be used for Acupuncture Point stimulation.
LLLT is a universal
method of treating muscle, tendon, ligament, connective tissue, bone and skin
tissue with one simple piece of equipment, however, the best results are
achieved when it is used to complement other treatment modalities.
Importantly for
athletes, LLLT is a non-invasive, drug-free modality that can be applied on
competition day without risking disqualification by drug-vetting tests.
How Does It Work?
The effects of LLLT are
photochemical and photomechanical, not thermal. Photons enter the tissue and
are absorbed in the mitochondria and at the cell membrane by photoreceptive molecules
called chromophores. Photonic energy is converted to chemical energy within the
cell, and is utilised in the form of ATP.
Treatable Conditions
Low-Level Laser has been
shown to be effective in, but not limited to, the treatment of the following indications:
Infra-Red Wavelengths:
§
Sprains & strains
§
Haematomas
§
Ligament & tendon injuries, bowed tendon
§
Inflammation
§
Joint injuries
§
Myofascial trigger points, pain points and deep-tissue acupuncture
points
§
Chronic & acute pain
§
Non-union & small-bone fractures, pedal bone
Visible Red Wavelengths:
§
Open wounds & abrasions
§
Superficial acupuncture points
§
Mucous membranes
§
Post-surgical wounds
Conclusion
As each year passes,
scientifically-conducted clinical trials and in-vitro research find more and
more applications in which LLLT is not only appropriate, but is more effective
than conventional methods of treatment. Quite simply, LLLT works!
