MEDICAL & VETERINARY LASER THERAPY
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 persist deep into the tissue.
What is LLLT
used for?
LLLT at 810 & 904nm (infra red) is used to increase the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation, and give pain relief. 660nm (visible red) is particularly good at speeding up wound healing. Lower wavelengths in the blue spectrum (440nm) have anti bacterial properties.
Class 3B or Class 4?
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. We sell lasers that occupy the middle ground therefore offering outputs that offer fast, effective and safe treatments. Most SpectraVet & LZR7 laser probes are either close to the limits of Class 3B or slightly into the Class 4 range.
Whats the difference between a medical and veterinary laser?
Medical lasers have to go through more rigourous regulatory & safety testing, so tend to be more expensive. Although our veterinary lasers are safe to use on humans as they are manufactured to the same medical standards, they should not be used on humans, especially in a proffesional capacity. Such use would certanly invalidate any public liability insurance you had. SpectraVet veterinary lasers are supplied with extensive small animal and equine protocols as well as access the the excellent 6 hour long online training course. Our medical lasers are provided with comprehensive medical protocols.
Why buy from us?
We have been involved in the design and production of laser therapy equipment for over 30 years and so have knowledge and experience in the industry. We will not sell you a product that is unsuitable for your application or talk you into spending a lot more money than you need to, unlike some other suppliers. We also provide excellent service and backup. All products we supply can be fully serviced and repaired by us for a reasonoble cost. We are still repairing equipment we manufactured 30 years ago that is in daily use. If you buy a laser from us we will always buy it back from you if you no longer need it. We also offer interest free finance on new lasers.
