EME Lasermed 2200 - Contact laser therapy
Laser therapy is divided into contact therapy and scanning therapy. Both monodiode and polydiode lasers are used for each of these treatment types. In contact therapy with monodiode lasers, the treatment heads are positioned directly on the skin.
This contact laser treatment is performed by stimulating trigger points or localized painful areas. This type of therapy requires the practitioner to perform the treatment themselves throughout the entire treatment period.
When using a laser therapy device, the following application parameters are crucial: The power emitted for the irradiated tissue density (referred to as power density, measured in square W/cm). The power density is determined by dividing the laser output power by the spot size.
The most important parameter for determining the clinical effect of a laser is fluence. Fluence measures the amount of energy delivered per unit area of irradiated tissue; it is measured in square J/cm. The exact calculation is done by multiplying the power density by the exposure time of the laser beam.
For all EME Physio devices, the recommended fluence parameter values are described in the supplied protocols. Depending on the area being treated and the laser power, the user can adjust the treatment time or frequency to achieve the required fluence.
Indications for laser use
• Orthopedics
• Rheumatology
• Dermatology
• ENT
• Dentistry
• Neurology
• Laser needle puncture
LASERMED 2200
A handy laser device with a 905nm wavelength and two independent outputs. This allows simultaneous operation with two different laser heads and two different frequencies. The Lasermed 2200 comes with a 100mW monodiode laser head (MLA/100).
Effects of laser applications
• Anti-inflammatory properties
• Effects on the peripheral nervous system (antalgic and regenerative effects).
• Tissue regenerating and biostimulating properties.
• Effects on the microcirculation and blood vessels: Laser applications can lead to an improvement in local microcirculation, which brings about a recovery from local spasms of the arteries and venous vessels (which can occur, for example, after trauma or inflammation), and can also lead to an intensification of blood flow in the capillaries.
• Immuno-altering effect.
• Causing enzymatic photoactivation.
• Placebo effect
LASERMED – The properties
With Lasermed devices, the fluence is calculated automatically based on the treatment site and duration. The devices are equipped with multilingual software with more than 80 treatment suggestions. The handpieces feature an automatic touch sensor (laser radiation only begins when the laser diode is close to the skin).
For both Lasermed devices, various laser handpieces (mono- or polydiode, up to a maximum power of 800 mW) are available as accessories. Programs and patient data can be stored on the included smart card.
Advantages of laser therapy
Laser therapy with devices like the Lasermed 2200 is based on photobiological and photochemical effects in cells and tissues. The laser light is intended to stimulate the mitochondria in the cells, thereby inducing energy recharge.
Traumatic or degenerative conditions are intended to be improved so that the cells can return to their normal state. Laser therapy with contact lasers is risk-free and painless. Compared to other therapies, the required treatment time is also shorter.
Highlights EME Lasermed 2200
LSE (Laser Safety Eyes Patent): The laser only starts when the lens is brought close to the skin, ensuring greater safety for both the patient and the therapist.
Automatic calculation of fluence as a function of time and treatment area (joules/cm²). Up to 800 mW power and two independent channels : The two independent channels allow laser therapy with two probes, each with a different power and frequency. It is also possible to connect various monodiode and multi-diode lasers up to a maximum power of 800 mW.
