Lasers

We even introduce on the Australian, New Zealand and Asian market the Swedish company IRRADIA's IRRADIA's Medical Laser Program with surgical and biological lasers. All types of medical lasers on the market could be delivered. All are very reliable and made up to the high Swedish quality standard.

We are looking for agents for these outstanding products:

CO2 Laser
The worlds smallest surgical laser

IRRADIA 315M has several features constituting a unique instrument: The 315M is a high performance surgical laser instrument with a number of applications at a very cost-effective price.

Holmium YAG Laser

The Holmium laser combines the cutting excellence of the Carbon Dioxide Laser, the CO2 Laser; and at the same time the coagulation properties and the fiber delivery of the Neodymium Laser. The laser is therefore especially useful in :

                       Technical Specification



Emitting refocused CO2 Lasers

515 EDL-Laser and 515 L EDL-Laser

For treatment of tendons, joints and muscles. They have a very high output o maximum 15 Watts. This gives a short time of treatment.
They are suitable for treatment of horses and the treatment could be performed on some distance from the animal.
They have a low weight and are easy to move around in a stable.



MID-Laser


LLLT Lasers

Irradia's new MID laser is powerful but still small in size. The base unit comes in 5 different colors. There is possible to use the laser as an veterinarian model in which case we recommend our mobile case that is sturdy and protects the laser during transports. The MID-laser system consists of a base unit and different attachable laser probes. Up to eight different laser probes can be attached to the base unit. Examples are:



It is possible to have two laser probes attached at the same time. When one start using one of the probes the display shows which wave length one is using.
The display even shows the probes output in mW.

Applications



MID-Lasers / GaAs-Probe
  
60mW, 120mW:

Owing to the way GaAs-lasers (emitting a pulsed, invisible light of 904 nm, operate with short but very strong light pulses, the laser light can penetrate deeper into the tissue being treated than the light from the two other laser types can do by there own. GaAs-lasers are therefore better suited for treating problems we will refer to both the visible laser light of HeNe-lasers and the invisible laser of muscles, tendons and joints. (For the sake of simplicity, radiation of GaAs- and GaAlAs-lasers as laser light). Much research has been done on the effect of medical laser treatment with different laser types. It has been shown not only that
different laser types may produce different biological effects, but also that different pulse frequencies of
pulsed lasers may bring about different biological responses.

Most therapists recommend low frequencies when the prime interest is to alleviate pain and high frequencies for treating  inflammations generally. In the extensive literature on Low Level Laser Therapy (=LLLT = medical laser therapy = bio stimulation = photo-bio-activation)there are even many double-blind studies, where GaAs-lasers have
proven to be very effective on e.g. tennis elbow, supraspinatus or bicipital tendenitis, gonarthrosis, myofascial pains, on pain and swelling associated with rheumatoid arthritis, lumbago, different chronic pains and neuralgia. GaAs-lasers are also used on athletic injuries, headache, sinusitis, otitis and inflammation of the Achilles Tendon and gout.



MID-Lasers / Indium - or HeNe-Probe 

5-9mW

In general, these lasers (emitting a continuous, visible light) have proven most effective in treating conditions related to skin/mucous membranes, e.g. herpes simplex herpes zoster, scars, verrucae, acne, (venous and other) ulcers, neuralgia, eczema, aphte, decubitus. With a HeNe-laser, dentists are often able to help their patients get ride of the annoying pains associated with hypersensitive dentine.

MID-Lasers / GaAlAs-Probe

30mW, 60mW, 250mW, 450mW, 900mW

There are several types of GaAlAs-lasers. The most well documented types of these lasers emit a continuous, invisible or barely visible light with the wavelength of 820 nm. GaAlAs-lasers assume an intermediate position as compared to the two other laser types, often proven effective on such skin conditions as leg ulcers but also, at least to some extent, on the problems of muscles, tendons and joints.


MID-Lasers / For Mobile and Veterinary use

Typical users are sport teams, equitherapists and veterinarians the stable the compact and easy to move unit makes it easy to work in tight spaces. It comes with the same features as the ordinary MID laser.

Books

"The Low Level Laser Therapy - LLLT - The Clinical Practice and Science Background", new February 1999.


This is the book you have been waiting for! Here is something for everybody interested in Laser Therapy. The text is a blend of easy to understand language and scientific documentation. The "tall tales" about LLLT are mercilessly scrutinized and the facts are revealed. 750 scientific references may seem a bit deterring for the average clinician, but don't worry mate! The most difficult parts are put into an appendix, ready for you when you are ready for it. The book will not only give you more knowledge about the possibilities of Laser Therapy, it will also be a mighty weapon in your hands against those who may question Laser Therapy in general. Unless they read it too, they should close their case.




About the Authors:

Jan Tunér,
 left, is a dentist in private practice, working with LLLT since 1986. Member of the editorial board of Laser Therapy, the organ of WALT. Lars Hode, right, is a physicist. He is one of the worlds most experienced medical laser designers. He has been working in this field
 since 1983. This is their 4th book on Laser Therapy.


  In specially invited contributions you can read the following:
- An abstract of dissertation by Dr. Shelly M. Khullar at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo, Norway 1997, titled "Reinnervation after nerve injury: the effects of low level laser treatment".
- Low Level Laser Therapy of inner ear diseases, by Dr. Lutz Wilden, Germany. This innovative therapy brings new hope for patients suffering from tinnitus and new opportunities for therapists.
- A brief information about effects of LLLT on spinal cord injuries by Professor Semion Rochkind.

The price for the book is USD 89 plus post and package.
