Omega Low Level Laser Equipment healing through light

www.omegalaser.co.uk Physio Needs Concise Buyer’s Guide: 14th Edition


Electrotherapy

About Omega Laser Systems Ltd Omega Laser Systems is a Low Level Laser specialist with more than 20 years of research, development and manufacturing experience in this field, underpinned by a sound working relationship with centres of clinical and research excellence. Omega equipment is used on a truly worldwide basis, facilitated by our international network of distribution agents, and our latest products have had USA FDA clearance, are fully licensed for Canada and have all relevant European certification for medical use. Although we work hard to maintain the highest quality of equipment manufacturing, it is probably our level of after-sales customer support which sets us apart in the field, and of which we are most proud. We believe it’s key to ensure that a laser system fits the clinician’s needs to enable them to employ it effectively, so we advise on appropriate tailored systems, train one-to-one with each direct purchase and support new customers as they build confidence in using the equipment. Our sales and technical staff look forward to dealing with any enquiry relating to low level laser therapy.

Low Level Laser Therapy In brief, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) primarily stimulates the body’s cellular response to damage. In soft tissue injuries, for example, LLLT rapidly increases the proliferation of growth factor cells (i.e. macrophages, fibroblasts and mast cells in particular) and is therefore widely used to accelerate tissue repair and mobilise chronic conditions. With appropriate protocols it can also effectively block pain message signals through nociceptor suppression, stimulate acupuncture and trigger points and increase endorphin release. There is a large body of research to be found on the clinical effects of low level laser. Our website at www.omegalaser.co.uk lists a selection of key research papers and there are a number of publications giving excellent overviews of research and treatment – call us for recommendations on books to consider.

Clinical Fields & Applications n Pain relief and management including neuralgia n Wound healing including ulceration treatment n Physiotherapy including tendinopathy treatment n Podiatry including verruca and plantar fasciitis treatments n Smoking cessation through non-needle acupuncture n Dermatology including acne and eczema treatment n Rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis treatments n Cosmetic applications including reduction of scarring and skin regeneration n Maxiofacial and dental applications including TMJ n Veterinary applications from specialist equine to small animal practices

“This is an exciting time in the low level laser field with much research underway and new developments coming though all the time. The adoption of photobiostimulation, either as an alternative or adjunct to more traditional approaches, is increasing as people appreciate the effectiveness of this non-invasive and drug-free option. In addition to the established applications of pain-relief and wound-healing which are pertinent across diverse fields from physiotherapy and podiatry to dermatology, dentistry and veterinary applications, Low Level Laser Therapy is also now being used successfully in areas such as trigger point stimulation and non-needle acupuncture, most notably perhaps for smoking cessation. Our aim is to enable this work by developing our equipment to meet the needs of the growing range of researchers and clinicians who are discovering the benefits of LLLT. We would therefore welcome your input, as part of our product research and development process.” Jessica Nelson General Manager

Omega Xp Models With a high performance rechargeable battery built into each of the two Xp models, these base units are capable of extensive treatment time without the need for separate battery packs, nearby power sockets or extension cables whilst in treatment position. The Xp models also include an acupuncture point finder, which gives a continuous electronic reading indicating when an acupuncture point has been located. The micro-current facility used to identify such points can also locate and measure trigger points, making it an invaluable tool for physical therapists. This feature utilises a purpose-designed hand probe and acupuncture probe tip, both of which are included at no additional cost with either Xp System.

The Omega Xp Clinic

118

This latest control unit from Omega Laser Systems is designed to sit comfortably in today’s modern clinic. It comes in a softly curved moulded casing to complement the contemporary clinic aesthetic but is solidly built for durability under heavy clinic usage. If your use is exclusively in one clinic then this is the top specification model for your needs. With an Xp Clinic based system, probes can also be supplied in the new white style for a consistent look. CODE: OME 01

The Omega Xp Mobile This portable Xp model has been designed for those on the move. The Xp Mobile is more traditionally manufactured in steel for robustness. It is lighter, more compact and is usable in its padded carry case, leaving the clinician’s hands free for treatment. The market leading battery really comes into its own in the Xp Mobile, making this unit ideal for mobile users whether it’s for domiciliary medical use, on-the-spot sports injury treatment or treating animals in the field. When used in the clinic, the separate stand provided positions the unit with complete stability and visibility on any flat surface. CODE: OME 02

Electrotherapy Invisible Infra-Red Light Probes

Allowing deeper penetration than the red light probes, the 820nm single infra-red light probes are available in powers between 50 and 200mW. The higher powers simply deliver the required energy more quickly but the lower powers are more economical in terms of initial outlay. Infra-red 5-diode cluster probes with articulated heads and autoclavable bezels are also now available. These apply an 820nm wavelength beam on each of 5 points at once, being ideal for situations where treatment time is at a premium.

The infra-red light at 820 nanometers (nm) provides a penetrative, highly effective wavelength for soft tissue and sports injuries, pain relief, acupuncture point stimulation and smoking cessation.

120

These probes encourage fast resolution of musculoskeletal injuries and substantial relief for arthritic, herpetic, neuralgic and neuropathic pain. An infra-red is the probe of choice for treatment of verrucae and general stimulation of immune system response. Needle-free, non-invasive acupuncture and trigger point stimulation with these probes can be used in the treatment of a range of conditions from tendinitis to tinnitus. Cosmetic clinics also report success using these probes as the key tool for reduction of scarring, eye bags and wrinkles.

Finally, Omega manufactures a super-pulsed single probe with a 915nm wavelength. This is particularly effective for mobilising healing for chronic injuries through its more aggressive light delivery. Osteoblasts have been shown to be particularly responsive to this part of the spectrum. Consequently this probe is ideal for fracture treatment and is often referred to as the “bone probe”. The 915nm probe has a different body shape, but the rest of the single probes, of either wavelength, can each be used with any of specialist autoclavable tips, including the acupuncture tip.

Multi-Wavelength Cluster Probes Omega’s multi-wavelength cluster probes incorporate specific wavelength combinations to address key cell types in the different stages of healing. Although the diodes emit at lower powers in these probes, the synergistic effect of the wavelength combinations show enhanced results by comparison with single wavelength use alone. Increasingly, the most effective protocols for musculoskeletal applications in particular are found to involve the use of a multi-wavelength probe in serial combination with a purely infra-red wavelength probe. A multi-wavelength probe is therefore indispensable for optimal treatment. As detailed above, we offer three multi-wavelength probes, each utilizing 5 or 6 different wavelengths, with combinations of between 20 to 60 diodes in each. The smaller cluster is more suitable for areas such as hands or feet and the larger versions allow improved coverage for extensive treatment areas. All have articulated heads for convenience and clinician comfort in treatment.

Rondo SAD Lamp

CODE: RONDO The Rondo is a new and stylish bright light therapy lamp for treatment of SAD. Its round and harmonic design creates a warm feeling of the sun and summer.

Rondo has a powerful 55 watt TC-2D fluorescent tube which disperses the light evenly throughout the entire lamp shade. The surface lumiosity is exceptionally low. That is why the light is so comfortable to eyes. Electronic ballast raises the light frequency up to 30.000 Hz resulting in a flicker free, effective and enjoyable light. Therapy distance 50 cm. The Rondo can also be wall mounted. Rondo Specifications 10000 lux: 250mm. 10’ Treatment Time: approx 1 hour Size: 12cm depth x 40 cm diameter 4.7’ depth x 15.7’ diameter Weight: 2.9 kg Bulb: 1x55W TC 2D florescent tube 3.5000K Case Material: Polycarbon/metal body Opaque UV protective, polycarbon glare shade Guarantee: 2 years Light therapy is the treatment of choice in NHS SAD Specialist Clinics. How will a Rondo SAD Light Box help me? A SAD Lightbox provides quantities of light not achievable by traditional lighting. They provide you with a supplement of light on those days when nature doesn’t deliver or when you’re stuck indoors. A SAD lightbox such as the Rondo will provide that supplement.

How often will I have to use a light? It varies from person to person but most SAD sufferers, especially during the darkest part of winter, use light therapy almost every day. Some people can skip two or three days whilst others notice SAD symptoms creeping back even after one day. There can also be days when it’s bright outside, even in winter, and if you can get out and make the most of it you might not need extra light therapy that day. As spring comes around and the days get consistently brighter, you’ll probably find you need to use your light less and less. How long do I use it for? A typical time for a Rondo would be around 1 hour, but see how you get on. After a few days, if your symptoms have improved, you could gradually cut down and see if you notice any difference. When’s the best time to use the Rondo light box? Most people find that light therapy in the mornings works best so, if you are just starting out, try this first. Try not to use your light late in the evening though (i.e. within 3 hours of going to bed) as you may find it difficult to get to sleep. If you have trouble waking up in the mornings then you should definitely use a light box first thing. Can children use light boxes? Although it’s not that common, some children get SAD and it’s perfectly safe for them to use a lightbox. It’s certainly not a problem to have a lightbox on whilst there are children in the same room or if they come and sit with you when you’re getting your light therapy. Can I wear glasses when I’m using a light? You can wear glasses or contact lenses and still use a lightbox or a light visor. On the other hand, sunglasses, photo-sensitive or tinted lenses will reduce the effectiveness of light therapy.

Light therapy is helpful for antepartum depression, according to the results of a randomized pilot study published in the March issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry 2004. INNOSOL Bright Light therapy lamps have been certified as medical devices by Det Norske Veritas CE 0434
