Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT is the treatment of various conditions using laser to effect a photochemical reaction at a cellular level. The laser light penetrates into tissue where it is absorbed by cells and converted into energy that influences the course of metabolic process. The LTU-904 does not heat tissue.
The LTU-904 Laser Therapy Unit is a hand-held battery powered treatment device, is non-thermal and delivers a controlled series of 200ns bursts of pulses of 904nm laser beam, which is in the near infrared spectrum that is invisible to the human eye.
The LTU-904 is an infrared laser operating at a wavelength of 904 nanometers. This invisible wavelength penetrates up to 2 cm (3/4 inch) into tissue.
The LTU-904 is classified as a Class I Laser according to USA FDA 21 CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 regulations.
Clinically Tested:
Flinders Medical Center (Adelaide, South Australia) has completed a clinical trial using the LTU-904 to treat post mastectomy lymphedema. This trial is believed to be the first scientifically controlled (double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, crossover) study of a physical lymphedema treatment.
