DEVICE FOR MAGNETIC LASER THERAPY Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: device refers to therapeutic systems and can be used in clinics, outpatients's clinics and at home. Drawings 1 and 2 demonstrate variants of device with radiator in the form of laser and light-emitting diodes arranged around it and with light-emitting diodes only. New positioning of light-emitting diodes and laser makes it possible to enhance efficiency of operation of device several times which leads to reduced periods of recovery of patients. This is achieved by positioning light-emitting diodes and laser in one plane and by their contacting membrane. In this case maxima of radiation indicatrices of laser and light-emitting diodes are directed perpendicular to plane of membrane and accordingly to cavity subjected to therapy. Outer surface of case is manufactured in the form of heat-sink and nonworking butt of laser is fitted with row of plates to remove heat which provides stable operation of laser. Proposed design of device increases uniformity of irradiation of center of affection, enhances penetrating capability of laser radiation thanks to enlarged area of magnet and improves sanitary and hygienic properties. Combination of permanent magnetic field with low-intensity light-emitting diode and laser radiation of nearest IR region plus thermal radiation generated by contact of device with cavity subjected to therapy provide: for high efficiency in prophylaxis and treatment of acute and chronical diseases; for wide spectrum of usage; for sufficient reduction or complete absence of treatment with drugs. Proposed magnetooptical laser device for therapeutic treatment utilizes physical factors of natural environment such as magnetic field of 40 mT, IR radiation λ= 0.96 mm - a portion of solar spectrum to which our organisms are adapted. That is why such device may be called magnetooptical biostimulator. EFFECT: simplified design and easy handling for treatment and prophylaxis of various disease and due to this it can be recommended for self-treatment of patients. 2 dwg
