Visible red-light wavelengths have shown remarkable success in treating wounds, pressure sores and non-healing ulcers, whether diabetic, venous, neuropathic or infected. The red-light lasers are consequently well-established in these fields, but more recently their effectiveness in the treatment of acne, psoriasis, herpes simplex and other dermatological conditions is becoming more widely understood and used. They are also excellent for post-surgical applications, to reduce scarring and healing time.

 

In addition to the single probes, all of which (apart from the 915nm “bone” probe) can be provided with your choice of tips and attachments, we can now offer a red-light cluster probe with 5 laser diodes facilitating rapid treatment of more extensive superficial areas. This reduces clinical treatment time and improves cost-effectiveness.

 

Our compact cluster probes all come with articulated heads for ease of use and also have autoclavable bezels. Where the clinical need can be served by either a single or a cluster probe, the choice is then between prioritising initial outlay or cost of treatment time, according to your circumstances.

The infra-red probes provide a penetrative, highly effective wavelength for soft tissue and sports injuries, pain relief, acupuncture point stimulation and smoking cessation.

 

These probes encourage fast resolution of musculoskeletal and tendon 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 via these probes is used for a range of conditions including smoking cessation and tinnitus.

 

Cosmetic clinic also report success using these probes for reduction of scarring, facial lines and wrinkles.

 

Allowing deeper penetration than the red-light probes, the 820nm single infra-red probes are available in powers between 50 and 200mW. With the higher powers delivering more energy per point, selection depends upon particular intended applications.

 

Each of the single probes accepts any of our range of autoclavable tips including the specialist acupuncture tip.

 

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.

Omega’s multi-wavelength cluster probes incorporate the most effective wavelength combinations from research results into a practical large irradiation area.

 

The use of selected multiple wavelengths has been found to create a synergistic effect, resulting in a cellular response enhanced by comparison with single wavelength use only. This makes the multi-wavelength probe indispensable for treatment of many conditions from sports injuries through wound healing to chronic pain.

 

Increasingly the most effective protocols for certain clinical applications are found to involve the use of a multi-wavelength probe in serial combination with a purely infra-red wavelength probe.

 

As detailed below, we offer four multi-wavelength probes, with combinations of between 20 to 60 diodes in each utilizing 5 or 6 different wavelengths. The smaller clusters are more suitable for areas such as hands or feet, and the larger versions allow improved rapid coverage. All have articulated heads for convenience and clinician comfort in treatment.

 

The coherence of the light emitted by the diodes includes Superluminescent LED and (for the 46 cluster) Laser as well. Each of these probes is classed as 3B in Laser classification.
