A new modality in
Physical Therapy...
The Lumen 90TM
utilizes state-of-the-art technology to help activate the natural
healing processes in the body. Super-luminous light emitting diodes
(LED's) produce photons at different wavelengths in the
near-infrared/visible red spectrums. The FDA has approved this
powerful, conveniently-sized device for:
• Increased
local circulation
• Reduction of pain
• Improved range of
motion
• Muscle relaxation

More power for less
money...
The Lumen 90TM
application pad measures 4" x 8" and contains 90 LEDs --
fifty 200 mW IR(infrared) with an emission wavelength of 880nm and
forty 3000mc SLDs(superluminous leds) with an emission wavelength of
650nm. The total average output is approximately 6.25 watts (maximal
output power for minimal treatment times -- competitors often
hide/inflate specs).
The controller pulses
the LEDs at tissue specific frequencies as determined in the mid 1970s
by a medical team headed by Dr. Paul Nogier. (The settings are used
also in TENS units.) By pulsing at the specific frequencies of
ectodermal, endodermal, and mesodermal tissues, we believe that the
powerful Lumen 90TM heals faster while minimizing pain. |

What Does
Light Therapy Do?
• Increases the
formation of capillaries, which speed up the healing process with more
oxygen and nutrients.
• Stimulates the
production of collagen, which is essential for repairing damaged tissue.
• Stimulates the release
of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) which increases the energy level in the
cells -- promotes faster nutrient uptake & waste product removal
• Increases lymphatic
system activity.
• Stimulates
fibroblastic activity.
• Raises the temperature
of the cells even though there is no heat produced from the diodes
themselves. |
