This document provides guidelines for safely setting up and operating the AVI HPLL-12 laser device. It outlines various safety precautions, warnings and recommendations that users should follow. This includes only allowing trained personnel to operate the laser, wearing appropriate protective eyewear, and selecting a secure and well-ventilated location for the device. The document also provides treatment protocols for different areas of the body and instructions for application techniques.
The document discusses High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT) and its use in treating pain and wound healing. It describes how HPLT was developed to deliver laser energy deeper than previous therapies, allowing treatment of conditions refractive to traditional care. The seminar then covers biophysics of HPLT, design of the Avicenna laser used, its safety, comparison to surgical lasers, biological effects on tissues, and applications for treating musculoskeletal conditions.
This document provides an overview of a webinar presentation about laser therapy given by Avicenna Laser Technology. Some key points:
- Avicenna invented the first Class IV high power laser therapy system in 2002 to allow deeper penetration for tissue healing compared to previous low power lasers.
- High power laser therapy provides biological effects like accelerated tissue repair, reduced scarring, and pain relief through mechanisms like increased blood flow and cell metabolism.
- Factors like power, wavelength, power density, frequency and method of delivery determine a laser's depth of penetration and tissue stimulation. Avicenna's continuous wave 980nm laser is designed for optimal penetration.
- Low power lasers may fail to
The document discusses High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT) and its potential to revolutionize non-surgical treatment of pain and wound healing. HPLT uses high-powered therapeutic lasers to stimulate tissue healing and reduce inflammation. The document outlines the history and development of HPLT lasers, their biological effects on tissues and cells, and their advantages over other modalities for treating musculoskeletal conditions.

This study investigated the effects of infrared laser exposure on cell growth in an in vitro model of wound healing. Fibroblast cell cultures were wounded and then exposed to various doses of 980 nm laser light. Results showed that low and medium intensity laser light significantly accelerated cell growth, while high intensity light negated benefits. Further experiments found cell growth was accelerated over a wide range of exposure durations using medium intensity laser light, with no reduction at longest durations. The study confirms clinical observations that low-level infrared laser exposure can accelerate healing of superficial wounds.
This case report describes the successful treatment of a 47-year-old man suffering from chronic back and leg pain for 10 years using high power laser therapy. Over 10 treatment sessions, the man's pain was reduced by 60-70% and his neurological signs dramatically improved. High power laser therapy stimulates cell metabolism, reduces inflammation, and aids nerve regeneration to provide long-term relief for conditions like radiculopathy. Further research is still needed to better understand the anatomical effects of laser therapy.
This case report describes the successful treatment of an 89-year old female patient's chronic peripheral neuropathy using high power laser therapy (HPLT). Over the course of 15 HPLT treatments administered 3 times per week, the patient's pain was significantly reduced and eventually eliminated. She remained pain-free for nearly a year before symptoms gradually returned, at which point another course of 15 HPLT treatments again eliminated her pain. HPLT was shown to accelerate nerve regeneration and improve blood flow in this patient, providing over 11 months of pain relief, far exceeding other medical treatments she had tried.
The document describes a case study of a 33-year old professional baseball player who sustained a grade 1 ankle sprain. He was treated with a class IV therapeutic laser, Polymem bandage, open basket weave tape, and ice. This new treatment approach reduced pain and swelling, allowing the player to return to play in just 2 days, much faster than the typical recovery time of 1 week. While these new modalities seemed effective in this case, more research is needed to validate their use for ankle sprains.
This case report describes the treatment of a patient with an acute disc herniation at L3/L4 resulting in radiculopathy and foot drop using high power laser therapy. The patient had failed to improve with epidural steroid injections. After 10 treatment sessions over several weeks applying high power laser therapy to the affected areas, the patient's pain and neurological symptoms fully resolved and improvements were still seen over 18 months later without recurrence. High power laser therapy was able to penetrate deeply and stimulate tissue healing, reducing inflammation and promoting nerve regeneration to resolve this patient's disc herniation and associated symptoms.
This case report describes the treatment of a 58-year-old woman suffering from bilateral Achilles tendinitis for 1-2 years. She had not responded to physical therapy or steroid injections. She underwent four treatments with a Class IV infrared laser over each Achilles tendon. This led to a significant reduction in her pain scores on a visual analog scale and an increase in ankle range of motion. The report concludes the laser therapy was effective at decreasing the symptoms of her Achilles tendinitis.
