 Introducing
the ML830®
Laser. The
first laser to receive FDA clearance to market
for the effective (non-surgical) treatment of
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
CTS
sufferers are now free to seek relief from hand and wrist pain through a
new non-invasive form of therapy before resorting to surgery.
FDA market clearance for the ML830 Laser
resulted from working with FDA examiners over the
past ten years to ensure continuing compliance with the law.
The ML830 Laser
successfully performed in double
blind studies and in many clinical trials where some rather
substantial parties were involved, including General Motors
and Baylor College of Medicine
THE
ML830 LASER: A NON-SURGICAL APPROACH TO RSI
In
a rapidly developing technological workplace, our bodies simply
cannot maintain the pace of high demand machines or repetitive
motion. This daily effect of very fast, forceful and seemingly
harmless movements of the shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands, from
operating computers, to meat cutting, to assembling automobiles, to
package handlers, adversely affects workers and industry worldwide.
As the demands of productivity increase, so too do the physical
demands placed on the individual. This leads to stressed muscles and
tendons pushed far beyond their intended limits resulting in
disorders commonly known as Repetitive Stress Injury or RSI. A very
common RSI problem is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or CTS. On industry
worldwide, CTS has a major financial impact resulting in millions
of lost dollars.
The
ML830 Laser was designed by a team of doctors and leading
medical engineers to harness the therapeutic application of advanced
low energy laser technology.
Virtually
all light has some penetration properties; however, it is often
absorbed by the outermost skin layers. Traditional thermal (hot)
laser light, on the other hand, can penetrate but often destroys
tissue. As it is well known that damaged cells benefit from light,
the objective was to develop a non-thermal and non-destructive deep
tissue, delivery vehicle. The ML830 is a non-thermal laser
capable of penetrating deep into tissue. Once delivered, the light
energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation. The positive
effect of photobiostimultion on animal cells is analogous to
photosynthesis in plant cells whereby a chain of chemical reactions
is set in motion. In human tissue the resulting photochemical
reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate which
expedites cell repair and the stimulation of the immune, lymphatic
and vascular systems. The net result is the apparent reduction in pain, inflammation, edema and an
overall reduction in healing time.
