A Portable Device for Laser-and-Ultrasound Therapy: Design and Application

Аннотация

The design and functional capabilities of the portable device for laser-and-ultrasound therapy BINOM®-FIZIO LUZT are described together with the experience of its use for treating patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD). Infrared laser pulses and ultrasound generated by an array of sources are the therapeutic agents used for treatment. The developed device makes it possible to implement a new physical therapy technique for simultaneous (concomitant) treatment with low-intensity laser radiation and ultrasound. Clinical tests showed the device to be cost-effective and improve the clinical effect of combination treatment. It allows better expectoration, peripheral blood parameters, and respiratory function to be achieved.
