Product description and intended use
This product is a laser therapy system for outpatient
physiotherapy applications aimed at treating
musculoeskeletal affections.
The mechanism of action of the FT-245 is based on the
biostimulation tissues, in which it acts through the deep
release of electromagnetic energy in the form of infrared
laser light.
Patient population
This device is intended only for patients older than
8 years of age.
Fields of application
Regardless of whether the cause is due to direct trauma,
functional overload, and/or with an acute or chronic
course, there are three pathogenetic events that have a
common denominator:
1. A cute or chronic inflammation
Inflammatory processes are activated at the injured
site, starting with humoral processes, which are rapidly
followed by cellular processes that lead to the release
of substances (cytokines, lymphokines, prostaglandins,
etc.) that have a direct or indirect harmful action and
stimulate macrophage and lymphocyte activation. The
immediate effect is stasis of the microcirculation, with
increased vessel permeability and tissue edema with
further stasis of metabolites causing pain and heat.
2. Changes in the micro- and/or macrocirculation
When inflammation persists, and depending on the extent
and severity of the phenomenon, the circulation suffers
changes that can also affect larger vessels, with changes
in flow and venous-lymphatic drainage.
3. Fiber and connective tissue injuries
The resulting tissue damage, in addition to inflammatory
damage, in injuries to fibers (muscular, tendinous,
nervous, etc.) and connective tissues caused by direct
or indirect action of the harmful pathogen.
This can be represented by a trauma or rapid-onset acute
condition, or by a functional overload with a slower and
less obvious course.
