GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE 1.1 INTENDED USE BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser is a non-invasive therapeutic device intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical stimulation of the biological tissue. This tissue stimulation results in local acceleration of healing, increase of metabolism, and analgesic reaction.
A time-saving feature of the BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser is the list of predefined programs stored in the memory of the main unit. Based on detailed research and practical use of the device, the well-organized predefined programs will provide recommendations for the treatment of various conditions.
There are several types of laser light generators used in the therapy of musculoskeletal apparatus. These laser light sources differ mainly in the various technical characteristics. BTL-6000 High Intensity Laser unit uses diode laser light source which emits light in the near infrared light spectrum.
