Burns
and other long–healed wounds
Laser radiation
activates the recovery process at all stages of
the wound healing.
A complex method of
wound treatment is applied: anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, general restorative and local
treatment combined with laser therapy. After 2
– 3 laser therapy procedures, pain in the
wound area disappears, exudation, swelling, skin
reddening decrease, epithelization of the wound
sides becomes more rapid, healing time decreases.
Wounds, even large ones, recover 10 – 12
days earlier than in the case of conventional
healing methods alone.
Indications:
Burned, tropical, thrombophlebitic, traumatic,
surgical injuries.
Contraindications:
Suspected skin cancer, ulcer bleeding.
Methodics:
When the burned area is large or necrosis is deep
(II B0 – III0),
at intoxication of the organism, or when the
healing is long lasting, the following technique
is recommended:
- Transcutaneous
blood irradiation for 10 – 15 min
every second day. The course of treatment
is 5 – 6 procedures.
- The surface of
the wound cleaned from suppurative and
necrotic matter washed by physiological
or other disinfecting solution is
irradiated using the deflecting lens No.
4 by labile technique distantly through
two layers of sterilized gauze. The
process starts from healthy tissues
around the wound, then proceeding to the
wound sides and the wound itself. If a
skin area is burned or injured, the
principle of “laser shower” is
used, irradiating 1 cm2
for 1 s. The total irradiation time up to
5 min.
Parameters:
A – 1 - 3 W, F – 500 - 2000 Hz,
M – 8 - 100 Hz.
Recommended
acupuncture points and methodics:
(Acu-points for
AGNIS L01)
GI4, GI11, R8, RP10, P7,
E36, V40. Irradiation by the conical lens (No.
1), by suppression technique. The lens is pressed
until a “comfortable” pain appears. The
parameter values are maximal. Exposure time per
point is 30 s – 1 min.
To activate the recovery
process, the wound is irradiated through the
rounded lens without pain and pressure. Use mean
values for all parameters. Exposure time for each
point is 5 min.
Course of the treatment
is 10 – 15 procedures (5 times a week).
