1. What is the BIOPTRON Light Therapy System (BLTS)? TOP
The BLTS
is a medical device technology based on a unique light therapy concept.
It can be used for prophylactic treatments, therapy and rehabilitation
in a variety of medical areas. More than 15 years of experience
and ongoing scientific and clinical research in a variety of applications
are providing the foundation of this therapy.
2. Are there different devices? TOP
Yes.
In order to assure the best-fitting solution for every need, the
range of the BLTS is including three different types of devices.
They differ in size and design, but are emitting light with identical
physical and technical characteristics.
The approximate filter diameter varies from 5cm (BIOPTRON MedAll)
to 11cm (BIOPTRON Pro 1) up to 15 cm (BIOPTRON 2).
3. Are there any stands for the devices? TOP
Yes.
The BIOPTRON Pro 1 is available either with table stand or with
floor stand. For the BIOPTRON MedAll and for the BIOPTRON 2 we recommend
one of the optional available floor stands. Not only that the stand
increases the comfort of treating, furthermore it expands the device-capacity
by making it possible to treat areas of the body, which are difficult
to reach without stand.
4. Are the BIOPTRON Light Therapy devices medically approved?
TOP
Yes.
They are approved as medical devices according to 93/42/EEC (the
EEC-directive competent for Medical Products). This is the responsible

professionals as well as for the private home-users.
7. BIOPTRON Light has biostimulative effects. What does this
mean? TOP
BIOPTRON
Light stimulates and modulates reparative and regenerative processes,
as well as those of the human defence-system.
It acts in a natural way by supporting the regenerative capacity
of the body and therefore helps the body to release its own healing
potential.

III BLTS - The Characteristics TOP
1. What
are the unique characteristics of BIOPTRON Light?
2. What does polarization mean?
3. What does polychromy mean?
4. What does incoherency mean?
5. What is the wavelength of BIOPTRON Light?
6. Does BIOPTRON Light contain ultraviolet radiation?
7. What is the difference between sunlight and
BIOPTRON Light?
1. What are the unique characteristics of BIOPTRON Light?
TOP
The coaction of the following
four characteristics is the basis for the beneficial effects:
- polarization
- polychromy
- incoherency
- low energy.
2. What does polarization mean? TOP
BIOPTRON Light is polarized
light. This means that its waves move on parallel planes. In the
BIOPTRON Light polarization reaches a degree of approximately 95%.
3. What does polychromy mean? TOP
BIOPTRON Light is a polychromatic
light. This means it contains not only one wavelength (like laser-light),
but a wide range including visible light and a part of the infrared
range. BIOPTRON Light does not contain UV radiation!
4. What does incoherency mean? TOP
As opposed to laser light,
BIOPTRON Light is incoherent or out-of-phase light. This means,
that the light waves are not synchronized.
5. What is the wavelength of BIOPTRON Light? TOP
The wavelength of BIOPTRON
Light is 480 - 3400 nm - hence it is a combination of the visible
part of the electromagnetic spectrum and near infrared light.
6. Does BIOPTRON Light contain ultraviolet radiation? TOP
No. BL is completely
free of UV radiation.
7. What is the difference between sunlight and BIOPTRON Light?
TOP
In contrast to natural
sunlight the technically synthesized BIOPTRON Light provides light
therapy with controllable and therefore reproducible parameters.
