How much does a Class 4 laser cost?

How much does a Class 4 laser cost?

Power Output Class IV lasers are able to deliver up to 1,500 times more power than Class III lasers. As a result, they reduce treatment times and offer greater penetration. Class IV lasers range in price from $12,000 to $30,000.

Is Class 4 laser low level?

K-Laser’s, FDA-approved, Class-IV therapeutic laser technology is not considered “low-level” or a “cold,” laser as were the Class I, II, IIIa & IIIb lasers were, since the power in these Class-IV lasers is up to 1500 times greater.

Do Class 4 lasers require safety controls?

Whenever possible, class 4 laser should be controlled and monitored at a position as far as possible from the beam path to mitigate the risk and hazard. It may be necessary for the Laser Safety Officer (LSO) to measure the lasers in order to establish the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) values.

How powerful is a Class 4 laser?

They should be used with extreme care. For visible-light lasers, Class 4 lasers’ have an output power 500 milliwatts and above. There is no upper limit for Class 4 — this is the most hazardous laser classification.

Are all surgical lasers Class 4?

All surgical lasers are Class 4, but not all Class 4 lasers are surgical lasers. Although some advertising uses the term “Class 4” as a proxy or shorthand for lasers that can burn, it is an inaccurate description if the power density is not taken into account.

Does laser therapy increase blood flow?

Laser therapy’s ability to increase blood flow in a dose-response manner is therefore an effective, noninvasive treatment modality to improve blood flow and may promote tissue healing in the clinical setting.

Are Class 4 lasers safe?

Class 4 These lasers are high-power devices capable of producing diffuse reflections hazardous to the eye. Skin exposure to the direct beam of a Class 4 laser is also hazardous. These lasers must not be used for building or construction tasks.

Can a Class 4 laser damage your eyes?

Class 4 visible-light lasers are significantly hazardous for eye exposure. They can cause burns to the retina. A person cannot turn away or blink fast enough to prevent retinal eye injury from a Class 4 laser.

How strong is a Class 4 laser?

500 milliwatts
They should be used with extreme care. For visible-light lasers, Class 4 lasers’ have an output power 500 milliwatts and above. There is no upper limit for Class 4 — this is the most hazardous laser classification.

How often can you do laser therapy?

The typical course of treatment is 5-10 minutes, although it depends on the size of the area being treated. Acute conditions may require daily treatment, in particular if they are accompanied by significant pain. Chronic problems typically respond better when the treatments are received 2-3 times per week.
