How the MedX Laser Works
The MedX system allows clinicians to treat both the broader joint region and the specific painful structure during the same treatment session.
Handheld Laser Probe
• Uses near-infrared laser light at approximately 785 nm.
• Designed for targeted treatment of tendons, ligaments, trigger points, and joint lines.
• Contains three infrared laser diodes and delivers approximately 1 joule of energy every 5 seconds.
SLD Diode Clusters
• Deliver broader light therapy using near-infrared light at approximately 870 nm.
• Each cluster contains 52 infrared diodes.
• Nine visible red guide lights assist clinicians in positioning the device.
• Can be secured around joints for hands-free treatment of larger areas.
This combination allows the clinician to treat surrounding tissues while also targeting specific structures that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.
