Spectro A-100 Canine/Feline LASERwrap

This manual provides the operating instructions for Spectra Therapy’s LASERwrap® product line for use with the IMPULSE Laser unit, Model A-100. It incorporates proven Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) technology.
The LASERwrap® bends photonic energy and contours the healing power of light to the application area. The wrap, which delivers low-level laser therapy (LLLT), energizes the blood and improves circulation, which accelerates the healing of conditions such as edema, connective tissue tears and strains, wounds, and bone injuries. LLLT is effective at relieving pain and inflammation, relaxing tight muscles, and relieving muscle spasms associated with exercise and/or acute or chronic conditions, such as arthritis.

Product Description/Registration

The Spectra Therapy LASERwrap® products are designed to be fully wearable, portable systems providing temporary relief of pain, increased circulation, and reduction of edema. This one-size-fits-all device is de-signed to lessen pain by using laser photon energy to decrease the local viscosity of fluids, which provides therapeutic effects. It is important to emphasize that therapy with the Spectra Therapy LASERwrap® does not exclude other conventional medical treatment. Effectiveness of this treatment is dependent upon correct use. There are no known side effects from this therapy. If treatment times are exceeded, the therapy may not provide more positive results.

BENEFITS: Programmable and wearable LLLT treatments makes it practical to turn temporary pain relief and temporary improvement of circulation into consistent pain relief and continual stimulation of the circulatory system. Spectra Therapy’s LASERwrap® makes treatment easy throughout the day and night.

Treatment with Spectra Therapy’s LLLT can be combined with treatment via conventional medicine.
Repetitive treatment times of 7 or more minutes are most effective. The interval time between treatments is important as it allows time for the body’s own lymph system to activate and cleanse the area.
Most patients should expect to feel pain relief and/or muscle relaxation after 2-3 days of Spectra Therapy LLLT treatment.
Some patients may feel a noticeable reduction of pain immediately after their first treatment and relaxation of stiff muscles after one day of treatment.

Fully Portable, Battery Powered – The Spectra Therapy LASER-wrap® is a truly portable laser unit that does not confine you to cords or stationary lamp type holders for use.

To register your unit online go to Spectra Therapy.com, or complete the enclosed registration card and return by mail.

Summary of LLLTs

The therapy is light energy absorbed into the patient’s tissue which triggers biological changes at a cellular level to provide topical healing for the temporary increase in local blood circulation; temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness; relaxation of muscles and relief of muscle spasms; as well as temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. The dose and frequency of treatment can be adjusted to produce the desired effect by selecting a treatment guideline.

The Physiological Effects of LLLT are:

Bio-stimulation
- Improved metabolism
- Increase of cell metabolism
Improved blood circulation and vasodilation
Reduces or eliminates pain
Anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects
Stimulation of wound healing
Reduces muscle spasms

How has LLLT worked for others?
Reduces inflammation
May relieve certain acute and chronic pains
Increases the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair

Increases blood supply
Stimulates the immune system and nerve function
Develops collagen and muscle tissue in certain cases
Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue
Promotes faster wound healing and clot formation
Enhances athletic performance
Minimizes stocking up

Summary of LLLTs
The LASERwrap® product line is unique as unlike other lasers that treat only a point of interest per single application, per attendant, Spectra treats the entire surrounding area repetitively and unattended. LASERwrap ®, via the automatic cycles, repeatedly improves the transfer of liquid in and out of the body’s cells, helping them to absorb oxygen and flush the lactic acid and other inflammatory enzymes. When wrapped around an extremity a wearable chamber is created, similar to an incubator treating soft tissues, bones, arteries, veins and meridians.

Treatments with LASERwrap®

We found the best way to treat the shoulders or hindquarter is with a dog vest.
It vasodilates not only the vascular system, but also lungs and abdominal areas to strengthen the animals organs for digestion. Combined effects of all areas treated improves the circulation of blood , lymph and O2, helping with the disposal of waste including lactic acid build up, strengthening the animals overall metabolism.

ONE IMPULSE UNIT- MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS
Grab a laser Impulse Unit and plug in the appropriate LASERwrap to treat legs, neck, back or joints, energizing the AREA of concern, vasodilating veins and arteries to improve circulation while lowering edema . Wearable, automated treatments day and night reduces stress, muscle spasms, arthritic pains, and speeds recovery. Slide filaments into impulse unit, then force last ¼ inch until snug.

QUICK & SIMPLE 3 joules/treatment
Treat the entire extremity or body at once Hands Free & Automatically

Absolutely nothing delivers results like LASERwrap® 8 to 12 hours on a charge. only 2 hours to recharge. Your choice of 2-3 treatments per hour, day or night
All wraps and garments are made with dual filament. LASERwrap® are machine washable polyester fabric that should be applied directly on the body so that coherent laser energy can be absorbed. Since the wraps are not sterile, gauze should be used for all open wounds, then apply the wraps over the gauze.

Meniscus, CCL, ACL, TPLO – Rehab

When a dog encounters CCL injury® it compromises the dogs overall mobility that may last 4-12 weeks . This lessens the dogs over all body strength, plus shoulder and hip muscles can go into atrophy . LASERwrap’s dog coat, automates vasodilation and mitochondria activation to the dog’s entire body as joints heal over this period. Below is describes steps to apply the CCL LASERwrap® which should be activate for an 1 hour 3 -4 times per day to accelerate healing

To use CCL/ACL/TPLO Strap, assemble & wrap as follows:

Affix black strap [use end with 6” of Velcro loop] to white Dual Filament [DF].
Insert LASER into the 40” DF & affix to Velcro loop on black strap
Position this black strap over dogs back with white DF down leg – shown Fig 2
Start from bottom to wrap DF up the leg.
When out of DF affix white elastic overstretch to DF and wrap securely around leg.
Grab black elastic under the dog’s stomach & wrap around outside of DF as shown.
Activate laser to begin automatic treatments

Automatic Hands Free LASER Therapy
3 treatments/hour Daytime – 2 treatments/hour all night.

EFFECTS

Increased Circulation Vasodilation allows more blood flow through the affected area
Increase Lymph Flow Waste fluid is quickly removed through the body’s natural channels
Increase Oxygen Flow Speeds natural healing processes and charges muscles with oxygen for higher performance
Flush Lactic Acid Reduces lactic acid build-up and replenish with protein for speedier recovery
Energy Activation Increases cell’s Mitochondria releasing ATP which stores energy in the form of chemical bonds

Vascular, Orthopedic, Metabolic, Excretory

A study by Detroit Medical Center showed 10.7% increase of oxygenation of the treated area. Repeat treatments make the difference. Wearable makes it practical.
