Major principles of
multi-factor Quantum Low Level Laser Therapy with TerraQuant.
Pulsed infrared laser radiation
penetrates tissues 4—5 inches (10—13 cm) deep and has strong
simulating effects on blood circulation, cell membranes,
regenerating the cell
Continuous incoherent infrared radiation penetrates
shallower tissue depths and has a broader spectrum compared
to laser radiation.
Pulsed red light is identified with beneficial
anti-inflammatory effect (especially in areolar tissue).
According to long-term studies, pulsed red light in known to
improve psycho emotional tonus — despite the fact that it
penetrates smaller tissue depths. In addition, red light
makes a treated area visible and has a local warming and
psychotherapeutic effect.
The effects of laser therapy are
photochemical in general and with super-pulsed lasers such as
the TerraQuant Laser also photomechanical. Photons enter the
tissue and are absorbed in the cell’s mitochondria and at the
cell membrane by chromophores. These chromophores are
photosensitizers that generate reactive oxygen species
following irradiation thereby influencing cellular redox
states and the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Within the
mitochondria, the photonic energy is converted to
electromagnetic energy in the form of molecular bonds in ATP.
It is obvious that, in order to interact with the living
cell, laser light has to be absorbed by intracellular
chromophores.
Cell membrane permeability increases, which promotes
physiological changes to occur. These physiological changes
affect macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, mast
cells, bradykinin, and nerve conduction rates.
The clinical and physiological effects are obtained by the
way in which the tissues absorb laser radiation. This tissue
absorption depends on the wavelength of the beam itself and
the power to ensure that the laser energy reaches the target
tissue at the necessary clinical levels. The use of an
improper wavelength laser would not penetrate into the tissue
to reach the target area. Furthermore, even if one has a
laser with the proper wavelength, if the device does not have
enough power to drive the energy into the tissue, the target
area may not realize the potential benefits.
Each type of laser emits light at a very specific wavelength
which interacts with the irradiated tissue. It also acts in
particular with the chromophores present in the tissue, but
in a different way. A chromophore, intrinsic or extrinsic, is
any substance, colored or clear, which is able to absorb
radiation. Among the endogenous chromophores, water and
hemoglobin, nucleic acid and proteins can be listed. Among
the exogenic chromophores we can instead find porphyrins and
hematoporphyrins, which are injected into the organism. These
are described as photosensitizers because they fix themselves
to the tissue making it photosensitive at specific
wavelengths

TerraQuant is portable and ecologically safe. This versatile
device has a variety of uses in rural, field and military
conditions, schools, sport centers, industrial enterprises
and correctional facilities.
