3. The Mulat Laser Therapeutic Device for Intravenous Laser Irradiation of Blood
One of the types of laser irradiation of a body is intravenous laser irradiation of blood, which nowadays is successfully used in cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, gynecology, urology, anesthesiology, dermatology, and other spheres of medicine. Deep scientific research of the question and predictability of results encourage the usage of intravenous laser irradiation of blood both separately, and in a combination with other methods of treatment. The flexibility and effectiveness of the method are unprecedented.
Intravenous laser therapy can be performed practically in any hospital or polyclinic. One of the advantages of outpatient laser therapy is that a possibility of nosocomial infection development is reduced, and a good psychoemotional atmosphere is created, which allows the patient to maintain working capacity for a long period of time, as he/she can undergo necessary procedures and get a complete treatment.
Treatment is performed daily or every other day; a course of treatment makes from 3 to 10 sessions. The exposure time for the treatment of most diseases makes from 15 to 20 minutes for a session with adults and from 5 to 7 minutes with children. However, irradiation parameters may be varied in accordance with medical conditions and a concrete method. The usage of the KIVL-01 disposable sterile light-guiding fibers with a needle makes a procedure of intravenous laser irradiation of blood painless and absolutely safe.
A modern device on the basis of laser diodes, the Mulat laser therapeutic device, is aimed at intravenous irradiation of blood by way of radiation at different wavelengths – from ultraviolet to infrared, including a “classic” wavelength of 633 nm. The source of radiation (a laser or a light-emitting diode) is placed just in the optical connector of the probe. This allows to keep the initial polarization of radiation (for lasers), which provides a maximum therapeutic effect. The parameters of laser and light-emitting diode probes are given in the Table.

The KIVL-01 disposable sterile light-guiding fibers with a needle are used to perform intravenous laser irradiation of blood. These light-guiding fibers are connected to a special connector of the probe. There is smooth adjustment and digital checking of optical radiation power on the light-guiding fiber output for all types of probes. For laser sources there is additionally digital checking of laser radiation power. Permanent checking of laser radiation power allows to increase the quality of procedure performance and of the device technical service. The device has an automatic timer and a digital display of procedure time duration. The device has additionally digital display of radiation wavelength, which is particularly important as there is a wide range of exposure wavelengths.
