1. Laser Therapeutic Devices of the Mustang 2000 and Mustang 2000+ Family
Principles of Devices Configuration
There are a number of basic requirements to laser therapeutic devices for the purpose of high efficiency of procedures:
- high accuracy and stability of laser radiation parameters of a wide range;
- control of laser radiation parameters: radiation power, radiation dose, wavelength;
- possibility of laser radiation delivery to the exposure area;
- simplicity of the use (visual controls, informativity of control systems, small dimensions and weight);
- high reliability and simplicity of technical service;
- adequacy to modern safety requirements.
Compliance with all these requirements will provide high treatment efficiency.
The principle of modular configuration of laser therapeutic devices fully complies with the given requirements. In accordance with this principle, a device is figuratively divided into three compatible parts: a basic unit, radiation probes and attachments.
The basic unit is the base of a laser therapeutic device. Its functions are to set radiation modes and radiation parameters, indicate settings and control the operation of a device.
The variety of methods of therapeutic treatment demands the use of laser and light-emitting diodes with different radiation parameters. Various radiation probes can serve for these purposes. These radiation probes contain one or a number of lasers and light-emitting diodes, and an electronic device which interfaces control signals from the basic unit to the laser.
Various optical attachments allow one to deliver radiation to the necessary area of exposure.
The modular principle allows one to use a wide range of laser and light-emitting diode probes which have different characteristics of spectrum, time-space and energy, which in its turn, raises the treatment efficiency to a whole new level due to combined realization of different methods of laser therapy.
The Mustang 2000+ laser therapeutic device is based on the modular principle and complies with all modern requirements. This is a device which consists of a basic unit, removable radiation probes and attachments.
The Mustang 2000+ device based on the modular principle allows one to create on the basis of one basic unit both general-purpose, multi-type polyclinic kits, and specialized systems.
Basic Units
Depending on the type of configuration, the basic unit has 1, 2 or 4 channels for the connection of radiation probes with an option of independent setting of radiation frequency and radiation power for each channel. Devices are designed in the same style and differ from each other in the width of the frame, depending on the number of channels. The choice of radiation channel is made by pushing the button on the device control panel.
When the device is switched on, it automatically identifies the types of radiation probes connected to the basic unit, and one by one it shows their titles and the number of the channel they are connected to, on the display.
The Mustang 2000+ laser therapeutic device. One-channel basic unit.
The device has a built-in photometer which allows one to measure radiation parameters for all types of the probes in the spectral range from ultraviolet with a wavelength of 365 nm to infrared with a wavelength of 1300 nm. The radiation power being measured, the device automatically identifies and displays the type of the connected probe, wavelength and radiation power in watt (for pulse radiation probes) or in milliwatt (for continuous-wave radiation probes).
During the procedure, the device measures and displays the radiation dose for each channel. This allows one to have a permanent control of the total radiation dose, without using any formulae or charts.
The Mustang 2000+, laser therapeutic device. Two-channel basic unit.
The radiation dose being calculated by means of formulae and charts, radiation pulse duration, as a rule, is taken to be 100 nsec (10-7 sec). Though this value is most typical for most pulse laser diodes used in laser therapeutic devices, however the range of pulse duration can be from 70 to 180 nsec, and the calculation of the dose by means of formulae and charts may lead to a significant mistake. The Mustang 2000+ laser therapeutic device, when calculating the dose, measures and takes into account radiation pulse duration of pulse laser diodes. The radiation dose is often given alone in methodological recommendations and literature without additional information on other parameters of radiation. In this case, the option of dose calculation is especially important.
Characteristic features of the Mustang 2000+ laser therapeutic device are as follows:
- 1, 2 or 4 independent channels for the connection of radiation probes;
- the option of setting radiation frequency (modulation frequency) and radiation power separately for each channel;
- a wide choice of different laser and light-emitting diode removable radiation probes of pulse, continuous-wave and modulated modes in the range of wavelength from 365 to 1300 nm (from ultraviolet to infrared);
- a general-purpose unit which displays the radiation parameters: the type of a radiation probe, radiation power, wavelength, radiation dose;
The Mustang 2000+ laser therapeutic device. Four-channel basic unit.
- the option to modulate radiation with the help of external sources: heart-rate and breath-rate sensors (BIO-controlled mode of modulation in accordance with the biorhythmicity of a patient), sources of special music programs, etc.;
- versatility of the use and high efficiency of treatment which is due to the option of practically any radiation mode and radiation parameters used in laser therapy;
- conformity with standard requirements;
- high reliability;
- modern design and well-thought-out ergonomics.
The Mustang 2000 and Mustang 2000+ devices with their options do not have any analogies, unique options of the devices allow to create on their basis both general-purpose “laser kits” which can realize practically all modern techniques of laser therapy, and specialized systems which are aimed at the maximum effective treatment of a small group of diseases in one field of medicine.

The Mustang 2000 laser therapeutic device has the same parameters as the Mustang 2000+ laser therapeutic device. The only difference is the absence of the options of digital display of removable radiation probe type and of dose calculation in the first device.
General-Purpose (Laser and Light-Emitting Diode) Radiation Probes
General-purpose radiation probes have a single emitter and can be classified by type of radiation source (laser or light-emitting diode), radiation mode (pulse or continuous-wave), wavelength and maximum radiation power. They can be used both separately, and in combination with different attachments (mirror, magnetic, optical, and acupuncture). Light-emitting diode radiation probes can be used in combination with magnetic, mirror, and polarizing attachments.

Optical Attachments
Optical attachments are used in combination with general-purpose radiation probes and are aimed at delivering energy of laser radiation to the area of exposure. The parameters which characterize an attachment are indicatrix of diffusion and coefficient of radiation lead-in which is the ratio of the power at the attachment output to the power at the attachment input. This coefficient depends not only on the type of attachment and its constructive features, but also on the type of laser, and it can vary from 0.4 to 0.6.
|
A-2 and A-3 acupuncture attachments are used in reflexotherapy and aimed at the concentration of laser radiation on the acupuncture points. These attachments have the area of exposure point of 4 and 1 mm2 respectively.
|
|
P-1 (Ï-1) proctological attachment (Figure À) forms a radiation spot of 5 to 10 mm in size at an angle of 100 - 120°. It is used in urology for transrectal exposure on prostate.
P-2 (Ï-2) proctological attachment (Figure Á) disperses radiation equally on cylinder with a diameter of 12 mm and with a length of 30 mm. It is used in urology for irradiation of prostate (in a transrectal manner) or in proctology for irradiation of rectal walls. Dispersion on a large surface makes the power density significantly lower than in P-1 (Ï-1), which in some degree is compensated by its versatility.
P-3 (Ï-3) proctological attachment (Figure Â) disperses radiation equally on cylinder with a diameter of 12 mm and with a length of 55 mm. It is used in proctology for irradiation of rectal walls (anal fissures, hemorrhoid, etc.).
|
|
G-1 (Ã-1) and G-2 (Ã-2) gynecological attachments (Figures À, Á) are used in gynecology for intravaginal irradiation of the cervix uteri and adnexa. These attachments form a radiation spot with a diameter of 18 - 20 mm in contact.
G-3 (Ã-3) gynecological attachment (Figure Â) disperses radiation equally on cylinder with a diameter of 14 mm and with a length of 80 mm. The attachment is aimed at intravaginal treatment of a number of inflammatory diseases.
|
|
U-1 (Ó-1) urological attachment is aimed at transurethral exposure on prostate and urethra. It is made of flexible material, and is 18 - 20 mm long. On its end, it has a dispersing cylindric part of high flexibility which is 20 mm long.
|
|

|
|
S-1 kit of stomatological attachments consists of 3 removable attachments and a special holder-connector, where a necessary attachment gets fixed.
|
|
ZN-25 (diameter of 25 mm), ZN30 (diameter of 30 mm), ZN35 (diameter of 35 mm), ZN50 (diameter of 50 mm) mirror attachments are aimed at the mirror-contact type of exposure. They allow to decrease the losses of laser radiation energy, they protect the doctor and the patient from reflected radiation, provide hygiene of the procedure and allow to calculate the density of radiation dose easily enough. For the contact type of procedure with the help of mirror attachments, the effective exposure area is taken to be 1 cm2, the dose density in this case is summary dose of exposure according to the values indicated on the display of the basic unit.
|
|
Magnetic Attachments
Magnet attachments are aimed at combined target exposure of the magnetic field and laser radiation energy, which increases the efficiency of laser therapy. ZM25, ZM35, ZM50, ZM150 attachments and KM2 kit of magnetic attachments are used with general-purpose radiation probes for the Mustang 2000+ and Mustang 2000 laser therapeutic devices.
|
ZM25, ZM35, ZM50 mirror magnetic attachments go in a plastic body and have a mirror working area. They combine positive features of magnetic and mirror attachments and have magnetic induction of 25, 35, 50 mT respectively in the working area. The COLOUR RING (ÖÂÅÒÍÎÅ ÊÎËÜÖÎ) shows with which pole this magnet is directed to the working area – with the north pole (a blue ring) or with the south pole (a red ring).
ZM150 attachments have magnetic induction of 150 mT and are constructed as a holder and a ring magnet. A ring magnet has two working areas with different poles of the magnetic field (north and south) and can be placed on the holder from either side.
KM2 kit of attachments has two holders and two ring magnets which have different magnetic induction from different sides: 25 and 50 mT, 50 and 75 mT respectively.
|
|
MM50 and MM100 magnetic attachments are aimed at being used with ML01K matrix radiation probes or the Muravey portable magnet-laser therapeutic devices. Magnetic attachments have magnetic field induction of 50 or 100 mT respectively. MM50 attachments additionally have a mirror working area.

BIO-Control Unit for the Mustang 2000 Laser Therapeutic Device
The BIO-control unit is aimed at synchronization of time parameters of laser exposure with the biorhythmicity of a particular patient. Heart rate and breath signals get fixed with the help of special sensors. The unit is connected to the Mustang 2000+, Mustang 2000 devices and allows to perform laser exposure modulated in accordance with the signals of heart rate and breath of the patient, and also with the floating frequency of 7 - 14 Hz.
In the BIO-control mode, laser radiation power is modulated by three signals. Carrier frequency is modulated by floating frequency of 7 – 14 Hz (it is set by a special generator). In this case, radiation power of carrier frequency in the absence of heart rate and breath signals makes 1/3 from the maximum value. When the heart rate and breath signals are available, radiation is additionally modulated, and 1/3 is added to the amplitude in the systole and inspiration phases. As a result, radiation power is minimal at expiration in the diastole phase, and at inspiration in the systole phase (most favorable moments of exposure) it reaches the maximum value.
The advantages of BIO-controlled chrono-laser therapy compared to conventional methods are the following: systematic treatment due to immunocorrection and intensification of antioxidant defense; recovery from desynchronosis; normalization of blood flow; regional and central blood-flow synchronization. This eliminates the causes and consequences of the disease.
The Mustang-Standard Universal Digital Laser Radiation Power Meter
Specifications:
- option to measure the average laser radiation power at six wavelengths (630 to 960 nm) in a power range of 1 to 400 mW, automatic choice of measurement limits;
- option to measure the pulse laser radiation power in a wavelength range of 630 to 960 nm;
- powered by two AA-batteries, automatic control of battery discharge;
- small size and easy of usage;
- State Standard Certificate.
It is recommended that the Mustang-standard power meter should be used as a multi-purpose measuring device for power control in laser therapeutic devices and other laser radiation sources.
