About The LTU-904 Low Level Laser Device

The RianCorp LTU-904 is a low-level laser device. The handheld laser is an infra-red laser that operates at a wavelength of 904 nanometers. The wavelength penetrates deeply into tissue and produces a photochemical reaction at a cellular level. When the laser light from the low level laser penetrates tissue, the light is absorbed by cells and converted into energy that affects metabolic processes.

More Info About The LTU-904 Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Unit And Its Applications

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) units offer a safe and effective option for treating lymphedema and other medical conditions. Below is more information about the LTU-904 laser specifically, as well as LLLT devices in general.

Class 1 Lasers

The FDA, in conjunction with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) classifies lasers. Class 1 lasers must meet strict safety standards, and the power output of Class 1 lasers is generally very low, so that they do not cause harm to the skin. LLLT units for lymphedema typically use low-intensity light within specific wavelengths (usually between 600-1000 nanometers). The LTU-904 is a Class 1 laser.

RianCorp

The Rian Corporation specializes in low-level laser therapy devices, and the LTU-904 is their flagship product.

The LTU-904 Low-Level Laser Unit By RianCorp

A highly specialized low-level laser therapy unit, the LTU-904 is designed primarily for the treatment of lymphedema, particularly post-mastectomy. This LLLT unit emits an invisible infrared wavelength of 904 nanometers, which enables deep penetration without generating heat. This makes the laser ideal for sensitive conditions, such as lymphedema and soft tissue injuries.

Features Of The LTU-904 Low-Level Laser

The LTU-904 laser is a handheld device that is portable and easy to use. The features of the laser include:

•  - lightweight
•  - built-in timer
•  - audible indicator to signal that the laser is in use
•  - rechargeable batteries (provide up to 5 hours of continuous use)
•  - operates at an infrared wavelength of 904 nanometers

Low-Level Laser Therapy For Post-Mastectomy Lymphedema

During a mastectomy, the lymph nodes in the armpit are often damaged or removed, because cancer has spread or could potentially spread to these nodes. After a mastectomy, the removal or impairment of lymph nodes can disrupt the normal flow of lymphatic fluid, leading to fluid buildup and swelling in the arm, hand, breast, and/or chest wall.

Benefits Of Low-Level Laser Therapy For Post-Mastectomy Healing

Low-level laser therapy can help with post-mastectomy healing by helping to:

•  - stimulate lymphatic drainage
•  - reduce pain and inflammation
•  - alleviate symptoms like tightness and heaviness
•  - reduce limb volume
•  - improve collagen formation
•  - enhance capillary blood flow
•  - prevent fibrosis (tissue hardening)

FDA Clearance For The LTU-904 LLLT

The LTU-904 low-level laser is unique in that it is the only FDA-approved laser for the treatment of post-mastectomy lymphedema.

Low-Level Laser Therapy At Home

You need to check with your healthcare provider, but many people use Class 1 LLLT devices at home, under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

Training Required To Use A LLLT Device

The LTU-904 low-level laser is easy to operate and typically only requires basic training in order to administer treatments./p>

Healthcare Providers Who Typically Offer LLLT Treatments

Low-level laser therapy services are often provided by: lymphedema therapists, lymphedema specialists, doctors, nurses, laser technicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists
