The LightForce XLi is a professional musculoskeletal/physical therapy laser emitting up to 40W at 810/980nm wavelengths. The LightForce XLi is indicated for emitting energy in the visible and near infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for a temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm; the temporary increase in local blood circulation; and the temporary relaxation of muscle. The XLi laser system includes a therapeutic laser console and optical delivery system. The optical delivery system consists of a flexible optical fiber connected to a hand piece with interchangeable treatment heads and provides motion feedback to the user. A custom software application allows the user to select from built-in treatment protocols that adjust dosage and wavelength based on patient characteristics and condition. The device also provides the ability to set custom treatment parameters including output power, treatment time, and pulse rate.
An electrically-powered diode laser intended to provide non-surgical laser therapy [e.g., infrared phototherapy, low-level laser therapy (LLLT)] for localized treatment of musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., muscle/joint pain, sports injury), improving blood circulation in the treated areas to facilitate healing, or for non-needle acupuncture. It typically consists of a control unit which may be mounted on a mobile trolley, a foot-switch, and a connected applicator/beam guide designed for internal (e.g., intravaginal) or transcutaneous delivery of visible red/infrared laser light energy/heat. It is intended to be operated by a healthcare professional exclusively in a clinical setting.
