Experiences in the Development and Use of Low-power Laser Therapy Devices
Abstract
The development experimented within the matter of low power laser for a therapeutic purpose in our country is presented. Since the mid 80s of the last century until now, there has been substantial progress, especially with the equipment developed and manufactured under the registers LASERMED and FISSER. Here it is shown a list of different industrial models, which use both gas HeNe lasers or semiconductor lasers. Given the difficulties inherent to the process of technological innovation management, due to the different levels of training of personnel who employs the laser equipment, it was necessary to implement a training system for human resources related to the activity, in order to ensure a successful process. It is also described the most important moments in the development and introduction of the equipment in the National Health Network and medical specialties with the highest incidence.
