OIRF Introduces New Instrumentation

By Carolyn L. Winsor-Sturm

Here are some personal comments from Carolyn written after her return from the OIRF Germany Tour #34 and the 2007 MEDICA Trade Fair in Düsseldorf, Germany in mid-November 2007. OIRF is very pleased to introduce this quality German instrumentation for highly effective Low Level Laser Therapy.

The other device I would like to introduce to you with this issue of “The Bridge” is the PowerLaser by POWER MEDIC. In a step outside the box for the Institute, this device is made by a Danish company. As one of the worlds leading pioneers in low level laser therapy they have been on the “cutting edge” now for twenty-five years. I had the great pleasure of meeting and talking with Mr. Arne Grinsted who is the president and CEO of POWER MEDIC when I attended the MEDICA trade fair in Düsseldorf. Please visit their website at www.powermedic.dk to see some really neat pictures and for more details that I can give you here.

All I can really say is “WOW!” Their hand held lasers are fantastic. Any of you working with lasers will be as impressed as I was once you get your hands on it. Very high quality, easy to work with, it is fully ISO 13485 certified, AND is fully CE certified and US FDA registered! What more could we ask for? High quality manufacture, an easy to use ergonomic design giving us a highly effective therapy – and best of all it is registered in the USA.

Of the three models of handheld lasers, one is not recommended and that is the “little” one, the PL105 MkI. That unit has the lowest milliwatt output and was the first unit that was US FDA registered – their foot in the door so to speak. They also have what they call a GIGALaser. However it is ultra expensive (in excess of $42,000 US), and will not be as effective as the BioPhoton units we are already using at 1/3 the price.

Instead, I recommend the PL500 MkIII and the PL1000 MkIII. Both of these units have a much higher milliwatt output than the little one, and thus are more powerful as therapy devices. Both are supplied with a handy carrying case, two detachable/rechargeable batteries, intelligent recharging unit with international AC adapter, instruction manual, and laser therapy manual.

The units are very ergonomic and balance nicely in the hand. There are 5 therapy programs and the unit constantly monitors the output power. The POWER Laser is CE and FDA cleared for the following indications: Arthritis, inflammation, epicondylitis, myofascial pain and wound healing. I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of laser therapy on wound healing, and this unit should produce such fast and obvious results that it will appear miraculous. One of these is definitely on my Christmas wish list!

The only drawback is that for at least the first few orders, we have to order five units at a time. I sweet talked Mr. Grinsted into letting us mix up the 500 and 1000 mW models to count as one order, and I think we should be able to place an order by early in the New Year. We will ask you for a deposit and then the balance will have to be paid before we place the order with the company in Denmark. All prices include shipping and importation into the US, but there will be a small extra charge for shipping it to you from their US warehouse.

With all best wishes, I respectfully remain . . .
