The device delivers 1.1W over an area of 14.5cm^2 which is a power density of 75mW/cm^2. In a minute, this is 4.5 J/cm^2.

What is the WALT VTF chart, and can you source it?

WALT (World Association for Laser Therapy) VTF (Veterinary Task Force) guidelines have not been officially published yet. However, they were developed by a neutral panel of veterinarians and industry experts.

Are your protocols based on overall fluence or patient response?

Our protocols show fluence for different conditions. However, factors like wavelength and pressure also play a role. We also stress the importance of rechecks where Range of Motion (ROM) measurements can be taken.

What is the Class of your laser device?

Our device is a Class I laser.

Does your device use pulsed or continuous wave (CW) lasers?

We offer both modes: pulsed and continuous. The effectiveness of these modes varies depending on the condition being treated, and much more research is needed to determine optimal parameters.

How can I get detailed specifications for the Luma PBM machine?

The specifications such as wattage, J/cm2, treatment area, etc., are available on our website. These specs are also supported by the World Association of Laser Therapy (WALT) in their guidelines for Veterinary Medicine.
