Abstract
A therapeutic device for treating bodies of a human or an animal with infrared emissions from a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted in an applicator head. The head is connected to a handle by a flexible, position retaining neck. A battery for supplying power to the LEDs is mounted either in the handle or applicator head. A filtering lens is mounted in the applicator head for filtering out unwanted infrared emissions. The groups of LEDs emit different wavelengths and intensities to provide an effective emission pattern.
Claims20
A therapeutic light device comprising:
- a handle;
- an applicator head;
- an adjustable, position retaining neck extending between the handle and the applicator head;
- a plurality of infrared emitting diodes mounted in the head for applying infrared radiation to a subject's body;
- and
- an energy source for energizing the diodes.
3 more elements
A therapeutic light device comprising:
- an applicator head;
- at least first and second groups of infrared emitting diodes mounted in the head for applying infrared radiation to a subject's body, each of said groups emitting infrared radiation at different wavelengths, with certain of said diodes having different focal lengths than other of said diodes;
- and
- an energy source for energizing the diodes.
