4. Anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects
5.  Promotes wound healing
6.  Temporarily promotes reduction of muscle spasms
   • May relieve certain acute and chronic pains

The LASER wrap™ product line is unique as unlike other lasers that treat only a point of interest per single application, per attendant, Spectra treats the entire surrounding area repetitively and unattended. LASER wrap™, via the automatic cycles, repeatedly improves the transfer of liquid in and out of the body’s cells, helping them to absorb oxygen and flush the lactic acid and other inflammatory enzymes. When wrapped around an extremity a wearable chamber is created : similar to a baby incubator treating soft tissues, bones, arteries, veins and meridians. Absolutely nothing delivers results like LASER wrap® 8 or 12 hours on a charge only 2.5-3.5 hours to Recharge. – All wraps and garments made with dual filament . LASER wrap® are machine washable polyester fabric that should be applied directly on the body so that coherent laser energy can be absorbed. Since the wraps are not sterile, gauze should be used for all open wounds, then apply the wraps over the gauze.

Treatments with LASER wrap

QUICK & SIMPLE

Treat the entire extremity or body at once. Hands Free & Automatically. Coherent Laser. Nothing delivers results like LASER wrap®

•  8-10 hours on a charge
• 2.5-3.5 hours to recharge Improves both macro and micro circulation

Abdominal & Back LASER wrap® Treatments

Improve Comfort

• LASER wrap® improves circulation for healing and reduces soreness related to muscle spasms, stress, tension and gas issues; relieves skeletal-muscular arthritic PAIN. Circulation improvements using LASER wrap’s VIOLET mode helps firm up stretched skin tissues caused during pregnancy, recovering quickly from tummy tucks or hernia surgeries.
• I used the laser 2-3 times a day for about 30 min -to hour the first 3 weeks after labor, and twice a day for 30 minutes after 3 weeks. I could tell a HUGE difference in my body as you can see in the pictures. Let me add, I have done NO diets or exercises after I had my baby. I do believe GREEN LASER wrap® mode made me heal much faster than normal! My postpartum bleeding was only half the time they estimated from the hospital. My hemorrhoids shrunk quickly and they are hardly even noticeable and never hurt. I also tore from my delivery and had to get stitches, which healed much quicker than they told me they would and I was never sore from them. I also used LASER wrap® on my back because I got so sore from the epidural and it eased the pain instantly when I used it. I would definitely recommend any postpartum mommy to use LASER wrap® to heal faster and to reduce soreness after childbirth! I truly believe it was what helped me bounce back to myself.

Why it works! ENERGIZES BLOOD
Laser photons apply a charge to the blood cells causing cells to repel one another, decreasing the viscosity of the blood, allowing more oxygen and lymph by widening blood vessels.

• Increase Circulation Blood flow
• Increase Lymph Flow Transport waste
• Increase Oxygen Flow Muscle energy
• Flush Lactic Acid Replenish with protein
•  Energy Activation of ATP by Mitochondria

A study by Detroit Medical Center showed 10.7 % increase of oxygenation of the treated area. Repeat treatments make the difference. Wearable makes it practical.

The Spectra Therapy IMPULSE Laser unit, model A-10 is designed to have laser filaments inserted into the slots on the front of the unit.

Breathe Easier with Wearable LASER wrap®

• Laser therapy is proven to improve blood and lymph flow increasing oxygen level while decreasing mucus to improve breathing.

• Slip LASER wrap® Vest over head, then se-cure vest around abdomen with elastic straps provided. Then slip T-shirt (preferable-ley with 5% spandex) over vest to keep vest close to body both front and back.
• The LASERWRAP® does not treat pneumonia onn its own.
• Always refer to your personnel physician for proper treatment.
• The body’s efforts to fight viruses can cause inflammation on lungs, making breathing difficult. Blood vessels damaged in the war between the virus and immune system may begin to leak fluid into lung tissues that become visible  as white on spots on chest x-rays. The fluid may drown some of the tiny air sacs preventing them from delivering oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide. This type of inflammation is pneumonia.
• Repeated LASER treatments effectively reduce pulmonary inflammation, helping seniors as well as athletes reduce coughs and muscle spasm pain using vasodilation.
• Test case measure increased blood oxygen levels up 2-4 points after a couple nights of sleeping with LASER wrap® based on severity of their condition. We have found  the LASER wrap® vest is more effective with patients reacting quicker since it treats the front and back sides of a majority of their organs simultaneously.

WEARABLE LASER wrap® provides automated laser treatments that are effective & practical providing quick symptom relief…

Conical LASER wrap® & U-Wrap Applications
