MedX Health Corp, Clearwater, Fla, which specializes in developing drug-free, noninvasive low-level laser and light therapy for tissue repair and pain relief, has received a Notice of Allowance by the Patent and Trademark Office for its laser and light probe use and method for bone healing, bone growth stimulation, and bone cartilage regeneration.
The allowed claims cover the use of its laser and light unit and the use of light therapy in various bone and cartilage healing situations, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, bone growth and regeneration following a break, rheumatoid arthritis, and wound healing.
The use of low-level lasers and light therapy has been documented to be effective in promoting healing of bone, muscle, cartilage, tendon, and ligaments, the company says. The newly allowed claims will cover the laser and light probe and its use in the treatment of damaged bone and cartilage.
The probe emits light, which triggers biological changes within the body, stimulating and accelerating cellular metabolic processes, the company says, adding that the process of using the laser and light probe increases the circulation by formulating new capillaries, and also stimulates collagen protein production, accelerating the healing process by helping damaged bone cells and tissue replace themselves more rapidly.
