Description

Recently satisfactory results have been obtained with laser therapy. Lasers are expected to have wider applicability in the future.<BR>The introduction of a new medical system to meet future demand was examined when the hospital was established. Functional and economical laser apparatus and the centralization of this system were under consideration for future laser therapy. From this point of view, a low-priced laser central supply system was developed. The laser central supply system is as follows. The laser beam produced by a YAG laser apparatus ISMS is transmitted through optical fiber cable via a fiber box to a connector box. A laser beam with equivalent output can be irradiated from the end of a secondary fiber cable joined to the connector box. The conditions for the irradiation of laser beam are indicated through interphone. There are foot switches in treatment rooms to start and stop the laser irradiation as a useful precaution.<BR>The characteristics of this system are as follows. As the YAG laser apparatus IS101S is fixed, regulation on movement of the apparatus is not needed. It does not need large space other than a small fiber box and connector box on the wall in the treatment room. Moreover these boxes perform as well as the main machine. It does not require a large capacity power supply or water cooling apparatus in each treatment room. It is inexpensive and it is easy to set up additional YAG laser apparatuses or other laser apparatuses.
