Bioptron™ light therapy effects on surgical wound healing in dogs

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Since the discovery of the therapeutically effects of the Bioptron™ light, its used as a treatment for a large variety of diseases. Bioptron™ is clinically tested and certified for the medical treatment of wounds. The medical light therapy device can be used for: Wound healing after trauma; Burns; Skin graft healing; Wound healing after surgery; Decubitus (pressure ulcers). The wound healing effects of Bioptron™ light therapy is undoubtedly associated with improvement of blood microcirculation, enhancement of the trophic function of blood, but also with increase of concentration in blood serum of growth factors and some cytokines. Wounds are represented the interruption of the continuity of tissue that is followed by damage or cellular death. Wound healing occurs due to a competitive mechanism between the synthesis and lysis of collagen. Any factor that increases collagen lysis or reduces its synthesis may result in changes in the healing process, i.e., nutritional deficiencies. Bioptron™ light: it is polychromatic visible and infrared components simulates spectral and power density parameters of two dominant kinds of the terrestrial Solar radiation - the main environmental factor. During evolution they could promote the development in living organisms the adoptive beneficial mechanisms of light utilization. The advantage of visible light therapy for skin injuries and diseases with the photobiomodulation in which light at low energy levels modulates intracellular and extracellular photoreceptors by molecular and cellular processes. The irradiation effects are activated soon after exposure. The main aim of regenerative medicine is the complex system of regeneration.
