Laser Probes

In addition to the Control Unit, selection of the appropriate probes completes an Omega Laser System.

Each probe is produced to emit light at a specific wavelength, or set of wavelengths, and this is the most important factor for selection both in terms of the target cell responsiveness, and so the type of application, as well as the depth of penetration. For a guide on which package might be applicable for you, see our example Packages. For further guidance on which probes would be best for your particular needs, contact us or your Omega distributor to discuss.

Colourways

All probes are interchangeable and apart from the 915nm probe which comes in Chrome, equivalent white versions of all the probes below are also available for use with the Xp Clinic control unit.

The infra-red probes are used for pain relief and healing at depth. 

Allowing deeper penetration than the red-light probes, the 820nm single infra-red probes are available in powers between 50 and 200mW. With the higher powers delivering more energy per point, selection depends upon particular intended applications.

Infra-red 5-diode cluster probes with articulated heads and autoclavable bezels are also now available. These apply an 820nm wavelength beam on each of 5 points at once, being ideal for situations where treatment time is at a premium. Each of the single probes accepts any of our range of autoclavable tips.

Visible red-light wavelengths are used for reinvigorating healing of the dermis and superficial tissue.

In addition to the single probes, all of which (apart from the 915nm probe) can be provided with your choice of tips and attachments, we can now offer a red-light cluster probe with 5 laser diodes facilitating rapid treatment of more extensive superficial areas. This reduces clinical treatment time and improves cost-effectiveness.

Our compact cluster probes all come with articulated heads for ease of use and also have autoclavable bezels. Where the clinical need can be served by either a single or a cluster probe, the choice is then between prioritising initial outlay or cost of treatment time, according to your circumstances.

Omega’s multi-wavelength cluster probes incorporate the most effective wavelength combinations from research results into a practical large irradiation area.

The use of selected multiple wavelengths has been found to create a synergistic effect, resulting in a cellular response enhanced by comparison with single wavelength use only. 

Increasingly the most effective protocols for certain clinical applications are found to involve the use of a multi-wavelength probe in serial combination with a purely infra-red wavelength probe.

As detailed below, we offer four multi-wavelength probes, with combinations of between 20 to 60 diodes in each utilizing 5 or 6 different wavelengths. The smaller clusters are more suitable for areas such as hands or feet, and the larger versions allow improved rapid coverage. All have articulated heads for convenience and clinician comfort in treatment.

The coherence of the light emitted by the diodes includes Superluminescent LED and (for the 46 cluster) Laser as well. Each of these probes is classed as 3B in Laser classification.
