The RianCorp LTU-904 is an infrared Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) used for muscular skeletal conditions, pain relief and supports Lymphoedema Care. Its invisible wavelength penetrates deeply into the tissue but does not generate any heat. This makes it also suitable to use post injury or post surgery and of course with Lymphoedema Management. In the clinic it is used in conjunction with MLD / CDT as part of the individualised treatment plan.
