Dear James,

Thank you for agreeing to loan the laser unit to the department.

We have predominately been using the light intensity aspect of the unit for wound healing, in particular on one patient who has shown remarkable improvement over the short time we have used it.

Previously the wounds had become static through the healing process. All of these wounds had been static in nature with no significant improvement for at least one month.

Since initiating the light therapy treatments the wounds have decreased visually within one week and have continued to do so weekly.

Due to the significant nature and severity of the wounds, although they have not completely resolved yet, one wound has almost healed, with the other wounds progressing quickly.

In addition we have been using the 3B laser unit as a non surgical option for patients with morton's neuroma and digital neuritis.

Again patients have reported significant improvements in their level of pain after a few sessions.

We are finding the use of the laser unit to be a very positive and easy experience from the view of operators and from patients.

Thanks!
