Description
What it is?
- Type/Name: 9CLS cluster applicator, 540mW total (often sold as “Laser Diode w/LED 9CLS 5×100mW 540mW”)
- Use case: Photobiomodulation/low-level laser therapy over a medium treatment zone, giving broader and more even coverage than a single-diode probe while staying smaller/lighter than the 33-diode head
Diodes & Wavelengths (core specs)
This applicator contains 9 emitters with a mixed laser + LED layout:
- 5 × Laser diodes:
- 850nm infrared, 100 mW each
- Primary role: deeper tissue penetration (muscle, tendon, joint capsule).
- 4 × LED diodes:
- 670nm red, 10mW each
- Primary role: superficial/near-surface targets (skin, superficial tendon, trigger points).
Why the mix matters: combining IR laser with red LED lets a single treatment cover both depth and surface in one pass
Power & Coverage
- Total output: 540mW (0.54 W). healthy-livingshop.com+4Chattanooga Medical Supply+4Eray Medical+4
- Clinical effect of the lower wattage vs. 27812:
- More conservative power for smaller areas or more sensitive patients, with dosing controlled by time/J/cm².
- Still faster and more uniform than a single diode because energy is spread across 9 sources.
Control/Software features (when connected to a base unit)
- Independent control of treatment parameters
- Energy display in Joules or J/cm²
- Continuous and pulsed modes with fully variable pulse frequencies
- Real-time feedback showing energy delivered during treatment
- Preset clinical indications specific to the applicator
- User-defined protocol slots for saving your own settings
- Quick/easy connection to Vectra Genisys electrotherapy/combination devices with laser capability
(Those are the practical knobs you/clinicians actually feel day-to-day.)
Compatibility
•Designed for Chattanooga laser systems such as Vectra Genisys / Genisys TranSport and also listed as compatible with Vectra Neo units that have the laser module.
Safety/Class note
When used with its base unit, it’s part of a Class 3B therapeutic laser system, so standard laser precautions apply (eye protection, controlled environment).
