Infrared physical therapy lamp hazards

Common infrared damage are the following: First, the irradiation of infrared lamps can cause damage to the eyes, and attention should be paid to eye protection during treatment, such as using eye shields or thick towels to cover the eyes, and not to direct irradiation of the eyes. When irradiating the face and around the eyes, be sure to cover the eyes, mainly the eye fissure, eye position, such as the eyelid these positions of infrared light is not a big problem, do not use infrared light directly against the eyes; second, with infrared radiation, especially long-term exposure can make local skin pigmentation changes, and skin repeatedly receive infrared radiation, the local inflammatory response and pigmentation Third, when irradiating infrared light should be based on the patient’s skin lesions and degree, to choose the appropriate energy, and the appropriate irradiation distance, such as infrared irradiation process, the patient has a comfortable warm feeling is normal. If you feel hotter, or if the skin has a network of red spots, it means that the intensity of the irradiation is too large, you should increase the distance of irradiation, adjust the light farther away, irradiation is recommended for about 30 minutes at a time, 1-2 times a day, do not take too long, in the process of irradiation, for the elderly his senses may be more dull, the response to adverse stimuli is also slower The elderly may have slower sensory response to adverse stimuli. Especially in people with sensory nerve disorders, when lighting must master its distance, energy, and exposure time to avoid causing skin damage, burns.
