The Sollux stationary light-thermal emitter consists of a parabolic-shaped reflector mounted on a tripod and an incandescent lamp with a power of 500-1000 W. The lamp is used to irradiate large areas of the body. An incandescent lamp contains a tungsten filament located in a glass container filled with nitrogen. The thread temperature can reach up to 2800°. The lamp emits mainly infrared and visible rays and a very small amount of ultraviolet rays (most of them are absorbed by the glass of the lamp).

It (Fig. 55) consists of a small tripod mounted on a cast iron stand, a reflector and a light source placed in it - an incandescent lamp with a power of 150-300 W. Using a hinged device, the reflector can be rotated in the desired direction. A tube is attached to the reflector, which allows irradiation of a small limited area of the body. The tube has a hole for a red or blue glass filter.

Turn on the electrical network using a switch. The reflector can be installed in any position. Irradiation is usually carried out from a distance of 80-60 cm from the irradiated surface (corresponding to the patient’s feeling of pleasant warmth). Procedures are carried out daily or every other day, duration 15-30 minutes.

The patient undergoes the procedure while sitting or lying down. A beam of light is directed onto a naked area of the body. The patient should be warned that in order to avoid burns, if he feels a burning sensation, he must immediately report this to the nurse, who regulates the intensity of radiation by changing the distance of the lamp from the patient’s body.

A tabletop emitter has become widely used for irradiating small areas of the body. The irradiator is placed on a table and painful areas are irradiated (most often the ear, nose and throat area) for 15-30 minutes. The distance is adjusted according to the patient’s feeling of pleasant warmth.

The Sollux portable light-thermal emitter (Fig. 56) resembles a tabletop one, but without a cast-iron stand. It is placed in a suitcase with a tripod attached to the bottom. This irradiator is usually used for home care.

These light-thermal irradiators are used when it is necessary to apply heat to resolve infiltrates, reduce pain and spasms.

The infrared radiation of these irradiators penetrates relatively deep; it causes redness of the skin, which lasts for some time even after irradiation ends. Sweating is weak or absent. The reaction from the cardiovascular system and respiratory organs is also weakly expressed. Since air circulates between the irradiator and the body, causing sweat to evaporate, the patient can easily tolerate the procedure.

To avoid burns appears when the lamp falls out of the base onto the patient, the irradiator should be installed slightly to the side of him; You can put a protective thin metal mesh over the hole in the tube.

Light therapy procedures have become very popular recently. To warm tissues, health workers use infrared and ultraviolet rays. The difference in the impact of these two types of rays lies in the effect on tissue: ultraviolet rays have a superficial effect, only with a depth of 0.5 mm. Infrared rays are able to penetrate much deeper into tissues (about 5 cm).

In light therapy practice, three types of lamps are used:

With infrared rays (infrared reflector).
With ultraviolet rays (mercury-quartz lamps).
With visible, infrared rays (Sollux, light bath, Minin lamp).

Let's consider the principle of operation and indications for using the Sollux lamp.

Sollux lamp

The Sollux lamp is an artificial light source. The device is represented by a high-power incandescent lamp, which is placed in a special reflector. To carry out physiotherapeutic procedures in medicine, two types of lamps are used:

Big Sollux. This is a stationary lamp equipped with a burner, the power of which is in the range of 500 - 1000 W.
Small Sollux. This is a portable lamp equipped with a burner, the power of which is in the range of 200 - 300 W.

Naturally, the “small Sollux” is considered more convenient for home use. Such a lamp can be of two types:

desktop This model is equipped with a tripod, which is mounted on a cast iron base; good lamps are produced by the Ufo company;
portable. This model is characterized by strengthening the tripod on the wall of the suitcase.

Impact on the body

The lamp in question is used for local irradiation on different parts of the body. It is prescribed for a more intense, deep thermal effect on body tissues. Its action is superior to light physiotherapeutic procedures performed using a Minin lamp and an infrared reflector.

The Sollux lamp uses shorter wavelengths than the above lamps. These rays penetrate very deeply. Irradiation with such rays is very simple. To influence a specific area of the body, it is enough to direct the light beam by tilting the reflector.

The infrared rays of the device are able to penetrate deep into the skin. They have the following effects on the epidermis:

warming up;
stimulation of blood flow;
dilation of blood vessels.

Thanks to the stimulation of blood flow, tissue nutrition is restored, substances formed during active muscle work are quickly eliminated. Taking into account such actions, the Sollux lamp has become indispensable in medicine and cosmetology.

Indications for the procedure

A physiotherapeutic light therapy procedure is prescribed to patients with inflammation of the following organs:

joints;
liver;
muscles;
female genital organs;
biliary tract;
pleura.

Contraindications

The use of the Sollux lamp is contraindicated if the patient has the following diseases:

tendency to bleed;
, in which there is a violation of sensitivity;
, manifested in circulatory failure;

How is it carried out?

To carry out the procedure, the patient must sit down and take a lying position. It will remain in this position until warm-up is complete.

To carry out a physiotherapeutic procedure using a Sollux lamp, it is necessary to install the latter parallel to the irradiated surface of the body. The lamp can also be installed at an angle to the body. In other words, the lamp is located on the side of the sick person.

The main thing is that the lamp is not perpendicular to the patient’s body. This is a kind of precautionary measure against falling fragments in the event that the lamp bursts. But modern lamps use unbreakable glass.

Thanks to the tilt of the reflector, you need to direct the beam of light to the area of the body that needs to be warmed up. During the procedure, the specialist periodically inquires about the patient’s sensation of heat. The intensity of the effect is adjusted by moving the lamp closer to/away from the patient.

The dosage of the procedure is calculated taking into account such indicators as:

distance. It should be selected so that the patient does not experience discomfort during the procedure. Usually it is 20 – 50 cm;
duration. Warming up is carried out for 20 - 30 minutes.

After the procedure is stopped, redness remains on the epidermis and lasts for some time. Sweating is usually weak and may be absent altogether. There is practically no reaction from the respiratory system.

The entire course of physiotherapy includes 20 - 25 procedures, they can be carried out daily, every other day.

Physiotherapeutic value

Most often, the Sollux lamp is used for painful sensations in the throat and nose (for colds). The procedure is recommended to achieve the following goals:

Reduced pain sensitivity.
Resorption of infiltrate.
Providing an antiseptic effect.

The Sollux lamp consists of a parabolic reflector mounted on a tripod, which can be installed in any position, which allows irradiation of different parts of the body. In the lamps of previous releases, there was a rheostat on the bottom of the tripod to adjust the degree of incandescence of the lamp.

The Sollux lamp is usually used for local irradiation of various parts of the body. A tube shaped like a truncated cone attached to the reflector allows you to limit the irradiation surface.

The radiation source is an incandescent lamp with a power of 500-1000 W, consisting of a tungsten filament placed in a glass cylinder filled with nitrogen. The temperature of the filament can be increased to 2500-2800°. The effect of a Sollux lamp is determined by the infrared and visible parts of the spectrum and is reduced to heating the irradiated area.

To irradiate small areas, a small model of the Sollux lamp is used, in which the radiation source is an incandescent lamp with a power of 300 W.

The technique of irradiation with a Sollux lamp is simple. A beam of light is directed onto the irradiated area of the body. When setting the distance from the patient’s body to the lamp, one should be guided by the sensations of the patient, who should experience uniform, pleasant warmth all the time.

A patient who is being exposed to radiation for the first time should be warned that if he feels a burning sensation, he should immediately report it to avoid burns. The degree of irradiation is regulated by changing the temperature of the filament using a rheostat, and in new models of lamps - by changing the distance of the lamp from the patient's body. Irradiation duration is 15-30 minutes; irradiate daily or every other day.

Light therapy procedures have become very popular recently. To warm tissues, health workers use infrared and ultraviolet rays.

Indications and contraindications for the use of Sollux physiotherapy

Physiotherapeutic procedures using the Sollux lamp have been deservedly popular for many years. The technique of this treatment is based on the use of visible infrared radiation. These rays, also called thermal rays, penetrate to a significant depth of the skin and are absorbed by tissues. This causes a slight increase in temperature at the site of light therapy, dilation of blood vessels, which increases both blood flow and lymph flow, and also helps in the fight against inflammation and is a pretty good pain-relieving method.

Most often, Sollux lamps with a power of 1,000, 700, 500, and 300 W are used for therapeutic purposes. At the same time, the lamp itself can be stationary or portable, which allows Sollux physiotherapy to be performed on bedridden patients, as well as at home.

The lamp must be installed according to the rules during the procedure. It should not be tilted over the patient. The device should be installed on the side of the person at a certain distance, which can range from 50 cm to one meter, depending on the indications for treatment and the recommendations of the attending physician. During the procedure, the rays should be directed only to a certain area of the human body, and the distance from the lamp to the skin will depend on the patient’s sensations.

The duration of the procedure depends on the diagnosis and can be minutes. The course is 15–20 procedures, but also depends on the diagnosis and how the person tolerates the procedure.

Indications

This treatment is used for the following indications:

Inflammatory diseases of the joints in the chronic stage.
Diseases of the female genital organs.
Liver diseases.
Diseases of the biliary tract.
Pleurisy.
Diseases of the urinary system.
Diseases of the paranasal sinuses, especially sinusitis.
Skin diseases.
Pathology of the peripheral nervous system.
Neuritis.
Plexites.
Neuralgia.
Radiculitis.
Lumbago.
Myositis.
Contractures.
Paresis and paralysis.

During treatment, Sollux physiotherapy helps get rid of chronic pain syndrome, increase the speed of blood flow in a certain area of the body, increases muscle activity, which means increases their range of movements, improves tissue nutrition with oxygen and other substances that come with the blood. And, of course, this procedure helps improve tissue regeneration, which helps reduce the time from the onset of the disease to complete recovery several times.

Contraindications

This treatment also has its contraindications. These include:

All neoplasms, both benign and malignant.
Bleeding of unknown etiology, as well as a tendency to it.
Heart diseases that are accompanied by circulatory failure.
Vascular atherosclerosis.
High blood pressure.
Tuberculosis.
Diseases of the central nervous system with impaired skin sensitivity.

Therefore, before starting treatment, you must consult your doctor.

Equipment care

Sollux medical lamps wear out over time, so the radiation intensity drops, and quite significantly. Such a lamp should definitely be changed, since it no longer has the desired therapeutic effect.

However, with proper use and care, the service life of the equipment can be extended several times. You need to know that the lamp begins to work worse when switched on and off frequently, which means that the work of the physiotherapy room should be adjusted so that patients come for treatment one after another, without any break. But constant switching on and off will only reduce the service life of the equipment.

The device should be protected from dust, since a dusty lamp transmits several times less light, which significantly reduces the therapeutic effect of the procedure. Every day the irradiator should be wiped with a soft cloth, and once a month - with a cotton pad soaked in an alcohol solution, and then wiped dry.

You should also remember that you should not touch the emitter with your fingers, as fingerprints, which will certainly remain, will become an obstacle to the path of the outgoing rays.

After the lamp has worked continuously for three hours, it should be turned off for half an hour and the room should be well ventilated. If the lamp is portable, it turns off every hour for 10–15 minutes.

Sollux lamp treatment and application method

A small (table) Sollux lamp (Fig. 238) is used mainly for heating small areas on the head. The patient sits on a chair and brings the area to be irradiated closer to the lamp.

Rice. 237. Local light bath tabletop model.

Rice. 238. Sollux lamp (for the shoulder and shoulder joint.).

The heat intensity is adjusted by removing or bringing the lamp closer to the patient.

A large Sollux lamp (Fig. 239) consists of a tripod, a rheostat and a reflector, the latter can rotate in different planes, which is extremely important, because it makes it possible to adapt the lamp to any part of the body in any position of the patient. The light source is a half-watt lamp; at 1000 watts. This lamp is designed to irradiate large areas of the body, but when attached to a tube reflector, it can be used to irradiate small areas.

The patient takes the procedure sitting or lying down for 10 to 25 minutes. Sessions daily or every other day, and in some cases twice a day.

Device "Sollux"

The Sollux device (from the Latin sol - “sun” and lux - “light”) is a light therapy device, which is an incandescent lamp placed in a reflector. Infrared radiation penetrates deeper into the body's tissues than other types of light energy, which causes heating of the entire thickness of the skin and partly the subcutaneous tissues.

The technique is based on the use of visible and infrared rays. Penetrating the entire depth of the skin and being absorbed by tissues, visible and infrared rays cause an increase in local temperature, reflex dilation of blood vessels, increased blood and lymph flow and metabolism, and promote the resorption of inflammatory foci and pain relief.

The Sollux lamp is a stationary lamp designed for general and local light-thermal procedures in physiotherapy rooms of medical institutions. For local irradiation, the lamp is installed on the side of the patient, at a distance of 50 cm - 1 m from him, and the rays are directed to the corresponding part of the body, inquiring about the patient’s thermal sensation. The duration of the procedure is minutes. To achieve an effective result, it is necessary to complete the entire course of treatment, which includes procedures.

Indications for use of the Sollux device:

chronic inflammatory processes of joints;
diseases of the female genital organs;
diseases of the liver and biliary tract;
pleural diseases;
urinary tract diseases;
diseases of the paranasal cavities;
diseases of the peripheral nervous system;
skin diseases.

Contraindications to the use of the Sollux device:

neoplasms;
tendency to bleed;
heart disease with circulatory failure;
severe atherosclerosis and hypertension;
tuberculosis;
diseases of the central nervous system with impaired sensitivity.

Sollux infrared lamp

Product description

The Sollux infrared lamp emits infrared rays that penetrate deep into the skin. As a result, the skin warms up, blood vessels dilate, and blood flow is stimulated. Blood brings with it substances for the restoration and nutrition of body tissues and removes substances formed during active muscular work faster. These properties make the Sollux lamp effective for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes.

Sollux lamp (lat. sol sun + lux light; syn. lamp-sollux) - a lamp with an incandescent lamp with a reflector;

The use of Sollux infrared lamp in light therapy

The technique is based on the use of visible and infrared rays. Visible and infrared rays (heat), penetrating the entire depth of the skin and being absorbed by tissues, cause an increase in local temperature, reflex dilation of blood vessels, increased blood and lymph flow and metabolism, promote the resorption of inflammatory foci and pain relief.

Application of Sollux lamp in cosmetology:

Before your heating session, remove all makeup from your face for optimal results. The Sollux lamp opens pores under the influence of infrared rays, improving the effect of the hydrating gel or replacing it.

Also, as a result of exposure to infrared rays, creams and masks penetrate deeper and are absorbed faster.

For local irradiation, the Sollux lamp is installed on the side of the patient (not above the patient) at a distance of 50 cm - 1 m from him and directs the rays to the corresponding part of the body, clarifying the patient’s sensations.

Duration from 15 to 30 minutes; course 10-15 procedures.

Contraindications to the use of the Sollux lamp: neoplasms, tendency to bleeding, heart disease with circulatory failure, severe atherosclerosis and hypertension, tuberculosis, diseases of the central nervous system with impaired sensitivity.

Sollux lamp

The Sollux lamp is usually used for local irradiation of various parts of the body. A tube shaped like a truncated cone attached to the reflector allows you to limit the irradiation surface.

To irradiate small areas, a small model of the Sollux lamp is used, in which the radiation source is an incandescent lamp with a power of 300 W.

Sollux lamp application

Sollux lamp Minin lamp. It is used for thermal effects on a limited surface of the body for muscle and neuralgic pain, otitis media, lymphadenitis, etc. This is a simple reflector mounted in a wooden handle. In the center of it is an ordinary electric light bulb with a power of 60-100 W. A wooden rim is reinforced along the outer edge of the reflector to prevent burns to the patient. For irradiation, this device often uses a blue-colored lamp. A blue filter transmits shorter rays, while a red filter allows longer ones. The reflector is installed at a distance of 10-15 cm from the inflammatory focus. School-age children can hold the reflector independently. Irradiation is carried out for 15-20 minutes 1-2 times a day.

Minin lamp (Blue lamp) Lamp of infrared rays. For light therapy, an infrared ray lamp with a metal spiral wound on a ceramic cone-shaped base and installed in the center of the reflector is also used. When an electric current passes through the coil, it heats up and emits a large amount of thermal red and infrared rays. This lamp is often used as a heater over the place where a weakened child is swaddled. For thermal procedures, a portable lamp with a reflector mounted on a tripod with a wide base is often used. The lamp is installed at a distance of 50-75 cm from the irradiated part of the body. The thermal procedure is carried out 1-2 times a day, its duration is 10-30 minutes.

Infrared ray lamp Local light baths. Used to warm large areas of the body. The light bath is a wooden box, on the inside of which there are 4-8-12 electric lamps with a power of 50-100 W. Nickel-plated plates mounted on the inner surface of the box serve as reflectors that reflect light from the lamp towards the diseased part of the body. The air under the bath hood can warm up to 80°. The bath is installed over the diseased part of the body and connected to the network. Then, several switches on the surface of the box turn on the light bulbs located on the inside. A blanket is placed on top of the bathtub. Session duration is from 10-15 to 20-30 minutes. The procedure is performed daily or every other day.
