• Enhanced blood circulation to relieve muscular pain
• Concentrated heat is applied where it is needed

Optimum heating economy and efficiency

Philips infra-red lamps provide an excellent solution for localised heat treatment which provides relief from muscular pain. They can are also used to treat ailments like lumbago, neuralgia and myalgia, and colds. This form of heat therapy is also shown to speed the healing of different kinds of injuries, including sports injuries and non-infected wounds, and in many cases provides rapid and effective pain relief. Also for pre- and past natal treatment to ease birth and for rapid reduction of stretch marks.

The benefits of this form of heat therapy are based on a dialation of arteries response in the skin which locally enhances the blood circulation. This results in an increased blood flow and transport of oxygen, nutrients and other essential biochemical compounds. Benefits are also gained by deeper penetration of heat which provides a gentle and pleasant warming effect.

Why the infra-red heat of the Philips health lamp is much more effective than, say a hot water bottle, is because of its penetrating nature. The infra-red penetrates the outer dead layer of the skin to where the blood and lymphatic wessels are. Whereas, by the time the heat form a hot towel or water bottle etc has reached the depth of penetration required, the heat has become very uncomfortable and painful. The infra-red heat is also very relaxing. Thus, marseuse and physiotherapists use these lamps to relax and loosen up the muscles before treatment.

The Philips infra-red heating lamps have a wavelength spectrum with a pronounced peak at approximately 1000 nm in the deep-penetrating IR-A range. This radiation characteristic makes them ideal radiant heat sources for treating deeper-seated muscular ailments and sports injuries.

The penetration depth in the IR-A Region is optimal and becomes very low in the IR-B and IR-C. IR-C is already absorbed in the horny layer.

The red filter also cuts off light below 600 nm to reduce radiation which would be absorbed by the blood haemoglobin (prevention of haemolysis). All types of infra-red lamps have a 300 hour lifetime at 100% output.

All types have a universal burning position.
