  • FAR-INFRARED RADIATION IN USE OF IMPROVING PATENCY OF ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA, DECREASING FAILURE OF ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA MATURATION, AND PREVENTING AND/OR AMELIORATING PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASES
    Publication number: 20120283802
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel use of far-infrared radiation for improving patency of arteriovenous fistula, decreasing failure of arteriovenous fistula maturation and preventing and/or ameliorating peripheral artery diseases in a subject in need thereof. The radiation has an electromagnetic wave of about 1.5 to 100 ?m wavelength, which performs on the subject skin surface for more than 10 minutes.

  • Infrared ray generator
    Patent number: 7511291
    Abstract: An IR generator comprises a base body, an electro-thermal body and an IR emitting body. The electro-thermal body is located on the base body and generates heat when electric power is supplied. The IR emitting body is located on the electro-thermal body and emits IR when absorbing the heat. The IR emitting body comprises an IR coating. The composition of the IR coating comprises graphite and carbon black. The ratio between the graphite and the carbon black is about 1:1-1:2.

  • Method for preventing and/or ameliorating inflammation
    Publication number: 20080172105
    Abstract: A method for preventing and/or ameliorating inflammation. The method comprises irradiating a biological subject with an electromagnetic wave from an emitter, wherein the electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of about 1.5 to 100 ?m ?m, and the biological subject can be a peripheral vascular disease patient. Additionally, the method of the invention can improve the access blood flow and unassisted patency of arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients.

  • FAR INFRARED PHYSIATRIC UNIT
    Publication number: 20060173513
    Abstract: A far infrared physiatric unit has a frame, an emitter and two adjustment knobs. The frame has two side boards and a supporting unit. The supporting unit is mounted between the side boards. The emitter is pivotally mounted between the side boards in the frame. A patient places his/her arm or foot on the supporting unit, and the emitter is adjusted to any position and angle to correspond to any position on the patient. The patient can be in a comfortable position during the far infrared treatment.
