Far-Infrared Therapy Helps Wounds Heal Faster

The devices are portable, requires no power source, and can be worn 24/7, as no heat is generated. Current products include shoulder, knee, wrist, and abdomen/back devices.

CERArecovery devices activate healing at the cellular level by increasing circulation and formation of new capillaries; increasing phagocytosis and lymph system activity; stimulating the production of fibroblasts and tissue granulation; stimulating the production of collagen; and encouraging release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), allowing both damaged and surrounding cells heal themselves. The hypoallergenic silicone rubber device does not support bacterial growth, is non-reactive, and is not impacted by disinfectants or sterilization chemicals.

“The use of far infrared technology has been around for a long time, namely, to maximize industrial fuel efficiency and cleanliness for tractor trailers, locomotives, and heavy machinery,” stated the company. “However, Gladiator Therapeutics has leveraged that technology in a completely different and truly revolutionary way to create a far infrared product that can be used by almost any adult, right in the home, to help alleviate pain and other common ailments.”

Far infrared is a region in the IR wavelength spectrum at 15–1000 μm with a frequency range of 20 – 0.3 THz, and photon energy range of 83 – 1.2 meV. In these IR radiation bands, an energy is emitted that can be perceived by thermoreceptors in human skin as radiant heat, penetrating almost four centimeters beneath the skin. fIR-emitting ceramics embedded in various materials or woven into the fabric of garments can thus reduce fatigue induced by muscle contractions and encourage wound healing.
