It was the funds raised during the pink ribbon running on October 3 that allowed the Gynecology Obstetrics Department of the Parent-Child Center of the University Hospital of Guadeloupe to acquire such a device. It makes it possible, through photobiomodulation technology, to improve wound healing, particularly during postoperative surgery. A notable advance for the University Hospital which can make available to its patients a technique whose cost is higher in the private sector.

First of all, you should know that photobiomodulation is considered today as a valuable asset in oncology. Low energy Laser/LED therapy, it is used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. An innovative, non-invasive and non-painful technique that promotes tolerance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments.
To fully understand this technical advance now offered by the Guadeloupe University Hospital to its patients, you must understand what photobiomodulation is. The Wikipedia site defines it as follows:
Photobiomodulation (sometimes called low energy laser therapy (LLLT)) is the process by which chromophores selectively absorb low energy wavelengths and generate cellular signaling phenomena at the origin of major biological syntheses. Photobiomodulation (PBM) has an action on the cellular metabolism of our tissues comparable to the photosynthesis of plant cells. Light energy is transferred to the different organs of our cells to stimulate metabolic functions which produce several remarkable clinical effects such as analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects or healing effects. Thanks to its stimulating properties confirmed over the last three decades by numerous studies, PBM has today spread to many areas of medicine, such as endocrinology, neurosurgery, dermatology and dentistry in particular. This type of phototherapy includes a wide range of non-ionizing light sources such as laser, LED, and broadband visible light in the visible and near-infrared spectrum at non-thermal doses.

Originally, Thephotobiomodulationis a technique tested and approved by NASA astronauts : used to compensate for problems linked to the absence of gravity, thephoton emission turned out to be a realcell regeneration booster.

In fact, it is precisely LED phototherapy that is used in the Gynecology-Obstetrics Department of the Parents-Child Center of the University Hospital. Installed last February, the device has already made it possible to treat more than fifty patients. Patients who often have to complete between 8 and 10 sessions. It should also be added that at present, no side effects have been recorded after the use of thisthis method. It has, in any case, given proven clinical results in indications that have not benefited from any other therapeutic alternative.

€38,000 collected by Lion’s Club operations, notably thanks to the Pink Ribbon strides. The device was offered in February by a supplier who would have picked it up if the service had not been able to finance it.

For your information, you should know that this technology has long been offered by private practices in Guadeloupe. However, each session costs €50 for patients who use it.
Thanks to this acquisition from the University Hospital, photobiomodulation can now be offered to all patients.
