Pain Therapy
• Topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for a temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, minor arthritis pain, or muscle spasm, minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain; the temporary

The Epic 980 diode laser is a surgical and therapeutic device designated for a wide variety of oral soft-tissue procedures and dental whitening as well as for use in providing a temporary relief of minor pain. The device uses a solid-state laser diode to emit infrared laser energy which is transmitted via a flexible fiber optic cable to a handpiece that emits the energy to the treatment site. The laser is comprised of a base console, a wireless footswitch which activates the laser and a detachable delivery system consisting of a fiber optic cable, surgical handpiece and single-use disposable tips designed and optimized for different applications.
