The above inventions use the heating power caused by the extra energy exerted by the laser beam on a single point for medicinal purposes. The purpose of the invention is to eliminate the shortfalls of known solutions and to implement a device that supports the healing of damaged tissues by emitting laser light and negatively charged ions.
The inventive step is based on the recognition that an invention, which is more advantageous than the previous ones, can be achieved if the device is implemented according to claim 1.
In line with the above objective, the most general implementation form of the invention can be implemented according to claim 1. The most general form of the application procedure is described in the main procedural claim. The various implementation forms are described in the sub-claims.
The solution in general is a manual laser device suitably to support the healing of damaged tissues, which is fitted with laser beam source, crystal, control unit, and beam slot that is suitable for letting out the beam generated by the laser beam source.
A distinctive feature of the invention is that it includes a generating coil, an insulating layer, an ozone generating unit containing a negative and a positive electrode, so that the crystal has a beam slot, the control unit is connected to the laser beam source and the generating coil, and the ozone generating unit is surrounded by the insulating layer.

Another distinctive feature may be that the control unit is also connected to the ozone generating unit.
Another distinctive feature may be that there is an opening on the insulating layer that is suitable to let the beam through.
In another implementation form, there is a beam slot on the side opposite to the laser beam source, and the beam slot is aligned with the opening.
In another implementation form, there is a beam slot on the side opposite to the laser beam source, and the beam slot is implemented in line with the bore of the crystal.
The invention is presented in more detail with implementation examples and drawings.
On the attached drawings,
Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the device, and
Figure 2 shows the arrangement plan of another implementation of the device.
Figure 1 shows the components and schematic diagram the device. During the operation of the device, the beam 4, as well as negatively charged ions therein, are beamed onto the damaged body surface, so that the healing process can be supported and accelerated. During the operation of the device, negatively charged ions and a small volume of ozone is generated. The low power laser beam source 1 is the source of the beam 4, it may be - among others - a LED source. The beam 4 passes through the bore 3 of the crystal 2, and it reaches the damaged tissue to be treated. The ion cloud is limited by the insulating layer 6, which is suitably made of some kind of insulating material, such as plastic, and typically has a shape that is similar to a paraboloid or hemisphere. The crystal 2 is located in an electromagnetic field, and generates and maintains a stable and periodic electromagnetic vibration using the energy, so that charged electrons are generated by the interaction occurring in its structure, so that negatively charged ions can be separated. In other words, the crystal 2 works as an oscillator. The generating coil 5 is located next to the crystal 2. The force lines of the electromagnetic field are focused in the middle of the generating coil 5, so that the particles remain in the middle. The control unit 8 is connected to the generating coil 5 and the laser beam source 1, and it has power supply and regulation functions. The task of the control unit 8 is to operate and supply with power all components of the device. The control unit 8 also regulates the voltage level of the ozone generating unit 11 and the current in the generating coil 5. The discharges taking place between the negative electrode 9 and the positive electrode 10 in the ozone generating unit 11 generate ozone. The distance between the negative electrode 9 and the positive electrode 10 is approximately 1 mm. The high direct voltage connected to the negative electrode 9 and the positive electrode 10 causes corona ionization (circular arc discharge), and the laser beam passes through this corona, so that it can collect the ozone particles. The voltage of the ozone generating unit 11 (which is regulated by the control unit 8) determines the volume of ozone. Thus, the ozone generating unit 11 includes the negative electrode 9 and the positive electrode 10. As shown on the drawing, the negative electrode 9 suitably includes a metal cone-shaped pipe and a typically parabola shaped electrode that is in metallic connection with the pipe. The positive electrode 10 includes a metal pipe and a dish shaped electrode, which are in metallic connection with each other. The negative ions are generated by the high direct voltage between the negative electrode 9 and the positive electrode 10 when the corona ionization is created. The particle generating unit 12 comprises the negative electrode 9, the positive electrode 10, and the crystal 2. The task of the particle generating unit 12 is to provide the photons and ensure the continuity of the beam 4, providing a transmission medium to the tissues. As a result of this, the device transmits the particles to the target area and the targeted tissue in a targeted manner, like an injection needle. The focus field 13 comprises the generating coil 5 and the crystal 2. The focus field 13 is a modulated electromagnetic focus field, and its task is to control and focus the movement of the generated and freely moving electrons. It prevents the electrons from scattering. The beam 4 passes through the bore 3 of the crystal 2, then through the ozone generating unit 11 and the ion cloud, and then the insulating layer 6 around them, and finally leaves the device through the beam slot 7a. The beam slot 7a is suitably the end of a metal pipe. When the beam 4 reaches the tissue to be treated, the negative ions transported by the beam 4 facilitate the oxygen uptake of the cells, stimulate the metabolism of the cells, thereby accelerating the healing of injuries. At the tissue, the ozone binds and blocks the extra positive ions of the damaged tissue, thereby blocking the metabolism of bacteria and viruses, or oxidizing their cell wall, eventually leading to their demise. Subsequently, the regeneration process can be started. The beam 4 may be red (wave length between 625 and 740), green (wave length between 500 and 565), and blue (wave length between 440 and 485). The shorter the wave length, the deeper it reaches into the tissue, even possibly as deep as 2 to 8 cells. The device uses beams in the mWatt range, so that they do not cause any heating or damage in the tissues. An opening 14a is located on the insulating layer 6, which is aligned with the beam slot 7a.
The structure of the implementation form shown on Figure 2 is different from the example show on Figure 1 in that the beam 4 passes through the units in a different order. The beam 4 starts from the laser beam source 1, it passes through the opening 14b of the insulating layer 6, the ion cloud, the ozone generating unit 11, and the bore 3 of the crystal 2, and then it leaves the device through the beam slot 7b. The device has a laser beam source 1, a connected control unit 8, an insulating layer 6, a crystal 2, a bore 3 in the crystal 2, a generating coil 5, a beam slot 7b, and an ozone generating unit 11. The ozone generating unit 11 includes a negative electrode 9 and a positive electrode 10. The negative electrode 9, the positive electrode 10, and the crystal 2 comprise the particle generating unit 12, and the crystal 2 and the generating coil 5 comprise the focus field 13. There is an opening 14b on the insulating layer 6, which is aligned with the laser beam source 1. The opening 14b is suitable to let the beam 4 through.
During the application of the invention, ions with a negative charge are transposed onto the low energy beam 4 according to the desired objective, and they are channeled through the crystal 2 to the damaged tissue. The movement of photons and ions is ensured by the beam 4 produced by the laser beam source 1. In the device, the beam 4 produced by the laser beam source 1 is channeled to the beam slot 7a or 7b, and in the meantime, it passes through the ozone generating unit 11, the opening 14a or 14b of the insulating layer 6, and the bore 3 of the crystal 2. The negative ions transported by the beam 4 onto the tissue to be treated stimulate the oxygen uptake and metabolism of the cells, thereby accelerating the healing of injuries. At the level of the tissue, the ozone binds and blocks the extra positive ions of the damaged tissue. This way, it stops the metabolism or oxidizes the cell wall of bacteria and viruses, thereby killing them. The presented device has numerous advantages. An advantage of the invention is that it provides negatively charged ions to the damaged area, thereby stimulating the oxygen uptake and metabolism of the cells, thereby accelerating the healing of injuries.

It is also easy to use at sensitive and small areas. It is also advantageous it can be used for wounds, ulcers, herpes, and sensitive body areas, as well as acupuncture therapies, meaning that it can be used on various medical fields. It is also an advantage that the healing process is supported without the use of chemicals, and the device can be used in a sterile environment as well. The device also has numerous economic advantages. It accelerates the recuperation of employees, thereby shortening the period with sick pay. This results in savings both on the side of the patient and the government. The device can shorten the time needed for healing, which makes it efficient from an economic perspective as well, since it reduces the necessary quantity of medicines and therapeutic equipment. It can be used in various healthcare institutions, for in-patients and outpatients, in specialized and private healthcare clinics and health centres, as well as at home under controlled circumstances. The use of the device on living tissues offers endless opportunities. Ozone is generated during use, and it has various advantages. A main feature of ozone is that it is one of the strongest oxidant and disinfectant. Ozone also neutralizes any microorganism it comes into contact with, such as bacteria, viruses, mould, and fungi. This can prevent infection and stimulate the healing process, and it can also reduce the risk of post- surgery complications. It stimulates the regeneration of the body, thereby shortening the time required for the healing of injuries. Ozone is the most reactive molecular oxygen, and it is an efficient oxidant. The production of negative ions is also advantageous, since they are known to bind and remove pollutants from the air, and they also have a regenerating impact on the respiratory and nervous systems. They have been also known for over a hundred years to reduce tension, energize, reduce blood pressure, stimulate positive psychological mood and concentration, improve the oxygen uptake of cells, and stimulate the metabolism of cells. Thus, they have an important role in the acceleration of the healing process. The laser itself has a number of commonly known benefits as well. The soft laser used in the device is known to reduce inflammation, stimulate regeneration, reduce pain, and facilitate wound healing and skin generation without any side effect. Another advantage of the laser is that the photons of the laser beam have the same wave length, the waves vibrate with the same phase, and the laser beam in general is well polarized, meaning that its direction is accurately determined and is easy to control. Soft lasers are applied on various fields because of their proven ability to stimulate healing and biological processes without any side effect. They do not cause allergy, radiation or electric load, heating, and they do not damage the tissues. They trigger the self- healing processes of the body. Laser light has been applied successfully against alopecia, acne, and herpes as well. Several experiments and examinations has proven that soft laser has a positive impact on, activates, and strengthens the immune system. Since the immune system plays a role in the improvement of various wounds, particularly of wounds that are hard to heal, this effect also has an indirect impact on the healing of wounds as well. Due to the laser, among other factors, this device can be used for an extensive range of purposes. Another advantageous impact on the body is that it improves micro-circulation, regulates the permeability of vein walls, and has a beneficial impact on deformations of the vascular system. It can also be applied successfully for cosmetic purposes, as it improves the flexibility of the skin and eliminates age spots. An important advantage of the device is that treatments with the device are absolutely painless. It can be successfully applied to treat infected wounds and painful areas, since the treatment is contactless. Another important advantage is that the treatment can be performed at any location, it is not restricted to any specific room, hospital, or healthcare facility. Another advantage is that treatments with the device can be applied in combination with other therapeutic treatments, can be repeated frequently, and show signs of improvement within a short period of time. The maintenance and operating costs of the invention are low, and it has a long useful life.
The device is to be applied to treat and support the healing and regeneration of damaged areas, including, among others, skin injuries, epidermal damages, bruises, wounds, ulcers, and herpes. It can be applied of various medicinal fields (dermatology, stomatoplasty, vascular surgery, urology, neurology, surgery, otolaryngology, gynaecology) and cosmetics. The manual laser device according to the invention can be also used to accelerate recovery after surgery and to facilitate the healing process of bruises, strains, rupture of ligaments, muscles, or tendons, fractures, periostitis, tendovaginitis, muscle pain, or disc thinning. In addition to the above examples, the invention may be implemented in other forms within the scope of protection.
