Since ancient times, it is believed that sunlight can prevent the spread of infections. In 1877, it was found that the growth of microorganisms stops from part of the solar radiation spectrum , with a wave below 320 nm.
Thanks to further scientific developments, it was possible to create artificial radiation sources capable of destroying bacteria and disinfecting air and surfaces of solid materials, without using chemical disinfectants and high temperatures.
The spectrum of ultraviolet rays (UV) is divided into three groups:
- Long waves (UV-A) 315 400 nm.
- Medium waves (UV - B) 280 315 nm.
- Short waves (UV - C) shorter than 280 nm.
Modern quartz irradiators are divided into several types: wall, mobile, ceiling, indoor and outdoor.
An ultraviolet bactericidal irradiator (quartz lamp) is designed to destroy microorganisms in the air and on various surfaces, it is an effective method for the prevention and control of pathogens of various infections.
Of particular note is the combined quartz lamp, which allows irradiation of surfaces and air with an open lamp. In that
In case you need to remember that during the operation of such a lamp there should be no people in the room. If diffuse radiation is used with a shielded (closed) lamp, then the presence of people is permissible.
Today, quartz lamp has been widely used in medicine for the treatment of various diseases. However, before starting the procedure, it is necessary to consult the attending physician about contraindications and the selection of the necessary dosage.
Positive results can be achieved only in the case of strict compliance with the instructions of the attending physician. All people respond to treatment individually, so there are no general rules for quartz treatment.
The basic rule for using a UV lamp is to wear safety glasses, which are usually included in the kit. Body areas not subject to irradiation are covered with a towel. The procedure can be started five minutes after the lamp is turned on - during this time its stable mode of operation is established.
A quartz lamp should be located at a distance of fifty centimeters from the irradiated area. Lubricate the skin with oil or sunscreen before exposure. Begin the procedure with 0.5 minutes, gradually increasing the time with each
subsequent exposure for 0.5 - 1 minute.
Currently, medical equipment stores offer a huge selection of ultraviolet irradiators. Let me introduce you - a quartz lamp for home use - "Sun." This device is both bactericidal and therapeutic.
The quartz lamp "Sun", reviews of which can be viewed on the Internet, was created for hardening and healing children and adults. This model compensates for the lack of sunlight for the body. It is used in the treatment and prevention of diseases such as flu, runny nose. In addition, it can easily cope with bacteria and viruses in any room.
Quartz lamp for home use "Sun" is especially suitable for processing the room in which the newborn baby is.
