Quartz lamp and its application

Since ancient times, it is believed that sunlight can prevent the multiplication 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.
• The average wave (UV - B) is 280 315 nm.
• Short waves (UV - C) are shorter than 280 nm.

Modern quartz irradiators are divided into several types: wall, mobile, ceiling, closed and open type.

Ultraviolet bactericidal irradiator (quartz lamp) is intended for the destruction of microorganisms in the air and on various surfaces, is an effective method of prevention and control of pathogens of various infections.

Special attention should be paid to the combined quartz lamp, which allows irradiation of surfaces and air with the help of an open lamp. In that Case it must be remembered that during the operation of such a lamp people in the room should not be. If diffuse irradiation is used with a shielded (closed) lamp, then the presence of people is acceptable.

Today, the quartz lamp has been widely used in medicine for the treatment of various diseases. However, before starting the procedure, consultation of the attending physician with regard to contraindications and selection of the necessary dosage is necessary.

Positive results can be achieved only if the prescribing of the attending physician is strictly observed. All people react to treatment individually, so there is no general rule for quartz treatment.

The main rule of using a UV lamp is the need to wear protective goggles, which are usually included in the kit. Areas of the body that can not be irradiated 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.

The quartz lamp should be located at a distance of fifty centimeters from the irradiated site. Before irradiation, lubricate the skin with oil or sunscreen. Start the procedure from 0.5 minutes, gradually increasing the time at each Then irradiation for 0.5-1 minute.

Currently, medical stores offer a huge selection of ultraviolet irradiators. Let me introduce you - a quartz lamp for home use - "Sunny". This apparatus is both bactericidal and therapeutic.

Quartz lamp "Sun", reviews of which can be viewed on the Internet, was created for tempering and improving 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 influenza, runny nose. In addition, it will 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 located.
