Patent ID: 8784462

Claim:
A therapeutic laser device (laser device) comprising: a plurality of semiconductor laser diodes arranged in a two dimensional array bonded to a first flexible membrane ( 10 ) with bonded flat braided and/or non-braided electrical conductors, each semiconductor laser diode positioned for emitting coherent electromagnetic radiation in the range of 380 nm to 1,400 nm in a direction perpendicular to the first flexible membrane ( 10 ); a second flexible, non-stretchable membrane ( 9 ) attached to the first flexible membrane ( 10 ), on the side opposite to that of the plurality of semiconductor laser diodes, by a plurality of standoff posts penetrating both membranes and affecting a union between the first flexible membrane ( 10 ) and the second flexible, non-stretchable membrane ( 9 ), wherein the plurality of standoff posts are configured to contact a treatment area and thereby provide a predetermined distance between the treatment area and the plurality of semiconductor laser diodes; a first narrow, stretchable, flexible closed cell membrane ( 11 ); one or more high pressure fans with speed control and air filters; a second stretchable, flexible closed cell membrane; one or more capacitive proximity sensors which detect an increase of capacitance when in close contact with a patient's treatment area; one or more infrared radiation sensors which detect infrared radiation from ambient light and infrared radiation from the patient's treatment area; one or more temperature sensors which detect the temperature of the plurality of semiconductor laser diodes; a plurality of cooling air tubes and spacers each associated with one of the plurality of semiconductor laser diodes; a plurality of automatic power control circuit electronic modules each associated with one of the plurality of semiconductor laser diodes.
