Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about WoundBlaster
Getting Started
For treatment: 5-10 minutes per treatment area.
For prevention: 5-10 minutes on each foot, a few times a week.
For active wounds: Multiple times daily as directed by your healthcare provider.
For prevention: Daily or a few times a week to maintain circulation and sensation.
No! WoundBlaster is designed to work right through your clear bandage. The infrared light penetrates transparent dressings to reach the tissue beneath, keeping your wound protected while delivering therapy.
Use clear, transparent bandages such as:
- Tegaderm transparent dressings
- Clear hydrogel sheets
- Transparent film dressings
- Clear wound contact layers
Avoid: Gauze, foam dressings, or opaque bandages as they block the infrared light.
Treatment & Usage
WoundBlaster is effective for:
- Diabetic ulcers and foot wounds
- Grade 1-3 wounds
- Pressure sores (bedsores)
- Post-surgical incisions
- Chronic slow-healing wounds
- Venous ulcers
Always consult your healthcare provider about your specific wound type.
Yes! This is actually one of the most important uses. Clinical research shows WoundBlaster can prevent 80% of diabetic foot wounds from forming by improving circulation and restoring protective sensation.
If you have diabetic neuropathy (numbness in feet), regular preventive use can help protect you from developing wounds.
Most people notice improvements in days to weeks, though results vary by individual and wound type.
For prevention: Sensation improvement may be gradual over weeks of regular use.
For treatment: Visible wound healing typically begins within the first week of consistent use.
Place it directly on your clear bandage with flat contact. Light energy decreases rapidly with distance, so direct contact ensures maximum effectiveness.
