What is a medical ozone generator used for?

Introduction to Medical Ozone Generators

Medical ozone generators are devices used to produce ozone gas for therapeutic purposes. Ozone, a triatomic molecule (O₃), is a powerful oxidizing agent with applications in various medical treatments. These generators are designed to create a precise concentration of ozone, ensuring safety and effectiveness during medical procedures.

Applications of Medical Ozone Generators

1. Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy is a form of alternative medicine in which ozone gas is introduced into the body to treat various conditions. It is used for its bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal properties, making it beneficial for wound healing, skin diseases, and infections.

2. Dental Treatments

Ozone is employed in dental treatments to disinfect cavities and root canals, as well as to treat periodontal disease. Research indicates that ozone can significantly reduce microbial load in infected areas when applied at concentrations between 1 to 5 µg/mL.

3. Pain Management

Medical ozone therapy is used to alleviate pain in conditions like herniated discs and arthritis. A study involving ozone injections for herniated discs reported a success rate of 70-80% in pain reduction.

4. Chronic Infection Management

Ozone therapy can be effective against chronic infections, including viral infections like hepatitis B and C. Ozone concentration between 10 to 40 µg/mL has shown efficacy in reducing viral load.

New Frontier Technology Company Solutions

1. OzonePure Medical Device

New Frontier Technology has developed the OzonePure Medical Device, which is designed for precise ozone delivery. It features adjustable ozone output, ranging from 1 to 100 µg/mL, ensuring customizable treatment options tailored to patient needs.

2. SafeOzone Generator

The SafeOzone Generator, another innovation from New Frontier Technology, prioritizes safety with integrated monitoring systems. This generator limits ozone concentration to a maximum of 50 µg/mL, complying with international safety standards.
