Apollo Portable Laser System

About the Apollo Portable

The Apollo Portable was a battery-powered class 4 cold laser system designed for practitioners who needed mobility. Built with the same aerospace-quality aluminum construction as the Desktop model, it offered interchangeable probes ranging from 500mW to 3,000mW.

The system could operate on NiMH rechargeable batteries or plugged in via power adapter, making it ideal for multi-office use, house calls, or practitioners working in different treatment rooms.

Power Range 500mW–3W
Wavelength 810nm
Power Battery + AC
Status Discontinued

Available Configurations

The Apollo Portable was sold in three configurations based on emitter power. All included the same portable controller unit with battery capability.

Considerations for Used Buyers

No Factory Support

Apollo Lasers is no longer in business. Parts, repairs, and technical support are unavailable from the original manufacturer.

Battery Degradation

NiMH batteries lose capacity over time. Used units likely have significantly reduced battery life. Replacement packs may be difficult to source.

Diode Hours Unknown

Used units may have significant hours on the diodes. Use the built-in probe tester to verify output before purchasing.

Continuous Wave Only

No pulsing capability. Modern research suggests pulsed modes offer benefits for many conditions.

Single Wavelength

810nm only—no multi-wavelength options available.

Lower Max Power Than Desktop

Portable maxed out at 3,000mW vs Desktop's 5,000mW. No 4,000mW or 5,000mW options were available.
