MedX Phototherapy: The Canadian Advantage
For practitioners in Canada, regulatory compliance isn't optional—it's essential. MedX stands apart as one of the few Class 3B therapeutic lasers that carries both FDA clearance and Health Canada licensing. This dual approval means you can legally use MedX in clinical settings across North America without regulatory concerns.
Manufactured in Mississauga, Ontario at an ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003 certified facility, MedX systems represent Canadian precision engineering at an accessible price point. While many competitors charge premium prices for similar regulatory standing, MedX delivers professional-grade therapy at one of the lowest costs in the Class 3B category.
Dual Regulatory Approval
Class 3B medical device license. Legal for clinical use in Canadian healthcare facilities. One of the few cold lasers with this approval.
510(k) cleared for temporary increase in micro-circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness.
The 810nm Wavelength
The 810nm wavelength sits in the "optical window" where light penetrates tissue most effectively. It's absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria, stimulating ATP production and cellular metabolism. This is the gold standard wavelength for deep tissue photobiomodulation.
810nm reaches 3-5cm into tissue, accessing joints, deep muscles, and nerve structures.
Directly stimulates mitochondrial function, increasing cellular energy for healing.
One of the most studied wavelengths in photobiomodulation literature.
Understanding SLD Technology
The MedX Console system includes Superluminous Diode (SLD) cluster pads—not to be confused with standard LEDs. SLDs produce coherent-like light with narrow spectral bandwidth, delivering more focused therapeutic energy than broad-spectrum LEDs while remaining safer than direct laser contact for large-area treatment.
Laser
Coherent, focused beam. High power density. Best for targeted treatment points.
SLD (Superluminous Diode)
Near-coherent, narrow bandwidth. Moderate power density. Ideal for larger treatment areas.
LED
Incoherent, broad spectrum. Lower power density. General wellness applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
MedX Portable ($2,495) is a standalone handheld laser—ideal for targeted treatment, mobile practitioners, or as an entry point into phototherapy.
MedX Console ($4,995) is a complete clinical system including the handheld laser PLUS two SLD cluster pads and a desktop controller with three accessory ports. This allows simultaneous multi-site treatment and built-in protocol guidance.
Yes! MedX is one of the few Class 3B laser systems with Health Canada licensing. This makes it legal for use in Canadian healthcare settings including chiropractic offices, physiotherapy clinics, and medical practices. Many imported lasers lack this approval and cannot be legally used in Canada for patient treatment.
SLD (Superluminous Diodes) produce near-coherent light with a narrow spectral bandwidth, delivering more concentrated therapeutic energy. They bridge the gap between lasers and LEDs.
LED (Light Emitting Diodes) produce incoherent light with broader bandwidth. While useful for general wellness, they deliver less concentrated energy per unit area.
The MedX Console uses SLD technology—not standard LEDs—for its cluster pads, providing more effective large-area treatment.
MedX delivers the core therapeutic benefits of Class 3B phototherapy—810nm wavelength, adequate power, regulatory compliance—at a fraction of the cost of premium systems. What you don't get: advanced software features, interchangeable heads, extensive preset libraries, or higher power outputs. For practitioners who want solid, proven therapy without bells and whistles, MedX is an excellent value. For advanced protocol options and higher power, consider our Avant or ReGen lines.
Per FDA clearance, MedX is indicated for: temporary increase in micro-circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness, relaxation of muscles, relief of muscle spasms, and minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.
Commonly treated conditions include back pain, neck pain, arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Yes. Unlike electrical modalities, phototherapy does not interfere with pacemakers or joint implants. Patients with contraindications for ultrasound, TENS, or other electrotherapies can safely receive MedX treatment. This expands your treatable patient population significantly.
