Medical equipment using light in the conventional medical system has been applied to the fine incision of the tissue and surgical instruments using the heat generation action of the laser. This has the advantage of causing less fear in the non-contact subjects, but due to the principle of technology, high energy is irradiated to the local position, and deformation and hardening of the tissue proceeds to cause side effects, and expensive large-scaled devices are required due to the characteristics of the device. There were disadvantages such as the need for attention by the city experts.

Later, medical devices using light have been widely developed, and medical devices have been proposed to heal wounds of the body with biostimulating effects through low-power light irradiation. The biostimulation effect through the low power light irradiation is that when the light is irradiated to cells or tissues, the energy level of specific elements is increased and the cells or tissue units are activated to generate physiological results such as promoting cell division, promoting tissue regeneration, and promoting tissue metabolism. It has anti-inflammatory effects, pain reduction, and cell growth.

According to the prior art, a low power laser diode (LD) is applied to a medical device that generates the biological stimulation effect by light irradiation as described above. The laser diode LD may penetrate deep into the body due to the characteristics of the laser light, and the predetermined wavelength generated from the laser diode LD may stimulate the affected tissue intensively, thereby obtaining an immediate effect.

However, when applying the laser diode (LD) to intensively stimulate the affected tissue as described above, there was a problem that tissue damage due to severe stimulation is rather concerned.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and the LED (Light Emitting Diode) for generating a predetermined wavelength when treating the affected part of the patient in the medical equipment for treating the patient using the biological stimulation effect It is an object of the present invention to realize a safe biological stimulation effect to reduce the risk of tissue damage by providing a medical light irradiation device applied.

In addition, the LED is another object of being able to selectively adjust the wavelength range according to the symptoms of the patient.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a medical light irradiation apparatus for treating a patient by using a biological stimulation effect by the wavelength, the rectification of the AC power in a configuration including a constant voltage unit to provide a stable DC voltage to the LED and each circuit unit Including the power supply unit to supply, the operation control unit for controlling the wavelength range of the LED according to the symptoms of the patient, including the wavelength range selection unit, and a plurality of LED (Light Emitting Diode) for generating a predetermined wavelength at a predetermined interval It characterized in that it comprises a light source unit for irradiating a light source to the human body.
