Passive Therapy in Your Practice
Effortless adjustment by staff, who only serve a supervisory function.
No warm-up time necessary
The warmth of the b-intense® infrared heaters is immediately and noticeably perceptible.
Soothing Warmth
Developed with decades of expertise, the proprietary and patented b-intense® infrared heater warms the patient’s body with the full spectrum of infrared radiation (Infrared-A, Infrared-B, and Infrared-C), leading to both local and systemic heating of the body.
Deep heating of the body helps with
Through local, contact-free infrared heat application, muscle tension is released and pain is reduced.
b-intense® MED Infrared provides a heat application for patients that can be performed with minimal effort. Setup by staff is straightforward, and no additional technical equipment is required.

Increased Circulation through gentle deep heating
The use of a medical infrared cabin is a form of treatment that can achieve deep heating of patients easily and with little effort.
A gentle increase in core body temperature through b-intense® infrared radiation leads to a redistribution of blood flow, an increase in sweat production, and an improvement of circulation throughout the body.
Developed and manufactured in Austria
The b-intense® MED Infrared cabin consists of a cabin enclosure, infrared back and front heaters, and accessories (speakers, ambient lighting), and is intended for local, contact-free heat application.
The b-intense® MED Infrared is versatile and can be used in various areas, from medical practices or rehab clinics to senior residences and sports massage therapists.”

Medical Mode of Action
Infrared radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The use of electromagnetic radiation for heat application is widely established. Infrared rays are absorbed by the uppermost layers of the skin and converted into heat. Consequently, infrared exposure is perceived as warmth. Due to the thermal load on the skin, the body responds with heat defense reactions that are triggered in stages.
The physiological response to heat depends on the tissue temperature, the duration and extent of the heat application, the ambient temperature, and the size of the irradiated area. The human organism is capable of keeping its core body temperature relatively constant, largely independent of fluctuations in the ambient temperature
This is thanks to an efficient thermoregulation system, which acts as a negative feedback loop to counteract any deviations of the actual temperature value by more than ± 0.1% from the setpoint.
When the core body temperature rises, there is an increase in skin blood flow and sweat secretion. The dilation of the vessels allows more blood to travel from the body core to the skin surface; the blood cools the skin and dissipates the heat. Deeper layers of the skin are not heated directly by the infrared radiation, but rather through thermal conduction. Sweat production leads to cooling through subsequent evaporation on the skin surface and is thus a vital thermoregulatory mechanism.
Furthermore, sweat also contributes to the optimal hydration of the skin.
