So one of the interesting things about this laser light technology is it doesn't just treat the surface of the skin like we talked about. With the wavelength of the laser, it actually can pass through your skin and down into the tissues of the affected joint. It can penetrate to a depth of up to like 6-10 cm, depending on how we set the laser. And so we can get all different functions on different types of joints. So we have settings for chronic inflammation and pain, we have settings for acute inflammation and pain, we have settings for acute or injury, we have settings for post operative treatments. So there's a lot of versatility in this equipment.
