Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Purpose of the work: Analyze of using the visible polychromatic polarized light in the comprehensive process of healing bedsores at elderly people with the limited motor activity.
Material and methods: Participants receive interventions as part of routine medical care, and a researcher studies the effect of the intervention. The study was conducted in people over 65 years old, with bedsores grade III and IV in Torrance scale. The therapy included radiation of bedsores with VIP light. Effectiveness of the method of treatment was examined using photographic images and to measure the extent of the wound.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Study group
All bedsores were irradiated with a Bioptron lamp. Photo and measurement of bedsores size and Torrance score, were made: on the first, 9,18 and 36 day of therapy.
Irradiated VIP (Visible Incoherent Polarized)
20 irradiations were performed twice a day. The exposure time was 10 minutes. Exposure was made at a distance of 10 cm.
