Diode Laser Applications with wavelengths-650nm/810nm/980nm/1064nm/1470nm/1940nm

Image
Diode Laser Applications with wavelengths-650nm/810nm/980nm/1064nm/1470nm/1940nm Lasers have been used for various medical procedures such as dermatology and cosmetic surgery , wound healings, nerve stimulation, dentistry ophthalmology applications for vision corrections and corneal deceases. and many other therapeutic procedures. Combining the nanoparticles, diode lasers have been also used for cancer therapy, bio-sensing, bio-imaging, drug delivery and diagnostics of cancer cell. Lasers in the near infrared (IR), wavelength of (750-1200) nm, have deeper tissue penetration depths than that of visible lasers. Therefore, near IR lasers are good candidates for procedures which need deep penetrations such as hair removal and nano-gold mediated cancer therapy. On the other hand, visible lasers (430 – 680) nm with strong absorption in blood and color-dyes have been used for phototherapy of oral cancer, retina deceases and tattoo removal. Mid-IR lasers (1.9-3.0) um and (9.3 -10.6) um with ...

The Treatment of Saphenous Vein Occlusion by Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) with a 1064 nm Laser

Image
 The Treatment of Saphenous Vein Occlusion by Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) with a 1064 nm Laser 1064 nm diode laser is an effective and safe treatment modality for varicose veins, Due to higher patient satisfaction, shorter recovery times, lower cost, and ease of operation Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) of the great and/or short saphenous vein has become the treatment of choice for varicose veins. EVLA shows minimal side effects in comparison with other surgical methods; patients can walk immediately after surgery and recovery times are short. The EVLA procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting and usually, only local anesthesia is required. The principle mechanism of EVLA therapy is ablation and photocoagulation of the vein interior by laser- induced  thermal  effects.  In  brief,  EVLA  is accomplished by inserting an optical fiber just below the saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) through the great saphenous vein (GSV) and delivering l...

HARLAS – Combine the most optimal therapy wavelngths 650nm/ 810nm/ 910nm/ 980nm/ 1084nm in one portable laser

HARLAS – Combine the most optimal therapy wavelngths 650nm/ 810nm/ 910nm/ 980nm/ 1064nm in one portable laser It is important that the laser have wavelengths that fall within the so-called “THERAPEUTIC WINDOW”: HARLAS emits wavelengths from 650 nm to 1064 nm. MULTI WAVELENGTH Wavelengths selected to ensure the uniformity of energy distribution from the surface layers to the deeper tissue layers. 5 available wavelengths 650nm The emitted energy is almost totally absorbed by hemoglobin, so it is particularly recommended as coagulant and antiedematous. At this wavelength, skin melanin optimally absorbs the laser energy, ensuring a high dose of energy on the surface region, encouraging the anti-edema effect. It is a great wavelength for tissue regeneration, wounds healing and fast cicatrization. 810nm It is the wavelength with less absorption by hemoglobin and water and therefore reaches deep in...

Class IV Lasers in Physical Therapy

Class IV Lasers in Physical Therapy Laser is an acronym for:  L ight  A mplification from the  S timulated  E mission of  R adiation Laser Classifications  Lasers are classified into four broad areas depending on the potential for causing biological damage.  When you see a laser, it should be labeled with one of these four class designations:  Class I These lasers cannot emit laser radiation at known hazard levels.  Class I.a This is a special designation that applies only to lasers that are "not intended for viewing," such as a supermarket laser scanner. The upper power limit of Class I.A. is 4.0 mW. Class II These are low-power visible lasers that emit above Class I levels but at a radiant power not above 1 mW.  The concept is that the human aversion reaction to bright light will protect a person.  Class III.a These are intermediate-power lasers (cw: 1-5 mW), which are hazardous only for intrabeam viewing. Most pen-like po...

Best Diode Laser for Veterinary Laser Surgery

Best Diode Laser for Veterinary Laser Surgery As growing numbers of veterinary clinicians are beginning to appreciate the many ways in which a laser can benefit their patients and their practice, Dimed has designed a family of fine surgical Diode laser systems that combine state-of-the art laser science with the latest advances in digital technology. The Dimed laser provides unparalleled precision and control (it is able to remove a single layer of cells, if desired), and yet offers enough power to perform large animal surgeries. An Dimed veterinary laser system can help expand the scope of the veterinary practice – the unique hemostatic properties of the laser beam and the ability to treat previously inaccessible sites allow the clinician to perform procedures that he or she may not have considered practical using conventional scalpel method.
