Background:
As the most abundant protein in human tissues, the use of collagen is essential in the fields of biological science and medicine.
Objective:
The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanical effect of pulsed laser irradiation on collagen tissue.
Methods:
With various laser parameters such as peak power, pulse width, and repetition rate, the induced stresses on samples were measured and analyzed. Monte Carlo simulation was performed to investigate the effect of laser parameters on the collagen sample.
Results:
The results indicated that the magnitude of mechanical stress could be controlled by various laser parameters.
Conclusions:
This study can be used in biostimulation for therapy and mechanoreceptor stimulation for tactile application.
