This review covers established and emerging laser technologies for medical applications. Understanding laser-tissue interactions is key to evaluating new laser systems for surgery and therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Conventional continuous wave (cw) lasers like CO2 and Nd:YAG are standard in medical procedures.
  • Argon-ion lasers are established for ophthalmology, dermatology, and microsurgery.
  • New pulsed infrared (IR) lasers are emerging for tissue ablation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of current laser systems used in medicine.
  • To explain the interaction processes between lasers and biological tissues.
  • To aid in assessing the potential of novel laser sources.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of established and novel laser systems.
  • Discussion of laser-tissue interaction mechanisms.
  • Analysis of applications in soft and hard tissue procedures.
