METHODS FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE PRODUCTION OF TOXIC AND CARCINOGENIC SUBSTANCES IN THE LASER PLUME DURING CUTTING AND EVAPORATION OF TISSUE

摘要

Methods for the reduction of harmful substances in the laser smoke produced during laser treatment in medicine were reported in the present paper. The increase of the oxygen content in the laser tissue interaction zone leads to a significant reduction of harmful components in the laser smoke and to an increase of carbon dioxide emission.
