Evaluation of a New Laser-Resistant Operating Room Drape, Eye Shield, and Anesthesia Circuit Protector

摘要

ABSTRACTTo determine whether Dermacare's laser eye shield, anesthesia circuit protector, and barrier drape were laser resistant, the three products were tested with CO2and Nd:YAG lasers set to 70 to 60 W, respectively. Five separate areas on each product were unaffected by 1 min of continuous laser fire with each type of laser. It is concluded that the Dermacare draping products offer good laser safety under the conditions of this experiment.
