Used in surgical tools to ensure complete identification during the sterilization process, and used for pacemaker housing welding to improve sealing and reduce infection risks.
Ophthalmology: Lasers are used to correct vision problems and treat glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal diseases. A precisely focused laser beam can destroy abnormal tissue or reshape the cornea. Dermatology and Aesthetics: Lasers are used to remove tattoos, scars, vascular lesions, and skin tumors. Carbon dioxide lasers are often used for skin reshaping and wrinkle removal, providing minimally invasive treatment. Surgery: Lasers are used as cutting tools in tumor resection, cardiovascular surgery, and neurosurgery to achieve precise incisions, stop bleeding, and vaporize tissue, thereby reducing the risk of bleeding and infection. Cardiovascular Applications: Laser angioplasty is used to clear arterial blockages and improve blood flow; it is also used for precision welding of pacemaker implants. Diagnostics and Imaging: Lasers are used in optical coherence tomography and fluorescence imaging to improve visualization of internal tissues. Other Applications: Lasers are used in dentistry, urology, and gynecology.
