Laser complex for cross-linking wounds

2023: Product Announcement

Specialists, Sechenov University the National Research University "" and MIET OKB LLC "" Damask steel have developed a device for bloodless operations. This became known in early June 2023.

As noted in the university, for 10 years, scientists around the world have been working on the method of medical laser soldering, but it was not possible to introduce the technology into medical practice. It's all about the extremely thin line between the adhesion of the tissue and its burn.

Russian scientists have developed a device for conducting bloodless operations

Within the framework of the national project "Science and Universities" in the engineering school "Intellectual Systems of Theranostics" of Sechenov University, a laser device was invented in which the system maintains the seam temperature with an accuracy of 1 ° C, which avoids tissue burn and the formation of a rough scar.

This accuracy of exposure is necessary due to the fact that the tissues of the body have a temperature threshold of no more than 50-70 ° C, depending on the type of tissue, the scientist explained. If this temperature exceeds, irreversible denaturation will occur - thermal necrosis. The denatured parcel cannot be restored. Meanwhile, the temperature feedback system developed by specialists of the advanced engineering school allows you to set the exact heating temperature range. For skin, for example, it is 47-55 ° C. And in this range, the temperature can be maintained throughout the operation.

Thanks to the development, it is possible to carry out operations without blood loss and with minimal tissue damage, as well as reduce the recovery time after surgery. The laser apparatus has already been successfully used to heal wounds on the skin of laboratory animals, including also work with mucous membranes of the oral cavity.

Scientists are ready to start soldering wounds on internal organs. An extensive field of potential application of the development includes reconstruction of the cardiovascular system, classical and plastic surgery, as well as laser repair of cartilage tissues.^[1]
