Wound Healing
RF CO₂ Laser Technology Represents a New Light in Wound Healing Management
Wound care has become a top-priority issue for health systems worldwide. The expenditure for wound management has been rising up in last few years and could experience further growth, due to progressive ageing of population and global spreading of diseases like diabetes and obesity.
Chronic wounds include, but are not limited, to venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers that may result in amputation.
Laser technology, especially using the most advanced CO₂ lasers with RF source, represents a new opportunity in wound healing management, in order to reduce healing time and improve the quality of life and care for patients, mainly for those affected by chronic and non-responsive ulcers.
By proper selection of laser technical parameters (such as power, pulse shape, frequency and scanning features), physicians can induce different biological effects on tissues, ranging from precise cut and/or ablation to deep and effective stimulation of tissue regeneration.
