Every year, surgeons perform a lower-limb amputation due specifically to diabetes on approximately 73,000 patients in the US alone. Annually there are over 1 million limb amputations worldwide. Most of these amputations are performed for the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers that resulted from PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease). These non-healing foot ulcers are caused by high blood ...
Compared to traditional treatments, the main principle of dental diode laser cutting soft tissue is to heat the tissue with a hot tip contact. By converting light energy into heat energy at the tip end, the high temperature can be high enough to evaporate the soft tissue. Dental diode lasers have significant advantages, mainly scarless wound healing and improved bacterial reduction. For patients, ...
