One of the main problems in orthopaedics is the surgical removal of hard substances, such as bone and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Such materials are often very difficult to remove without mechanical trauma to the remaining tissue. This study investigated the feasibility of the ultraviolet 308 nm

This article reports the investigation of the XeCl excimer laser as a cutting-ablating tool for human fibrocartilage and hyaline cartilage. Quantitative measurements were made of tissue ablation rates as a function of fluence in meniscal fibrocartilage and articular hyaline cartilage. A force of 1.4
The argon fluoride excimer laser is investigated as a cutting-ablating tool for bone surgery. Quantitative measurements are presented for various fluences of laser energy and number of pulses. Histological data are presented that demonstrate the minimal damage to the surrounding material from the la
The reaction of molecular oxygen clusters with laser-ablated (308 nm) hot fullerenes was studied in a molecular beam/time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Molecular oxygen cluster anions (0,); were effkiently produced with n ranging from 1 to 15. The cluster anion formation is mainly attributed to the e
To determine the temporal evolution of laser induced tissue ablation, arterial wall specimens with either hard calcified or fatty plaques and normal tissue were irradiated in a 0.9% saline solution using a XeCl excimer laser (wavelength 308 nm, energy fluence 7 J/cm2, pulse width 30 ns) through a 60
