Abstract Background and Objective Diode‐pumped fiber lasers are a compact and an
efficient source of high power laser radiation. These laser systems have found wide …

Thermal capsulorrhaphy is a new treatment modality for shoulder instability, where the joint
capsular tissue is heated and reduced in length by laser or radiofrequency energy to regain …

Background Many light-and laser-based systems are used to reduce cutaneous wrinkles,
and some have been shown to stimulate dermal collagen production. Using the ThermaCool …

PURPOSE: The kind and the degree of preferred collagen fibril orientation in normal human

purpose. The size and organization of stromal collagen fibrils influence the biomechanical
and optical properties of the cornea and hence its function. How fibrillar structure varies with …

An RF device has a support structure. An RF electrode, coupled to the support structure,
includes conductive and dielectric portions. A cooling member, coupled to the support …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of temperature on shrinkage and the
histologic properties of gienohumeral joint capsular tissue. Six fresh-frozen cadaveric …

Although surgical lasers were introduced to the field of otolaryngology more than 20 years
ago, their use in rhinologic surgery has remained relatively limited. With the development of …

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of laser energy at nonablative levels on the
ultrastructure of joint capsular collagen. The femoropatellar joint capsules of six mature New …
