CO2
The carbon dioxide laser in podiatric medicine.
Kaplan BR, D’Angelo AJ, Johnson CB.
Abstract
The CO2 laser has several distinct advantages in its application to soft tissue lesions of the foot. A dry field is obtained with good hemostasis and clear vision, with easy access in confined areas. The laser beam sterilizes as it cuts, reducing the incidence of infection. In sealing lymphatic channels, it may theoretically diminish the risk of metastasis in malignant lesions. Healing occurs with minimal postoperative swelling, scarring, or pain, leading to increased patient comfort. Other areas in which the laser can be helpful are porokeratosis, keloids, spider web varicosities, and tattoos.
