“…The examples of such technologies are: laser engineering of cartilages (Bagratashvili et al, 2006); puncture multichannel laser decompression of disc (Sandler et al, 2002;Sandler et al, 2004); laser intervention upon osteochondrosis (Chudnovskii & Yusupov, 2008); laser treatment of chronic osteomyelitis (Privalov et al, 2001); endovenous laser ablation (Van den Bos et al, 2009); fractional photothermolysis (Rokhsar & Ciocon, 2009). Treatment of osteochondrosis, for example, is based on laser-induced (0.97 µm in wavelength and 2-10 W in power) formation of multiple channels inside an intervertebral disc using silica fiber with a carbon coated fiber tip surface, in order to enhance laser light absorption nearby the fiber tip.…”
