Abstract :
The authors investigation of the interaction of CO laser light with tissue was motivated mainly by the possibility of fibre delivery of the 5 micron wavelength. If the CO laser has a similar tissue interaction to CO2, then there could be a major market for such medical laser systems. The fibre delivery would open new potential treatments in fields such as angioplasty, laserthermia and other procedures possible only by fibre delivery
