Abstract

In this paper, the effect of subjecting CW CO2 laser on three types of tissues, having different water content (muscle, brain and lung) have been studied and the damage depth in tissue subjected to CO2 laser are found theoretically and experimentally. This paper, studied the thermal damage using two methods, thermal Dose (CEM43) and Arrhenius’ equation. From this work, it is found that: the damage depth that occurs due to apply CW CO2 laser, is decreased with the increase of laser power, velocity, and water content in tissue. Arrhenius model is found to be more accurate than CEM43 based on the damage assessment. The results of this research provide useful information to the surgeon who aimed to decrease damage depth, which decrease healing time.
