Apparatus for measuring the depth and area of photodesiccation of tissues of the female genital apparatus, of the mucous epithelia and of the skin, by CO2 laser

摘要

This is an apparatus for measuring the depth of destruction by vaporisation (photodesiccation) of the human tissue by CO2 laser. The measurement apparatus comprises: A manual probe with a flexible electrical contactor E; A sensor case with electronic display and holder; The holder contains the batteries of the electronic data collection and display system; A transmission system. The probe is manipulated by the user of the CO2 laser on the target organ to be treated. The treatment and the measurement are carried out with colposcopic observation. We have successfully used this in the treatment of precancerous lesions of the uterine neck, the vagina and the vulva. <IMAGE>
