Laser microporator for porating a biological tissue

摘要

The laser micro-porator (10) for porating a biological membrane (1), comprises:
a) a laser source (7) that emits a pulsed beam (4), the laser source (7) comprising a laser diode (7c);
b) optics (8a,8b,8x) that modify the pulsed beam to direct a laser beam (4) of less that 1 mm width on the biological membrane (1);
c) a deflector (8f) oriented to direct the laser beam (4) in various directions;
d) a laser beam shaping device that reshapes the energy intensity distribution of the laser beam (4); and
e) a poration controller (11) that controls the laser source (7) to create a poration consisting of a plurality of individual pores (2) in the biological membrane (1).
