DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PIERCING SKIN WITH MICRO PROTRUSIONS

摘要

FIELD: medicine; medical engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves making microincisions in cornea layer with microprojecting element. Microprojecting element has single or several protrusions for producing single or several microincisions in cornea layer. The operation is executed with microprotrusions using microprojecting power element of 0.05 J/cm2 per 10 ms or less with matter introduced or withdrawn via said microincisions. Device has applicator having contact surface, and microprojecting element having single or several protrusions. The microprojecting element is mountable on the applicator after having been unlocked. The applicator enables one to bring contact surface in engagement with the microprojecting element after having been set in action. The microprojecting element acts upon corneal layer with power equal to or less than 0.05 J/cm2 per 10 ms or less. ^ EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment. ^ 39 cl, 7 dwg, 1 tbl
