摘要
Plastic hollow fibers for the transmission of CO2 laser energy in curved paths were produced by plating the inner surface of plastic tubes with a metal film and dielectric film upon that. These fibers can transmit high power, up to 40 W at the outlet, with high transmission yield even through several bendings. To demonstrate a possible use of the fibers, they were checked for their influence on live tissues of dogs. Incisions were made in the liver, and ulcers in the dogs' stomachs were treated. The fibers were inserted into the stomach through the esophagus. Complete healing was observed after 4 weeks. Copyright © 1990 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company
