Characterization of Size-Specific Particulate Matter Emission Rates for a Simulated Medical Laser Procedure--A Pilot Study.

Prior investigation on medical laser interaction with tissue has suggested device operational parameter settings influence laser generated air contaminant emission, but this has not been systematically explored. A laboratory-based simulated medical laser procedure was designed and pilot tested to de...
