1 METHODS: This laser catheter is fitted with an atraumatic ball-shaped fiber tip that is pretreated with a layer of carbon particles. Carbon TOR signaling pathway regulator Homo sapiens
2 As the heat is generated in this very thin layer of carbon coating, the temperature at the surface of the ball-shaped tip reaches ablative temperatures instantly at powers of only a few watts per second, which has enabled the authors to limit drastically the amount of laser light used and the length of exposure needed, thereby increasing safety even around critical structures.
