In the rapidly advancing field of modern medicine, despite the availability of sophisticated
techniques, suturing remains a fundamental procedure in both surgical and internal …

Laser welding of ocular tissues is an alternative technique or adjunct to conventional
suturing in ophthalmic surgery. It is based on the photothermal interaction of laser light with …

The loss of organization of the corneal collagen lattice induced by photothermal effects was
analyzed by using second-harmonic generation (SHG) imaging. Porcine cornea samples …

We report a study on the application of laser-activated nanoparticles in the direct welding of
connective tissues, which may become a valuable technology in biomedicine. We use …

Tissue approximation and repair are conventionally performed with sutures and staples, but
these means are inherently traumatic. Tissue approximation using laser‐responsive …

We disclose the use of hybrid materials featuring Au/Ag core/shell nanorods in porous
chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol scaffolds for applications in tissue engineering and wound …

Abstract Background and Objective Laser welding of corneal tissue that employs diode
lasers (810 nm) at low power densities (12–20 W/cm2) in association with Indocyanine …

Objective Laser tissue soldering using photothermal solders is a technology that facilitates
rapid sealing using heat‐induced changes in the tissue and the solder material. The solder …

Tissue adhesive sealants have been used as substitutes for sutures in ophthalmic surgery in
recent years since the latter may cause irritation, inflammation and infection. Tissue …

PURPOSE: To describe the synthesis of a chondroitin sulfate–polyethylene glycol (CS-PEG)
adhesive and characterize its physical and biological properties in vitro and in vivo …
