Laser and suture anastomosis: passive compliance and active force production.

abstract：:We examined the biostimulating effects of helium-neon laser radiation (HeNe; 632.8 nm), pulsed infrared laser radiation (IR; 904 nm), and the two combined on skin wound healing in New Zealand white rabbits. Seventy-two rabbits received either 1) no exposure, 2) 1.65 J/cm2 HeNe, 3) 8.25 J/cm2 pulsed IR, or 4) both HeNe...
