Soft tissue cutting efficiency by 980 nm laser with carbon‐, erbium‐, and titanium‐doped optothermal fiber converters
ConclusionAll three studied types of converters can be used for contact surgery of soft tissues by 980 nm diode laser. Er‐doped and Ti‐doped converters are more resistant to laser heating then C‐doped converter, they dissect soft tissue more effectively. This will also expand the potential of everyday routine clinical procedures, making them safer, faster, and easier. These converters can be used in general surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, angioplasty, dentistry, neurosurgery, etc. Lasers Surg. Med. 9999:1–16, 2018. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
