“…A wide variety of optical sources can be used to carry out these functions. 1,[13][14][15][16] For example, as indicated in Fig. 1, UV light from ArF or KrF lasers emitting at wavelengths of 193 and 249 nm, respectively, is strongly absorbed in the surface of a tissue and, thus, can be used for many surgical applications.…”

Abstract. Optical fiber technology has significantly bolstered the growth of photonics applications in basic life sciences research and in biomedical diagnosis, therapy, monitoring, and surgery. The unique operational characteristics of diverse fibers have been exploited to realize advanced biomedical functions in areas such as illumination, imaging, minimally invasive surgery, tissue ablation, biological sensing, and tissue diagnosis. This review paper provides the necessary background to understand how optical fibers function, to describe the various categories of available fibers, and to illustrate how specific fibers are used for selected biomedical photonics applications. Research articles and vendor data sheets were consulted to describe the operational characteristics of conventional and specialty multimode and single-mode solid-core fibers, double-clad fibers, hard-clad silica fibers, conventional hollow-core fibers, photonic crystal fibers, polymer optical fibers, side-emitting and side-firing fibers, middle-infrared fibers, and optical fiber bundles. Representative applications from the recent literature illustrate how various fibers can be utilized in a wide range of biomedical disciplines. In addition to helping researchers refine current experimental setups, the material in this review paper will help conceptualize and develop emerging optical fiber-based diagnostic and analysis tools.

“…These obstacles to penetration lead to exponentially decaying intensities of light with depth. A study reporting the successful translation of in vitro results obtained in the Petri dish to the treatment of surgically repaired nerves in vivo found the optimal dose for nerve repair in vitro to be 97.5% less than that required when delivered on the surface of the skin (Anders et al, 2014).…”

“…The literature evidences the application of PBMT in other tissues or regions, such as bone [12,35], cartilage and orthopedic disorders [36], cells in vitro culture [37], Central Nervous System [38,39] and also in cases such as cerebral palsy in children [40]. In addition to PBMT, there are other physical agents that can be used in clinical practice as auxiliary methods in the treatment of tissue repair, such as lowintensity pulsed ultrasound [41].…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to perform a mini-review on the effects of low-level laser therapy on nerve regeneration. Methods:In this study, the authors associated the new fibrin sealant derived from snake venom as a method of nerve repair end-to-side. Results and conclusion:The use of fibrin sealant effectively provided an axonal regeneration, and the association with low-level laser therapy elevated this regenerative process, as demonstrated in the morphometric and morphological analyzes.
