Prophylaxis and treatment of acute radiation ulcers in rats with low-power infrared laser radiation

Abstract

Exposure of radiation ulcers in rats to low-power infrared laser radiation (LPLR) (wavelength -890 nm, pulse power -6 W, frequency -150 and 300 Hz, irradiation time -10 mm) noticeably accelerates their healing, reduces exudative processes, increases number of specialized cells in wound. Application of LPLR prior to radiation damage decreases ulcer dimensions.
