Aqueous Suspension for Laser Controlled Shock Wave Treatment of Skin and Mucous Membranes

Abstract

The article describes an aqueous suspension of activated carbon particles containing unbound water used for treatment of dystrophic gynecological diseases. The treatment is based on the method of controlled shock wave destruction of pathological tissues using laser radiation poorly absorbed by the tissues. A technology for saturating internal micropores of activated carbon particles with unbound water and preparing the aqueous suspension is described. The results of histological in vitro studies of the zone of necrosis caused by exposure of model biological objects (mucous membrane of miniature pig vagina) to shock waves are presented. It is shown that the thickness of the necrosis zone decreases with increasing intensity of laser radiation.
