Argon Laser Treatment of Port Wine Stains by the Spectra-Physics Model 770 Argon Laser Photocoagulator

Binocular indirect argon laser photocoagulator.

The binocular indirect argon laser photocoagulator was newly designed to enable visualisation of the entire fundus during panretinal laser photocoagulation and to treat retinal tears immediately after buckling procedures of the sclera. The lamp housing of the binocular ophthalmoscope was remodelled and adjusted so that the laser beam and illuminating light are coaxial after leaving the ophthalm...

a therapeutic experience on port wine hemangiomas with argon laser

port wine stains are benign but cosmetically devasting congenital angiomas. the argon laser is a therapeutic device newly applied to this condition. our program was begun 6 years ago. from the beginning, the study was conceived as a clinical investigation of both the port wine stain and its argon laser therapy. a total of 218 patients with port wine stains have been studied and many aspects of ...

Laser treatment of port-wine stains

Port-wine stains are a type of capillary malformation affecting 0.3% to 0.5% of the population. Port-wine stains present at birth as pink to erythematous patches on the skin and/or mucosa. Without treatment, the patches typically darken with age and may eventually develop nodular thickening or associated pyogenic granuloma. Laser and light treatments provide improvement through selective destru...
