Effects of low intensity laser irradiation during healing of infected skin wounds in the rat.
RatWoundTranscutaneous irradiation of the woundRadiant exposures of 1 and 20 J/cm2From day 1 after wounding
Model: Dorsal skin wounds inoculated with bacteria to create infected full-thickness skin wounds, followed to day 19
Irradiation at 635 nm (1 and 20 J/cm2) and intensity modulated 808 nm at 20 J/cm2 gave smaller wound area at day 19 than sham (achieved significance level 0.0105 to 0.0208) with bacterial growth similar to controls, whereas the remaining protocols had no effect on wound area but increased bacterial…
