Abstract:
1. A medical laser device for enhanced medical treatment comprising: at least one laser light source; and a transmission medium having a proximal end in optical contact with said at least one light source and a distal end adapted to be positioned near a treatment site; wherein said at least one laser light source emits, in substantially continuous mode, a laser light having at least one preselected wavelength that is highly absorbed at said treatment site or its vicinity; wherein said at least one laser light source, said transmission medium and said preselected wavelength are selected such that said laser light is delivered to said treatment site in a continuous wave and with a power density sufficient to form a plasma and/or high energy vapor bubble region at said distal end of said transmission medium in close proximity to a tissue treatment site; said plasma and/or high energy vapor bubble region delivering thermal energy to a surrounding medium, causing thermo-ablation.
