摘要
. Laser-activated solid protein solder strips have been developed for peripheral nerve repair. Indocyanine green dye added to the solder strongly absorbs diode wavelengths (∼800 nm) and causes localised heating and coagulation of the albumin protein solder. The protein strengthens the tissue join, particularly during the acute healing phase postoperative, while shielding the underlying axons from excessive thermal damage.
