The invention relates to a method and a
system for
laser ablation of biological
hard tissue based on ultrasonic-induced pulsed
water jet. The
system mainly comprises an ultrasonic
system, a
water supply system, an air supply system, a
laser transmission system, an
optical fiber fixing system and a waste liquid
recovery system. Ultrasonic
waves are adopted to induce pulse
water jet to be coaxial with the hollow
optical fiber, gas with a certain pressure intensity is introduced into the hollow
optical fiber, and a
laser beam is reflected into the hollow optical
fiber through a reflector to be coupled and then acts on biological
hard tissue. Water transmitted by the
water supply system passes through the water cavity and flows to a
laser ablation area along the outer wall of the optical
fiber, the ultrasonic system generates vibration through a
transducer to drive
water flow to form pulsating
water jet to
impact the surface of the
ablation area, and the water jet is helpful to enter a narrow kerf under the pulsating effect and is helpful to
discharge ablation debris. Therefore, large-depth and high-quality drilling and slotting of biological hard tissues can be realized. Meanwhile, the air supply system controls the thickness of a
water layer in a laser acting area on the surface of the
bone tissue by introducing gas with certain pressure through the center of the hollow optical
fiber, so that the
water layer is prevented from greatly absorbing the laser, and high ablation efficiency is ensured. According to the invention, large depth, high ablation efficiency and high
cooling efficiency can be simultaneously realized in
laser ablation of biological hard tissues.
