Project Objective

The project received funding from the National Center for Research and Development as part of the Applied Research Program in path A. The leader of the project is the Institute of High Pressure Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The consortium includes the Medical University of Warsaw, ACCURO sp.z o.o., Piastów Śląskich Medical University in Wrocław. The aim of the project is to create a new laser source for the treatment of skin lesions. The device is based on the experience of the Institute of High Pressure Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in the field of laser diodes and the patented method of coupling diodes with optical fibers. In cancer therapy using the photodynamic method, the possibilities of using new laser sources and a new photosensitizer will be investigated. The advantages of the new laser will be: small size, low power consumption, high reliability and low cost of production. The device will be intended for dermatologists and aesthetic medicine clinics.
