Laser Disinfection in Periprosthetic Joint Infection

NCT06440564 · Status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Summary

The eradication of biofilms from infected implants is still an unsolved challenge. The high-energy light beam of an Er:YAG laser causes rapid heating and explosive ablation of tissue. In this study we test the suitability of this laser for the removal of biofilms from infected implant surfaces.

Conditions

  • Periprosthetic Joint Infections

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Er:YAG Laser irradiation

The presented DALIR procedure differs in so far from a standard treatment that after exposure all accessible metal implant surfaces and the adjacent soft tissue is irradiated manually with the Er:YAG laser all over line-by-line with an intended overlap of approximately 10% at constant spot diameter.
