laserunterstützte

Laserunterstützte is a German term that translates to "laser-assisted" in English. It describes a process or method where a laser is employed to aid or enhance a particular operation. This can encompass a wide range of applications across various fields.

In medicine, laserunterstützte procedures are common. For instance, laserunterstützte in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a refractive surgery technique used to correct vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Here, a laser is used to reshape the cornea of the eye. Other medical uses include laserunterstützte Lymph drainage, a therapy for lymphedema, and various dermatological treatments involving laserunterstützte skin resurfacing.

Beyond healthcare, the term is also relevant in industrial settings. Laserunterstützte additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing, uses lasers to fuse material, layer by layer, to create three-dimensional objects. Laserunterstützte welding and cutting are other industrial applications that leverage the precision and energy of lasers for joining or separating materials. The specific function of the laser in each laserunterstützte process is to provide targeted energy, precise control, or to initiate a specific chemical or physical reaction, thereby improving the efficiency, accuracy, or outcome of the overall operation.
