[Laser treatment of the eyes of microsurgical needles]. / Lazernaia obrabotka otverstii mikrokhirurgicheskikh igl.

Experimental results of studies on ability to treat by laser beam holes into needles by 0.15-1.0 mm diameter made of steel are presented. Operating conditions such as radiant energy, pulse duration and frequency are specified.

[Optimal coefficient of overlap of light spots during laser hardening of medical instruments]. / Optimal'nyi koéffitsient perekrytiia svetovykh piaten pri lazernom uprochenii meditsinskikh instrumentov.

The optimum coefficient of light spot intercepts in the course of laser hardening medical instruments is determined for the case when there are no unirradiated sites on the surface under treatment. The increase in the light spot diameter during irradiation has been shown to be followed by more rapid expansion of the hardened area in comparison with the one of the tempered zone.
