Summary of the studies included in on biosafety in the use of low‐power lasers

Biosafety and low‐power lasers
Title Authors Periodic (year) Study/design Population/intervention Considerations
Influence of biosafety materials of the laser output power. Rodrigues FCN, de Araújo JGL, dos Santos Araújo EM, et al Lasers Med Sci, 2020. Observational Evaluates the interference of protective materials in the light output of low‐power lasers. All groups had reduced output power after placing protective material when related to the time factor. When compared to the materials used for protection, the protective material containing polyethylene (HDPE) showed a greater reduction in output power than the protective material of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for red and infrared wavelengths.
