Scientific and practical seminar "Laser technologies in medicine – today and tomorrow"

Laser technology has been used in medicine for over 50 years. During this time, highly effective treatments for various diseases have been developed, boasting enormous potential for further development. However, a lack of information about laser technology significantly limits its use in mainstream healthcare. On June 29, a scientific and practical seminar, "Laser Technologies in Medicine – Today and Tomorrow," will be held. At the seminar, participants will be able to learn about the latest advances in laser medicine using next-generation lasers. The event is organized by our partners, Scientific and Technical Association IRE-Polus LLC, and the Laser Medicine Center of the First St. Petersburg State Medical University named after Academician I.P. Pavlov (PSPbSU). The seminar will feature medical devices for phlebology, dermatology, urology, and other fields of medicine manufactured by Scientific and Technical Association IRE-Polus LLC. You will have the opportunity to see them firsthand and even try them out on models. In particular, a new product will be presented - the first domestic new generation laser for minimally invasive surgery and destruction of stones in the urinary tract and kidneys.
