case_images: This device (Figure 2) emits in the infrared spectrum (808 nm) with a green LED aiming beam indicating the irradiation area, which is an elliptic shape with the two axes measuring 45 and 10 mm for a total surface of 4.5 cm2.
case_images: At-home application of laser B-Cure on ulcerative lesion: a simple transparent plastic bag was used to wrap the laser and to maintain sterility.
