After puncture or catheterization of the accessory nasal sinuses, the intensity of helium-neon laser inserted into the cavity under examination was recorded by means of a specially designed manipular. The laser beam intensity that penetrated the wall was found to correspond to the degree of its inflammation. The high level of objective information obtained allows assessment of pathological developments and therapeutic effectiveness.
Manipulators with monofibre light-guides have been specially designed for otorhinolaryngologic instruments commonly used in routine drug therapy for intracavital treatments. Quartz enclosed in a protective polyethylene sheath is used as the monofibre light-guide with a light conductor 400 microns in diameter and 2 to 3 m in length. It can be built in the following instruments: an ear catheter, a maxillary sinus lavage cannula, a subclavian artery catheter, and a laryngeal bougie. The use of monofibres allows considerable widening the application field of the low power laser therapy in otorhinolaryngologic practice. Moreover, in compliance with human engineering requirements it managed to preserve most standard manipulations otolaryngologist makes use in the course of routine clinical practice with conventional instruments.
