Marc Katz, DPM, demonstrates the use of laser treatment for onychomycosis with the CoolTouch CoolBreeze (1320 nm) laser. According to Dr. Katz, the 1320 nm laser is currently undergoing clinical studies to determine the device's efficacy in treating onychomycosis. The CoolTouch CoolBreeze (1320 nm) laser is currently approved for general dermatology use, according to Dr. Katz.
At the current time, no laser has a specific FDA approved indication for onychomycosis.

Eric J. Lullove, DPM, PA, shares his insights on the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Matrix Dressing with PHI™ Technology. The Tegaderm™ dressing offers a unique, affordable wound care solution designed to promote the natural moisture balance needed for chronic wound healing. It helps jump-start stalled wounds — including diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers (stages II-IV) and venous stasis ulcers — and enables them to progress through the normal healing cascade.
Dr. Lullove is in private practice in Boca Raton, Fla. He is the Wound Management Director and Physician Consultant for Home Health Associates in Lake Worth, Fla.
