Laser Healer is Better, Cooler Than Stitches

Next time you’re wounded and need stitches, ask your doctor about the laser. Scientists at Tel Aviv University have made a heal beam that can instantly seal up a cut with less scarring and tearing than traditional sutures. That means it wont take as long to get better, plus you can tell everyone that you got seared with a laser. Patients who signed up for the experiment gave it positive marks, but it’ll probably be a few years before the device reaches operating rooms around the world. I’m practically looking forward to my next injury. [Reuters via Dvice]
