The infrared coagulator (IRC) is an instrument that delivers a narrow beam of noncoherent infrared light to the skin surface.
The purpose of the study was to determine the utility of the infrared coagulator in treating common warts of the hands and feet.
Forty-four warts in 21 patients were treated with 1.25-second pulse durations. Thirty-one of the warts were recurrent after previous electrosurgery or cryosurgery. Average follow-up time was 11 months.
Overall, 25 warts (57%) resolved after one treatment, 6 warts (14%) regressed and cleared with additional treatment, and 13 warts (30%) recurred, giving an overall cure rate of 70%. Eleven of the 21 patients (52%) were cleared of all their treated warts.
The IRC is a useful therapeutic modality for common warts.
红外凝固器（IRC）是一种将一束狭窄的非相干红外光照射到皮肤表面的仪器。
本研究的目的是确定红外凝固器在治疗手足寻常疣中的效用。
对21例患者的44个疣体采用1.25秒的脉冲持续时间进行治疗。其中31个疣体曾接受过电外科手术或冷冻手术，术后复发。平均随访时间为11个月。
总体而言，25个疣体（57%）经一次治疗后消退，6个疣体（14%）经额外治疗后缩小并清除，13个疣体（30%）复发，总体治愈率为70%。21例患者中有11例（52%）的所有治疗疣体均被清除。
红外凝固器是治疗寻常疣的一种有效治疗方式。
