- 15 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A multi-layer article to protect a patient from laser radiation during surgery comprises two metallic layers sandwiching a flame-resistant, radiation absorbing layer. The facing surfaces of the metallic layers, adjoining the middle layer, are reflective. The top surface of the upper metallic layer has a non- reflective, flame-resistant coating. The radiation- absorbing layer is preferably a hydrogel. The lower metallic layer is preferably thicker than the upper layer and/or is of a metal that has a higher melting temperature than that of the upper layer. The article protects the patient by harmlessly dissipating the energy in a misdirected laser beam for a period of time that will permit a healthcare worker to take corrective action.
