Surgical laser

High-intensity coherent light beams delivering micron-level precision for bloodless, minimally invasive procedures.

Modern surgical lasers utilize specific wavelengths (such as the 10,600 nm CO2 or the 1,064 nm Nd:YAG) to vaporize tissue while simultaneously sealing blood vessels. This process (hemostasis) significantly reduces intraoperative bleeding and post-op swelling. Surgeons rely on these tools for delicate tasks: removing tumors, clearing obstructed arteries, or performing LASIK eye corrections. By focusing energy into a tiny spot size (often 0.1 mm or less), the laser limits thermal damage to surrounding healthy cells. It is a cleaner, faster alternative to the traditional steel scalpel.
