CO₂ laser ENT microsurgery: the password is Mini-invasiveness

DEKA's new CO₂ laser systems with incorporated electronic control system for scanning, are decisive steps forwards towards easier, faster, safer, and more efficacious surgery. The well-known advantages of CO₂ laser surgery are further enhanced by the lasers of the Smartxide HS line coupled with the HiScan Surgical scanner and Easyspot micromanipulator.

Perfect control of the thermal damage, cutting and ablation figures with the size and depth established by the user. All the main functions are controlled directly on the joystick by the surgeon who never has to take his/her eyes off the microscope.

Transoral Laryngeal Microsurgery

The advantages of laryngeal CO₂ laser surgery

• Simplicity
• Speed
• Mini-invasiveness
• Low morbility
• Possibility of operating on elderly and/or debilitated patients and/or those with pacemakers
• Reduced hospitalisation (cutting of health costs)
• Oncological results compliant with or event better than traditional external surgery

Applications
