A Closer Look at DEKA and OmniGuide in Surgical Procedures
As surgeons and decision-makers in the medical field, ensuring your hospital or healthcare facility has the most advanced and efficient technology is vital. For example, when comparing DEKA and OmniGuide laser systems, the DEKA SmartXide² TRIO emerges as the superior choice for precision, versatility, and overall performance. This blog post explores why and the main features you need to know about this groundbreaking medical laser device.
Superior Power and Versatility
One of the standout features to highlight is that the DEKA laser system offers a maximum power of 60W — double compared to OmniGuide’s 30W. This increased power capacity results in more effective treatments and reduced procedure times. The DEKA TRIO also has an Ultrapulsed RF-Excited laser source for minimizing thermal damage to tissues and enhancing precision in delicate surgeries. Surgeons can choose between multiple operating modes as well with the SmartXide² TRIO, including Continuous Wave (CW), Super Pulse (SP), and Double Pulse (DP), ensuring adaptability for various surgical needs.
Enhanced Delivery Systems and Modules
Both the new OmniGuide Beacon and the DEKA TRIO offer free beam modality. This flexibility allows surgeons to select the most appropriate method for each procedure. The DEKA also includes an optional diode laser module, providing an additional wavelength for broader surgical applications. It’s important to note that OmniGuide systems do not offer this option. Additionally, scanners and microspot micromanipulators are not included in OmniGuide products but are available in DEKA laser systems, which we will explore in the next section.
Advanced Scanners and Micromanipulators
The SmartXide² TRIO leverages the power of the EasySpot Hybrid micromanipulator and the HiScan surgical scanner. This combination ensures speed, ease of use, and minimal invasiveness across diverse medical procedures. Clinically, the surgical outcomes are highly reproducible, thanks to the premium quality of the laser and the synergistic capabilities of EasySpot and HiScan technologies.
Clinical Benefits of DEKA Technology
The CO₂ laser technology used by DEKA allows for increased accessibility and visibility during procedures, with a reduced risk of complications. The DEKA TRIO’s precise cutting and minimal thermal damage result in less postoperative swelling and discomfort, plus faster recovery times. Another notable feature is the cost-effectiveness of DEKA systems due to having less consumable accessories. This differs from other laser systems that require frequent replacements. Overall, the high precision and control offered by DEKA’s technology result in quick, reproducible results, making it an efficient choice for busy surgical rooms.
Surgeon Testimonials
“Thanks to the precision and replicability that only scan-assisted CO₂ laser microsurgery can offer, the new HiScan Surgical scan system along with the Easyspot Hybrid micromanipulator has significantly simplified the performance of delicate and complex surgical procedures such as transoral larynx surgery and laser stapedotomy.”
– Dr. Stefano Dallari
Director of the ENT Surgery Unit, Ospedale di Fermo, Italy
“The DEKA CO₂ laser, with progressive scanning technology, makes surgery on delicate tissues, like vocal cords, easier, and safer. This is a wonderful tool for selective reconstruction procedures of the airways, with a series of significant advantages that go from ablation depth control, to reduced thermal damage, to lower dependence on the imprecise movements of the surgeon’s hand.”
– Guillermo Campos M.D.
Director – Institute of Laryngology Consultant – Department of Surgery, Fundación Santa Fé University Hospital, Bogotá DC, Colombia
