The Power of CO2 Medical Lasers
Let’s delve into some details about CO₂ medical lasers and some of their applications in the healthcare industry.
The unmatched precision of CO2 medical lasers
CO2 medical lasers are renowned for their incredible precision, enabling healthcare professionals to perform intricate procedures with accuracy. The 10600 nm wavelength produced by the CO2 laser is highly absorbed by water allowing for precise surgery on soft-tissue at a microscopic level, enabling controlled ablation, cutting, and vaporization. This level of precision minimizes collateral damage to surrounding tissues, reduces scarring, and promotes faster healing.

Minimally invasive gynecological procedures
ENT surgery
The focused and controlled emission of CO₂ medical lasers have extensive applications in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) medicine. Here are some examples:
- A common application of CO2 lasers in ENT is in laryngeal surgeries, which treat vocal cord lesions, polyps, and nodules.
- Another use of CO2 lasers in ENT is treating obstructive sleep apnea, helping to vaporize or shrink excess tissue in the throat and improving airflow during sleep.
- CO2 lasers are also used in delicate surgeries inside the nasal passages, effectively treating chronic rhinitis, nasal polyps, and sinusitis.
