980nm 1470nm diode laser is used for gynecology
DOD laser is an ideal device for minimally-invasive surgical procedures.
It can be used in hysteroscopic and laparoscopic procedures as well as together with fiberscope.
DOD diode laser assures better tissue homeostasis in comparison with CO2 laser. Due to the availability of a wide array of accessories, it is possible to perform surgeries in contact technique. Fiber only works at tissue contact site which limits the thermal effect only to the operated site (depth of vaporization – 0,5mm).
A wide range of cannulas guiding the optical fiber enables to avoid the use of micromanipulator, indispensable in procedures with CO2 lasers.
Advantages
Precision – perfect cutting line; slight, thermal tissue damage – mostly white coagulation.
Safety – very good coagulation of intraoperative bleeding and the lack of postoperative bleeding.
Sterility.
Versatility – one device for cutting, coagulation and vaporization.
