Diode laser for the treatment of ENT (ear, nose throat) surgery & therapy

Diode laser for the treatment of ENT (ear, nose throat) surgery & therapy


The use of lasers in ENT surgery is common practice today. Thanks to the evolution of laser sources, the surgical otolaryngology approach has been revolutionized by the ability to perform minimally invasive, highly precise surgery, suitable for a wide range of treatments for diseases of ear/nose/throat.
However the properties of all lasers are not alike and surgeries in the ENT field have advanced significantly with the introduction of Diode Laser.
Diode Laser offers the most bloodless surgery available today. This laser is especially suited for ENT works and finds application in various aspects of surgery in the ear, nose, larynx, neck etc. With introduction of Diode Laser, there has been a significant improvement in the quality of ENT surgery.



Applications:

It can be used in contact mode, in which the tip of the fiber is placed directly on the surface of the tissue. This mode is effective for both photocoagulation and vaporization of tissue, depending on the power density. At the low- or mid-power range, coagulation occurs; at a higher level, vaporization occurs.
The laser can be used in near-contact mode, in which the tip of the fiber remains several millimeters apart from the tissue. This mode is largely used for tissue photo coagulation.


Ear

  • Cysts
  • Accessory auricle
  • Tumors of the inner ear
  • Hemangioma
  • Myringotomy
  • Cholesteatoma
  • Tympanitis

Nose

  • Nasal polyp, rhinitis
  • Turbinate reduction
  • Papilloma
  • Cysts & Mucoceles
  • Epistaxis
  • Stenosis & synechia
  • Sinus surgery
  • Dacryocystorhinostomy ( DCR )

Throat

  • Uvulopalatoplasty ( LAUP )
  • Tonsillotomy
  • Glossectomy
  • vocal cord polyps
  • Epiglottectomy
  • Strictures

Advantages in ENT

  • Low cost
  • Bloodless treatment
  • High precision ablation
  • Fast and gentle outpatient treatments
  • Mini-invasive surgery through flexible fiber optics
  • Easy operation, can be introduced by endoscope
  • Enhanced healing
  • Less postoperative trouble

Best Diode Laser for Veterinary Laser Surgery As growing numbers of veterinary clinicians are beginning to appreciate the many ways in which a laser can benefit their patients and their practice, Dimed has designed a family of fine surgical Diode laser systems that combine state-of-the art laser science with the latest advances in digital technology. The Dimed laser provides unparalleled precision and control (it is able to remove a single layer of cells, if desired), and yet offers enough power to perform large animal surgeries. An Dimed veterinary laser system can help expand the scope of the veterinary practice – the unique hemostatic properties of the laser beam and the ability to treat previously inaccessible sites allow the clinician to perform procedures that he or she may not have considered practical using conventional scalpel method. BERYLAS                                  ...

Class IV Lasers in Physical Therapy

Class IV Lasers in Physical Therapy Laser is an acronym for:  L ight  A mplification from the  S timulated  E mission of  R adiation Laser Classifications  Lasers are classified into four broad areas depending on the potential for causing biological damage.  When you see a laser, it should be labeled with one of these four class designations:  Class I These lasers cannot emit laser radiation at known hazard levels.  Class I.a This is a special designation that applies only to lasers that are "not intended for viewing," such as a supermarket laser scanner. The upper power limit of Class I.A. is 4.0 mW. Class II These are low-power visible lasers that emit above Class I levels but at a radiant power not above 1 mW.  The concept is that the human aversion reaction to bright light will protect a person.  Class III.a These are intermediate-power lasers (cw: 1-5 mW), which are hazardous only for intrabeam viewing. Most pen-like po...

Affordable 980nm Diode High Intensity Laser Therapy Equipment Back Treatment Affordable 980nm Diode Laser Back Treatment For Lower Back Pain How Laser Therapy Works All light is composed of photons. Photons are small packets of light energy—in the form of waves— with a defined wavelength and frequency. Photon energy is able to more effectively penetrate the skin and underlying structures, therefore accelerating the healing process. Light travels at a constant speed and oscillate up and down as it moves forward. However, all light is not the same. It is measured in wavelengths, with each wavelength of light representing a different color of the spectrum. The number of oscillations per second represents the frequency of each wavelength; shorter waves have a greater frequency than longer waves. Laser energy is coherent (well-ordered photons), monochromatic (single-color) light energy. When produced as a narrow, bright beam. Laser light holds its intensity unti...
