Cancer of the Larynx and Pharynx
Cancer of the Larynx and Pharynx

CO2 laser surgery has become the primary choice for treating cancer of the larynx. Laser surgery is cost-effective, yields immediate results, reduces hospitalization time and eliminates the need for tracheostomies. It minimizes the need for a feeding tube and reduces swallowing difficulties for the patient.

SurgiTouch

The SurgiTouch flashscanner features proprietary CO2 scanning technology that focuses and rapidly scans the laser energy delivered. Recommended treatment parameters are automatically set for each indication to achieve precise, char-free, layer-by-layer vaporization with minimal thermal damage and optimal clinical results.

AcuBlade

AcuBlade

The new AcuBlade represents a leap forward in otolaryngology. It is a revolutionary laser system that adds robotic capabilities for microsurgery. This new generation in CO2 laser accessories combines the SurgiTouch computerized laser scanning system with an operating microscope, enabling highly uniform, predefined incision length with reduced operating time. The AcuBlade system's precise linear incision capabilities and shaped cutting enable successful treatment of vocal cord diseases while reducing the potential for injury to vocal ligaments. Clinical data shows close to a 50% reduction of operating time with dramatic simplification of procedures.

With its circular pattern, in CW waveform, the AcuBlade system treats recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. The superficial ablation removes papillomas with minimal thermal damage to the glotic larynx.

AcuSpot

AcuSpot

Lumenis offers two types of small spot micromanipulators specifically designed for ENT microsurgery: the AcuSpot device. It adapts to a wide assortment of operating microscopes and can be configured for various working distances.

Each micromanipulator is factory calibrated to match your microscope and working distance. This attention to detail ensures proper spot size selection and controlled delivery of laser energy. Advanced optical and mechanical design make the Lumenis micromanipulator the instrument of choice for the most demanding microsurgical procedures.
