Originally developed for minimally invasive treatment of the uterus and ovaries, the use of laparoscopic surgery today has expanded to a wide variety of conditions seen by the general surgeon such as appendectomy and gall bladder removal. Recent peer-reviewed studies have shown that its benefits over open surgery to the patient include healing faster with smaller scars and fewer postsurgical infections. These advances plus the advent of durable delivery fibers have made laparoscopic laser surgery a cost-effective solution for patient and physician alike. Lumenis' holmium and dual-wavelength systems and CO₂ lasers provide powerful tools in laparoscopy.

Products

The UltraPulse SurgiTouch laser system offers an alternate option for laparoscopic surgeons who are looking for power combined with a streamlined and mobile design. Both types of lasers offer the cross-specialty use desired by a busy surgical facility or hospital.

The VersaPulse PowerSuite dual-wavelength laser offers the best of both worlds for powerful laparoscopic laser applications. A simple touch of a pedal enables the surgeon to quickly switch between holmium and Nd:YAG wavelengths for procedures like partial nephrectomy, cholecystectomy and tonsillectomy where either wavelength may be used. The VersaPulse PowerSuite system offers the power needed by the surgeon and the flexibility of procedure-specific delivery devices.
