A surgery workhorse gets smaller.

Dr. Frank Kubacki, Limo GmbH

For about 10 years, diode lasers have been established medical devices. They are powerful tools for surgery and for dental applications such as endodontics and paradontics because they work quickly, safely, painlessly and without bleeding. The excellent medical results come from the coagulation and the penetration depth of the laser radiation that can be controlled by a well-defined exposure time, pulse rate and wavelength. The diode wavelengths of 808 and 980 nm are suitable because they are absorbed well in hemoglobin and melanin. Therefore, the physician achieves a high cutting speed....Read full article
