Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 22 -- Recent animal trials conducted by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation have found success in treating kidney masses or tumors with a GreenLight PV laser system developed by Laserscope, a maker of medical lasers and advanced fiber-optic delivery devices. The findings were reported in the September 2005 issue of The Journal of Urology. Based on the trial study, Cleveland Clinic researchers concluded that the hemostatic, or blood clotting, properties specific to the GreenLight laser show a "real potential for clinical application." The study demonstrated...Read full article
