DESCRIPTION

With the launch of the new diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser Limax®, surgeons have a laser system at their disposal which offers a triple advantage, combining the excellent beam quality of solid state lasers with an extremely high output power for faster interventions and a wavelength specially optimized for use on parenchymal tissue.        The use of lasers with a wavelength of 1,318 nm has gained more and more ground in recent years, especially for the resection of multiple metastases. The optimal coefficients of absorption in both water and hemoglobin – exclusively attainable with the 1,318-nm wavelength – are just perfectly suited for cutting, coagulating and sealing parenchymal tissue.        Apart from its clinical advantages, this new laser is a great economic solution as well. It not only saves you a lot of money on consumables, but also boosts the number of patients eligible for laser therapy.
