Intended purpose
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device assembly in which input energy is used to excite a doped glass/crystal medium to emit a high l-power laser beam intended for general surgery and multiple specialised surgical applications (non-dedicated). It vaporise or ablates soft tissue with moderate haemostasis, little charring, and thin zone of necrosis. It includes a light source, delivery or positioning device(s), controls and foot-switch and emits a midinfrared wavelength. It does not include frequency doubling technology.
