Surgical Lasers
Surgical lasers are medical devices that generate highly focused beams of light to cut, coagulate, vaporize, or destroy tissue with great precision. They are used across many medical specialties because they can minimize bleeding, reduce tissue damage, and promote faster healing compared to conventional surgical instruments in appropriate procedures.
Principle of Operation
A laser works through Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER). The laser beam has unique properties:
Monochromatic: Single wavelength
Coherent: Light waves are in phase
Collimated: Highly parallel beam with minimal divergence
