Diode laser.


The Ceralas D family of 980 nm High Absorption Diode Laser See laser diode. from CeramOptec[R] is an excellent choice for the ENT office or surgical suite. The laser's high absorption in water and hemoglobin
fetal hemoglobin  that forming more than half of the hemoglobin of the fetus, present in minimal amounts in adults and abnormally elevated in certain blood disorders.
mean corpuscular hemoglobin  (MCH) the average hemoglobin content of an erythrocyte.
muscle hemoglobin  myoglobin.
 allows for optical cutting and coagulation
1. formation of a clot.
2. in surgery, the disruption of tissue by physical means to form an amorphous residuum, as in electrocoagulation and photocoagulation.
3. in colloid chemistry, the solidification of a sol into a gelatinous mass.
. Electrosurgical, radio wave, and all other laser wavelengths use heat for cutting or coagulation. The Ceralas D, by its absorption into the tissue's two key components, water and hemoglobin, avoids the associated tissue damage caused by charring and necrosis
aseptic necrosis  necrosis without infection, usually in the head of the femur after traumatic hip dislocation.
Balser's fatty necrosis  gangrenous pancreatitis with omental bursitis and disseminated patches of necrosis of fatty tissues.
caseous necrosis  cheesy n.
.

The Ceralas D Laser uses standard optical fiber that is designed to pass through any scope. Histologies show depth and penetration to be no more than 50 microns deeper than the target surgical site. The laser weighs 14 lbs. and comes in its own carrying case. This device is now distributed by Aztec Medical.
