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 ENT ears, nose, and throat (otorhinolaryngology). ENT abbr. ear, nose, and throat ENT ear, nose and throat. ENT Ears, nose & throat; formally, otorhinolaryngology office or surgical suite. The laser's high absorption in water and hemoglobin allows for optical cutting and coagulation coagulation (kōăg'y  lā`shən), the collecting into a mass of minute particles of a solid dispersed throughout a liquid (a sol), usually followed by the precipitation or . 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 Charring is a process of incomplete combustion that often occurs when biological tissue (living or dead) is subjected to heat. The resulting matter is sometimes called char. Coke and charcoal are produced this way. and necrosis. 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.
