General/multiple surgical carbon dioxide laser system
Definition
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device assembly in which input energy is used to excite carbon dioxide (CO2) to emit a high-power laser beam intended to incise, excise, ablate, vaporize and coagulate soft tissues across multiple clinical specialties (e.g., dermatological, gynaecological, ENT) using both ablative and non-ablative lasing; it is not dedicated to a specific specialty. It typically includes a light source, delivery/positioning device(s), and controls/foot-switch. It does not include a therapeutic solid-state or diode laser.
