The SMARTXIDE TETRA PRO DEVICE consists of a 10,600nm carbon dioxide laser (CO2) laser with 40W of maximum power. The laser energy is delivered to the treatment area via an articulated arm and a delivery accessory connected to its distal end. The articulated arm is an optical assembly that delivers free beam laser radiation. It is made up of seven mirrors placed on rotating knuckles: the mechanical accuracy of the articulated arm allows the CO2 laser beam to travel inside it and along its axis regardless of the arm orientation. The device may be used in combination with scanning units in order to achieve greater predictability and reproducibility. The use with the scanning units is indicated for layer-by-layer char-free ablation, enhancing the safety of the treatment with more uniform, accurate and controllable impact such as ablative skin resurfacing.
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.
