Laser Surgery for Mucoceles Excision
A mucocele is a salivary gland cyst, which contains mucous content. It usually arises from the minor salivary glands.
In simpler terms, mucocele appears as a distinct painless swelling of the mucosa, which has a fluctuant feel indicating fluid contents.
The cyst forms due to the retention of mucus within the gland, because of the rupture of the gland or obstruction of the cyst.
It is most usually found on the lower lip but also occurs frequently on the buccal mucosa (over the cheeks) or the floor of the mouth.
To avoid intraoperative surgical complications like bleeding and oedema and to enable better healing, excision can be done using a diode laser in the wavelength of 980 nm.
The FDA Portable 980nm Surgery Laser System SIFLASER-1.2B is specifically designed to meet that exact wavelength requirement.
To explain in more detail, the tissue components haemoglobin and melanin of the lip/mouth interact more with this device’s blue laser light even at reduced power.
Accordingly, this allows SIFLASER-1.2B to perform better and softer bloodless, pain-free Mucoceles removals.
What also makes the SIFLASER-1.2B highly recommended by oral surgeons is that it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during micro-surgery. All due to its green aiming beam.
Further, in order to guarantee better results, the device is supported with a fibre guide laser. This fibre is compatible with various endoscopic uses. It is also sterilisable which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infections while guaranteeing a clean and bloodless operative area.
Accordingly, patients should not fear any possible thermal side damages.
Moreover, the complete absence of water absorption in the device helps drastically reduce the overheating of the surrounding tissues.
This should eliminate any possible after-effects which, in turn, will reinforce the laser treatment’s effectiveness.
Due to all these features and more, the SIFLASER-1.2 B guarantees the success of Mucoceles removals in a better way compared to surgical operations.
