Laser-Guided Treatment in Otology
Otology is a subspecialty of otolaryngology which focuses on the diseases of the ear and connecting structures.
Otolaryngologists are the only medical specialists who deal with some of these disorders:
- Hearing Disorders
- Ear Infections
- Tumours of the ear or ear nerves and ear pain.
To deal with such issues, several medical surgical treatments are being applied from quite a long time ago.
Nevertheless, Surgery Laser System is entering the otologic literature with competitive results.
Nowadays, Otology surgeries can be more effectively and safely managed with the use of otologic lasers.
In fact, Otologic lasers have expanded the surgeon’s safe management of many difficult middle ear abnormalities.
However, it is of importance to consider the quality of the laser machines that will perform this type of surgery.
The FDA Portable 980nm Surgery Laser System SIFLASER-1.2B has been often recommended by Otologists as one of the most efficient laser machines in their field.
This device displays a unique feature. Its blue laser light interacts better with the tissue components hemoglobin or melanin. At 980 nm, this machine can perform better and gentler ear tumors’ cutting, even at lower power.
What also makes the SIFLASER-1.2B highly appreciated among otologists is that it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during the check-up/treatment/surgery. All thanks to its green aiming beam.
Also, for better results, the device is supported with a fiber guide laser. So, it is compatible with various endoscopic uses.
Additionally, these special fibres are sterilisable which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infections while guaranteeing a clean and bloodless operative area.
With 980 nm wavelength and 15W as a maximum power, the device is thought to perfectly suit this otology highly-sensitive surgeries.
Such a quality is also expected to reduce the thermal damage due to its peculiar interaction with haemoglobin.
Due to all these features, the SIFLASER-1.2B guarantees increased treatment/cutting effectiveness, much higher than the one obtained with infrared lasers.
Since their invention, laser applications have expanded rapidly as they proved to be a successful addition to otology treatments and surgeries.
In this article, we discuss the benefits of laser therapy and precisely the efficacy of SIFLASER-1.2B as a surgical laser device in the otology field.
