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](https://sifsof.com/product/fda-portable-980nm-surgery-laser-system-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.
