LightScalpel laser operating parameters, control panel settings, and accessories’ designs are based on the latest in laser-tissue interaction science across different surgical specialties from plastic surgery to soft tissue dentistry. LightScalpel’ scientists and engineers actively participate in a number of on-going clinical studies and R&D projects. LightScalpel scientists also regularly present their findings at the scientific conventions.
LightScalpel lasers are known for a wide range of exclusive and proprietary technologies that enable the most ergonomic (flexible hollow fiber with autoclavable variable focal spot handpieces) and highly efficient soft tissue laser surgery (variable pulsing and laser fluence capabilities, distal end fiber calibration, customizable pre-sets) at the lowest maintenance cost (long-lasting rugged all-metal CO2 laser resonators).
LightScalpel sponsors a variety of continuing education workshops nationwide. LightScalpel has made several clinical case articles and videos available online to better illustrate LightScalpel laser applications. Most importantly, LightScalpel encourages laser practitioners to seek membership at the American Laser Study Club.
