The Ultimate CO₂ Surgical Laser Upgrade

LightScalpel® is built on 30 years of CO₂ laser technology and innovation. Paul Diaz, MSEE, was a developer of the Xanar Surgical CO₂ laser. The Xanar laser later became the UltraPulse® laser at Coherent Medical and later at Lumenis. Paul later went on to co-found the Luxar Corporation (Luxar and NovaPulse laser systems), after which he worked as a research and development director at Lumenis, and then went on to co-found LightScalpel and Aesculight.

Comparing CO₂ Surgical Lasers

Some of the obvious advantages that the LightScalpel CO₂ laser has when compared to the old antiquated CO₂ laser systems include the vastly improved ergonomics of the flexible hollow waveguide delivery system, small pen-like handpieces, and a much smaller equipment footprint. Some of the not-so-obvious advantages of the LightScalpel CO₂ laser system are a touch screen interface with customizable controls that simplify laser usage, and improved laser pulsing modalities for a vast range of pulsing rates and pulse energies.

For those still using old and large articulated arm CO₂ lasers, it is time to upgrade!
