Airway and Sleep

Why a LightScalpel CO2 Laser for Airway and Sleep Procedures

LightScalpel supports airway- and sleep-focused clinicians, with applications including frenotomy/frenectomy and soft palate treatment for airway-disorder-related care. Its flexible fiber CO2 laser platform is designed to give clinicians precision, control, and versatility across soft-tissue procedures, while the large spot-size handpiece expands treatment options with non-ablative tissue remodeling capabilities.

For airway-disorder treatment protocols, LightScalpel’s large-spot-size handpiece is specifically designed for intraoral, non-ablative remodeling of soft palate tissue. This gives airway- and sleep-focused clinicians a way to integrate soft palate treatments into practice using the same LightScalpel platform.

A LightScalpel system can help bring multiple airway- and sleep-related soft-tissue applications together on one versatile platform, making it a strong fit for clinicians looking to broaden their airway-focused treatment capabilities.

Everything is going great! I absolutely love this tool, and the releases are just getting better and better every time that I do them as I get more comfortable. Additionally, we have noticed a significant improvement in wound healing and post pain. I appreciate all your expertise and willingness to help.
