Tissue Interaction
Why 2micron?
In an aqueous medium the laser effect to tissue is restricted to less than 2 millimetres in front of the tip of the fibre. Any tissue further afield is shielded of by the medium. The same mechanism is protecting tissue and organs adjacent to the cut. Any tissue more distant than 2 millimetre is unaffected by the RevoLix laser. Opposed to KTP this property eliminates the risk of unintentional tissue damage during laser surgery.
The 2micron wavelength at 2.0 micron is known for its suitability for resection and ablation, safe application in an aqueous medium and it generates excellent haemostasis.
These properties are due to the efficient absorption at this wavelength by water which is ubiquitous in any tissue. Other than hemoglobin water retains its absorptive properties under the temperature increase in tissue caused by the laser. This explains the everlasting ablation efficiency during 2micron laser treatment.
Cutting efficiency of soft tissue and haemostasis is superior to any known alternative. Tissue damage is restricted to less than 1 millimetre beneath the cut
