The new Digital AcuBlade^TM from Lumenis® represents a leap forward in otolaryngology. This next generation laser delivery system adds robotic capabilities to CO2 laser microsurgery. AcuBlade combines the SurgiTouch^TM computerized laser scanning system with an operating microscope, permitting highly uniform, user-defined control over incision length, ablation area and penetration depth during procedures. With the new Digital AcuBlade system for robotic laser microsurgery, Lumenis continues its commitment to developing innovative products for ENT specialists.

• Automation yields a 30% reduction in operating time compared to conventional CO2 microsurgery
• Dramatic simplification of procedures and minimal bleeding lead to a stress-free environment for physicians
• Precision control enables uniform incision or ablation in a single laser scan
• User-defined parameters provide accurate control over incision length, ablation area and penetration depth
• Shaped cutting and enhanced surgical control avoids injury to vocal ligaments
• Reduced thermal damage to surrounding tissue promotes quicker healing
  

Two Operating Modes

Linear
The Digital AcuBlade's precise linear incision and shaped cutting capabilities enable successful treatment of vocal cord diseases, including nodules, polyps, cysts, and vocal cord paralysis. These procedures can be executed without injuring vocal ligaments, which could result in major changes in a patient's voice. The control available with AcuBlade reduces operating time and ensures patient safety. It can also be used in other specialized otolaryngology procedures, such as Zenker's Diverticulum.

Circular
With its circular ablation pattern, the Digital AcuBlade treats recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) and can further debulk other tissues (neoplasia). The superficial ablation removes papillomas with minimal thermal damage in the glottic larynx. Using the AcuBlade for vocal surgery accelerates healing time and diminishes the occurrence of complications.
