CONTINUOUS WAVE LASER SURGICAL DEVICE

摘要

A laser surgical device that utilizes a continuous wave laser that has a wavelength such that the laser beam when focused at the surface of the tissue or point of contact is nearly totally absorbed at the surface to thereby allow the device to function as a cutting instrument without having adverse effects upon other portions of the body or tissues that are beneath the surface. The laser is mounted for movement so that a physician can manually manipulate the laser beam in a back and forth motion to make an opening of desired depth. The laser also has controls for controlling the length of time the laser is on and the power that is supplied to the laser.
