OmniGuide optic fibers



OmniGuide offers the very first disposable fiber delivery system for CO2 laser beams. The CO2 laser offers unparalleled precision and a high degree of control over penetration into soft tissue. These attributes are critical in soft tissue procedures in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, and pulmonology for which the potential damage to delicate untargeted structures and possible rupture of underlying blood vessels is a significant risk. Indeed 20,000 CO2 lasers have been deployed in operating rooms throughout the world. However, until now CO2 lasers have been precluded from minimally invasive surgery due to the absence of a fiber delivery system at their wavelength of operation.
