CO2 laser ENT microsurgery: the password is Mini-invasiveness
DEKA's new CO
2 laser systems with incorporated electronic control system for scanning, are decisive steps forwards towards easier, faster, safer, and more efficacious surgery. The well-known advantages of CO
2 laser surgery are further enhanced by the lasers of the Smartxide HS line coupled with the
HiScan Surgical scanner and
Easyspot micromanipulator.
Perfect control of the thermal damage, cutting and ablation figures with the size and depth established by the user.
All the main functions are controlled directly on the joystick by the surgeon who never has to take his/her eyes off the microscope.

- Simplicity
- Speed
- Mini-invasiveness
- Low morbility
- Possibility of operating on elderly and/or debilitated patients and/or those with pacemakers
