OmniGuide
OmniGuide, Inc. has developed the BeamPath CO2
laser fiber for minimally invasive microsurgical cutting and
coagulation. CO2 laser energy offers unparalleled precision
and a high degree of control over penetration into soft tissue.
The surgical therapies that utilize the OmniGuide
technology involve operations in and around delicate tissue
structures, particularly endoscopic pituitary procedures, head and
neck cancers, laryngeal lesions, airway obstructions and respiratory
papillomas.
Over twenty-thousand CO2 lasers have
already been placed in operating rooms throughout the world, with
most having a rigid articulating arm that provides only a
‘line-of-sight’ capability, limiting the surgeon to procedures where
a ‘line-of-site’ from outside the patient’s body is possible. The
OmniGuide fiber is fitted to this existing base of CO2
laser systems, and expands the applicability of the hospital's
installed CO2 lasers. The physician
now has the ability to place the OmniGuide laser fiber into the
patient’s body under endoscopic (camera) guidance to treat lesions
within the skull base, airway and larynx.
