Flexible Fiber Technology Enhances Gynecological Laser Surgery

A new small profile fiber optic laser system allows surgeons to perform dissection and superficial tissue vaporization during minimally invasive gynecological procedures.

The BeamPath-GYN carbon dioxide (CO2) laser fiber system is designed to enhance the safety and precision needed by surgeons in gynecology, and is suitable for procedures such as laparoscopic endometriosis treatment, lower genital condyloma and dysplasia, and myomectomy. The system utilizes a flexible fiber technology capable of delivering the laser energy to difficult to reach anatomical locations in intra-vaginal procedures, targeting tissue from any angle while offering no-touch resection and ablation of superficial as well as deep seated vaginal and cervical lesions.


The system's hand-pieces can be used through both 3 mm and 5-mm trocars, eliminating the need for layer closure, and lowering the risk of abdominal wall hernias. Using varying power level and spot size control, the system can be used in four modes to achieve four different tissue interactions; cutting (close to tissue at high power); fine cutting (close to tissue at low power); ablation and coagulation (far from tissue at high power); and superficial peeling (far from tissue at low power). The BeamPath-GYN carbon dioxide (CO2) laser fiber system is a product of OmniGuide (Cambridge, MA, USA), and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

"Our flexible CO2 laser will enable GYN surgeons to minimize the lateral thermal damage to normal tissues significantly when compared to the most precise ablation and coagulation devices that are used in GYN surgery today,” said Yair Schindel, MD, VP of clinical affairs at OmniGuide. "As the gynecology discipline evolves to provide more integrated care extending across fertility, pain management, and overall quality of life, a precise microsurgical tool is well aligned with emerging therapeutic needs.”
