StudyLaser - CO2 Surgical Laser Mechanism

The 10,000 nanometers wavelength of co2 surgical lasers is highly absorbed by the water chromophore and triggers direct cell vaporisation. Thermolysis is easily achieved. This type of laser is fast and efficient for any type of tissue, including bone surgery. This is the biggest advantage of co2 lasers. However, because photons are absorbed by water, these types of lasers also generates a lot of thermal damage in the surrounding tissue, which means oedema, inflammation, and pain posed laser treatment with longer recovery. Another downside is due to the nature of far infrared photons which contain low energy. Imagine you wish to destroy something throwing an object at a large rock, high energy photons would require less effort from your arm than throwing a pebble low energy photons. For this reason, co2 lasers tend to require considerable power over 100 watts with specific electric requirements in the laser room. They also tend to generate a lot of heat from this power and often require a cooling system attached to the laser unit. Consequently, co2 lasers are usually very heavy, over 100 kilograms, not transportable, and their maintenance often more specific and costly.
