Our diode laser LEONARDO® DUAL 100 offers doctors state-of-the-art technological standards in the field of thoracic surgery and pneumology, guaranteeing minimally invasive and, above all, gentle options for lung and bronchial system surgery. From a large number of operations performed by, among others, the team of PD Dr Steinert at the University Hospital Jena, Germany the wavelength combination of 1470 nm and 980 nm has been proven to be the most effective and reliable combination of wavelenghts. With our specially developed laser fibers, lung metastases, and lung tumors can be resected safely and with hardly any loss of blood.
The laser energy absorbed by the tissue results in simultaneous incision and coagulation, leaving a dry and dense resection surface. The exact resection saves the healthy parenchyma, the tissue of the lung lobes. Even deep, centrally located and recurrent metastases can be dissected and removed selectively. Main applications are:
- Metastasectomy
- Vaporisation of tumors (carcinomas)
- Pulmonary wedge resection of lung tissue
- Resection of multiple and deep lung metastases
- Recurring metastases and tumors
- Hemostasis and sealing fistulas
- Adhesiolysis
- Tissue resection for histological examination
- Coagulation and vaporisation of endo-bronchial tumors and stenosis using the bronchoscope technique
