Cortex Laser System

The CO2 laser is indicated for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of body soft tissues in medical specialties including aesthetic (dermatology and plastic surgery), podiatry, otolaryngology (ENT), gynecology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, general and thoracic surgery (including open and endoscopic), dental and oral surgery and genitourinary surgery. The use with the scanning unit is indicated for ablative skin resurfacing.

The CO2 System is intended for use in surgical applications requiring the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in dermatology and plastic surgery, general surgery.

Dermatology, Plastic Surgery and General Surgery procedures:
• Laser skin resurfacing.
• Treatment of furrows and wrinkles.
• Removal of skin tags, actinic keratosis, acne scars, keloids, tattoos, telangiectasia, squamous and basal cell carcinoma, warts and uneven pigmentation.
• Treatment of cysts, abscesses, hemorrhoids and other soft tissue applications.
• Blepharoplasty.
• Site preparation for hair transplants.
• The fractional scanner is for skin resurfacing.

The Er:YAG handpiece is designed specifically for superficial skin ablation resulting in skin dermabrasion, and the treatment of wrinkles. In addition this system is intended for coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue (skin) in dermatology, plastic surgery (including aesthetic surgery).

The Cortex system and controls are contained in a single console. Electrical power is supplied to the console by the facility's power source. The CO2 laser is delivered via an articulated arm that is permanently attached to the console. The Er:YAG handpiece attaches to a port on the console and contains the laser cavity in the head of the handpiece. The user interface is a touch screen located on the console. The user activates the laser emission by means of a footswitch.
