The LightScalpel LS-4020 CO2 Laser Systems are intended for use in laser surgery procedures for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and/or coagulation of soft tissue in specialties such as: general surgery, dermatology, gynecology, dentistry and oral surgery, otorhinolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, podiatry, and urology.

The LightScalpel LS-4020 laser system, similar to the previously released LS-1005 and LS-2010 laser systems, are mobile platforms that utilize a radio frequency (RF) excited carbon dioxide (CO2) laser tube to produce an infrared beam at a nominal 10.6 µm wavelength at powers adjustable from 2 - 40 Watts Continuous Wave (CW) and 2 to 20 Watts SuperPulse (SP). The systems differ only in the laser tubes used and pre-programmed values in the controlling software, which allow higher laser tube outputs for the LS-2010 and LS-4020 systems. The models of the LS family CO2 Laser systems are based on the size and/or quantity of the laser tube installed. Laser energy is conducted to the point of application by a flexible fiber waveguide and handpiece assembly. Laser system operation is controlled by operator input on a touchscreen display panel. The RF laser drive is modulated to provide additional pulsed and SuperPulse emission modes selected from the laser system control panel. A "calibration port" on the side of the laser systems allows checking and setting the power emitted from the distal laser aperture to the internal power meter and serves as a check on fiber waveguide transmission efficiency. Laser system power, rates, and durations are adjustable. The laser systems have safety features complying with requirements in 21 CFR 1040, Performance Standards for Light Emitting Products.
