(1888PressRelease) June 15, 2016 - Lumenis Ltd., the world's largest energy-based medical device company for surgical, aesthetic and ophthalmic applications, launchesthe UltraPulseDUO CO2 advanced laser platform alongside LINK, a new communication channel for ENT medical professionals,at the 11th congress of the European Laryngological Society (ELS), taking placein Genoa, Italy, from June8-11, 2016.

For years, UltraPulse has been synonymous for precision in transoral laser microsurgery. The new UltraPulse DUO features the ultra-precise Digital AcuBlade scanning micromanipulator capabilities and highCO2 laser fiber energy within the same platform. By seamlessly alternating between the two energy deliveries, surgeons can access challenging anatomy beyond their line-of-sight and treat hard-to-reach areas with great delicacy and precision.

"Providing precise, individualized patient care can be challenging for ENT surgeons because of the broad spectrum of surgical situations that can arise during the procedure," commented Marc Remacle, M.D., Ph.D., Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg. "With the combined modality of the CO2 laser and the easy shift between free beam and fiber deliveries I can delicately address any clinical challenge whilepreserving healthy tissue, which is very important for the patient's recovery and comfort."

This unique combination of two laser energy deliveries is available only with the Lumenis' DUO platforms, which also includes theAcuPulse™ DUO, which is the first integrated CO2 laser system. Both the UltraPulse DUO and the AcuPulse DUO systems are accompanied by a wide range of surgical accessories, along with cost effective fibers that feature renewable tips, an aiming beam and high energy transmission.The versatile Lumenis DUO product line is designed for smart tissue management and for optimal treatment of hard-to-reach delicate anatomy and is the result of the strong collaboration with the ENT community.
