Surgical laser

[mayama]

Hello, my name is maya, I’m researching co2 medical laser and very interested in hearing your opinion about it in the medical field, I read in websites such as www.mediclase.com (http://www.mediclase.com/) that surgical laser reduces significantly surgical bleeding, pain and healing time and has greater accuracy, it seems they have very portable and small instruments comparing to what is being used in the market (http://www.mediclase.com/laser_surgery.asp (http://www.mediclase.com/laser_surgery.asp)) can you please comment on that, if you ever used it and know the benefits and price range.

Nowadays a lot of surgery is done with a "bovie" which is an electrical cauterizing instrument that looks like a pencil and can cut and cauterize tissue with heat. Bovie's are small, disposable and cheap.

This laser thing (from their website) looks like expensive and unwieldly, I don't see an immediate benefit.
