Pleasanton, CA - April 6, 2006 - LISA Laser USA, Inc. announced that two clinical papers will be presented at the American Society for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery Conference 2006 (ASLMS) in Boston, MA, April 5th to April 9th.

Neurosurgery

The first paper will be presented by Dr. R. Verdaasdonk entitled “Interventional Neuroendoscopy Using a Continuous Wave 2micron Laser for the Treatment of Hydrocephalus” and will review the European results that have been achieved using this unique and safe laser technology. Patients as young as a few days old to over eighty years old have been successfully treated and many of whom have not required a shunt. Only a laser with shallow penetration in tissue and one that produces no mechanical trauma can be used in such a sensitive area of the body. Other lasers either have a deep penetration in tissue damaging structures outside of the surgical field or cause a violent bubble effect which in turn can produce mechanical trauma.

Otolaryngology

The second paper “Thermal Effects of Thulium and Carbon Dioxide Lasers on Excised Calf Vocal Folds” will be given by Dr. Jim Burns. The advantage that the RevoLix has over the Carbon Dioxide is that it is fiber delivered and can be used both in the Operating Room and in the Office. Also the RevoLix laser produces better hemostasis so that bloodless surgical procedures can be performed, reducing OR time and morbidity. Many procedures can now be performed endonasally in the Office dramatically reducing the cost.

LISA laser has utilized unique technology to develop RevoLix, a Continuous Wave 2micron laser which is the first innovation in surgical lasers in almost ten years. RevoLix is the only CW 2micron Laser in the world that has been approved for medical procedures in the U.S. market and it overcomes many of the problems associated with pulsed lasers when being used for ablation and incision of soft tissue. Visualization is vastly improved because of the lack of the ?bubble effect?. Lower laser powers are needed to produce a smoother incision with much less trauma to surrounding structures. ?I believe that we will see many new surgical applications both in the Operating Room and in the Office?, said Dr. Teichmann.
