Lumenis Announces FDA Clearance for Laser Contact Bone Removal
OpusDuoTM Er:YAG is First Laser System Cleared for Contact Thermal Mechanical Ablation of Bone
Yokneam, Israel
January 03, 2005
Lumenis® Ltd. LUME.PK, and OpusDent™ Ltd., its dental laser division, announced the FDA clearance of the OpusDuo™ Er:YAG laser system for contact bone removal during oral surgical and periodontal procedures. This represents the first ever FDA clearance for contact cutting of bone tissue in dentistry and is based on the precise and safe Thermal Mechanical Ablation (TMA) of bone utilizing the company’s proprietary contact sapphire tip.
“Lumenis is pleased to extend its 39-year track record of pioneering groundbreaking laser systems with novel applications,” said Avner Raz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lumenis, the parent company of OpusDent. “We believe this clearance paves the way for dental professionals to achieve unparalleled clinical results by staying in contact with calcified bony tissue. Contact bone removal using our OpusDuoTM laser system sets a new benchmark for oral and periodontal surgery in the US and provides dentists and oral surgeons the most effective laser systems on the market.”
Lumenis reviewed this new application with over 100 US and international dental professionals at the December Symphony of Light Laser Education Symposium in Las Vegas, NV. Dr. Eric Bornstein of Natick, MA, who assisted Lumenis with the FDA application, said, “FDA clearance for the ‘contact cutting’ of bone is one of the most significant milestones ever reached in the dental laser field. This will allow practitioners using the OpusDuoTM to actually feel the laser hand-piece make contact with the bony tissues being ablated, instead of the previous method, of having to point and shoot in a surgical field.”
