Indications for Use
Adverse effects
CAUTION -
Adequate suction must be maintained when using the laser to
treat any pathology suspected to be of viral origin. This is to limit the possibility
of spread of any virus that may exist in the laser plume.
CAUTION -
Complications of laser therapy are the same as complications for
any other procedure. Some of these complications may be serious and could
result in death.
Pain
The extent and duration of pain following laser therapy is usually minimal but
is dependent upon the surgical procedure.
Sepsis
The possibility of infection must be considered and treated accordingly in any
surgical procedure. Laser interaction with tissue sterilizes only the treated area.
Bleeding
Coagulation is the primary tissue effect of the Novus Spectra laser. The
possibility of postoperative bleeding must be considered following the
sloughing of tissue. Observation for bleeding by postoperative hematocrit
evaluation and dressing evaluations should be considered.
Fluid overload
Mild edema and minimal electrolyte changes may occur from prolonged
procedures and absorption of the distention media.
