A CO2 laser for surgical research.
TLDR
In this article, an integrated CO2 laser and beam manipulator designed specifically for surgical research work is descirbed, and operational characteristics of the instrument relevant to such work are reported.Abstract:
The characteristics of CO2 lasers that render them interesting for surgical applications are reviewed. An instrument consisting of an integrated CO2 laser and beam manipulator, designed specifically for surgical research work, is descirbed. Operational characteristics of the instrument relevant to such work are reported. An accessory for endoscopic surgery is described and instrumentation for microsurgery is discussed. Surgical researches now in progress with this instrument are mentioned.read more

TL;DR: In seven dogs, anesthetized and heparinized, bleeding ulcers caused by hot acid jets stopped after five seconds of laser radiation, and the rapid production of hemostasis leads to consideration of the CO2laser in certain poor-risk patients who have massive bleeding from gastric erosions.
