Laser Surgery for Mucoceles Excision

A mucocele is a salivary gland cyst containing mucus. It is mainly caused by minor salivary glands.

Mucoceles manifests as a conspicuous painless enlargement of the mucosa with a fluctuant sensation indicating fluid contents.

The cyst forms due to the retention of mucus within the gland, because of the rupture of the gland or obstruction of the cyst.

It is most usually found on the lower lip but also occurs frequently on the buccal mucosa (over the cheeks) or the floor of the mouth.

To avoid intraoperative surgical complications like bleeding and oedema and to enable better healing, excision can be done using a diode laser in the wavelength of 980 nm.

The FDA Portable Surgery Diode Laser System LASER-1.2B was designed expressly to fulfill that wavelength requirement.

To explain in more detail, the tissue components haemoglobin and melanin of the lip/mouth interact more with this device’s blue laser light even at reduced power.

As a nutshell, LASER-1.2B can do better and gentler bloodless, painless Mucoceles removals.

What also makes the LASER-1.2B highly recommended by oral surgeons is that it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during micro-surgery. All due to its green aiming beam.

Furthermore, to ensure improved result, the gadget is backed by a fiber guiding laser. This fiber is suitable for a variety of endoscopic applications. It is also sterilisable, which avoids cross-infections while ensuring a clean and bloodless operating space.

Accordingly, patients should not fear any possible thermal side damages.

Moreover, the complete absence of water absorption in the device helps drastically reduce the overheating of the surrounding tissues.

This should eliminate any possible after-effects which, in turn, will reinforce the laser treatment’s effectiveness.

To sum up, Because of all of these advantages and more, the LASER-1.2 B ensures the success of Mucoceles removals more effectively than surgical procedures.
