Medical Lasers

Thermoelectric Coolers and Assemblies for Medical Applications

Introduction

Medical lasers are designed for use in hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, and physician offices. They combine cutting, ablation, and coagulation properties for precise, virtually bloodless procedures; minimizing thermal damage to the surrounding tissue and increasing recovery time. They also sanitize the area through the heat of the laser, destroying any microbiological bodies that could lead to infection.

It combines cutting, ablation, and coagulation properties for precise, virtually bloodless procedures; minimizing thermal damage to the surrounding tissue and shortening recovery time. The heat of the laser also destroys any microbiological bodies that could lead to infection. Laser systems also generate waste heat, and require sophisticated cooling systems to remove this heat and keep the laser stable and operating at peak performance during operation. Due to size constraints, power consumption requirements, and noise restrictions thermal management can be challenging.
