Acclaimed Laser Surgeon compares laser beam delivery systems

Dr. John C. Godbold, Jr., DVM, an acclaimed authority on surgical CO2 Lasers, compares delivery systems in his most recent article reproduced with his permission on Aesculight's web-site at http://www.aesculight.com/through_the_handpiece.php

John C. Godbold, Jr., DVM, Stonehaven Park Veterinary Hospital Laser Surgery Center, Jackson, Tennessee, is the most-requested speaker on CO2 laser surgery in veterinary medicine. It is estimated that he has trained over 4,000 colleagues. He has conducted over 160 continuing education events, wet labs, and workshops in USA, Canada and Europe. In addition to teaching, he has worked with over 10 laser equipment manufacturers in the design, development and testing of laser devices, device software, and accessories. Equally important has been Dr. Godbold's role in the development of techniques and procedures using the CO2 laser. He has published in the Journal of the AVMA, Laserpoints, and the Newsletter of the Veterinary Laser Surgical Society. In 2002 he published the widely acclaimed CD Atlas of CO2 Laser Surgery Procedures. This publication, updated each year since, has been distributed across the world to over 7,000 colleagues. Excerpts from Dr. Godbold's CD Atlas are incorporated into the software of several manufacturers' laser devices.

Key points in Dr. Godbold's article -

  • Hollow waveguide (HWG) lasers are new technology.
  • Articulated arm (AA) lasers are old technology.
  • HWG lasers are lighter, thinner, more flexible and more ergonomic.
  • AA lasers are heavier, thicker, bulkier, and less ergonomic.
  • HWG lasers have a shorter "tip to tissue" distance and are more precise.
  • HWG lasers offer multiple spot sizes. AA lasers do not.
  • HWG lasers offer greater surgeon control of beam configuration.
  • HWG lasers give the surgeon the benefit of rapid defocusing.
  • HWG lasers calibrate externally where the laser beam exits the laser.
  • AA lasers calibrate internally, if at all, long before the laser beam exits the laser.
  • The claim that HWG "fibers" require frequent replacement is a myth.
  • The claim that HWG focusing tips are expensive disposables is a myth.
