Precision through Optical Guidance

Laser therapy of the cervix requires complete coverage of the transformation zone while sparing healthy tissue. The colposcope enables this delicate balance: under magnification, the lesion boundary is visible, and the laser can be guided precisely.

The CO₂ laser is integrated into the optical path of the colposcope via a micromanipulator. Wherever the practitioner looks, the laser beam also hits. This coaxial guidance allows for precision that cannot be achieved with hand-held lasers.

The magnification shows the treatment effect in real-time during vaporisation. The depth of ablation becomes visible, and the boundary with healthy tissue remains identifiable. Over-treatment and under-treatment are avoided.

The colposcopes of the SOM series are designed for the adaptation of laser systems from leading manufacturers. The robust construction supports the additional weight of the micromanipulator, ensuring positioning remains precise and stable.
