“Introducing the GMS 4500 system: A mobile, safe, and cost-effective surgical laser for a practice of
any size.” The CO2 laser, with a specific wavelength of 10.6um can be absorbed by patient body
tissue (no matter what color the skin is) almost 100%, with the laser slightly passing through the skin.
It is the heat and electromagnetic effect of the laser that people use to conduct non-blood or
bloodless cutting, cauterizing, gasification and accurate microsurgery. Most optical knives use CO2
laser source.
