I was reading an article by Karl Hausner,President
of Elmed corporation comparing Laser vs Elcectorsurgery.

That the laser has a cut that is more uniform.

Targeting of the laser beam requires an expensive optical system

Equipment must be kept in perfect working condition
and technical requirments fulfilled

Surgical accidents with both laser and electrosurgery
have been reported.Most were caused by lack of attention
and respect for proper

With laser surgery there is a large amount of smoke
at high temperatures

With electorsurgery it is at lower temperatures

A rule of thumb states that each ouptput watt from a laser
costs $1,000 as compared to $10 for electrosurgery

The average laser costs $20,000 to $50,000 while the electrosurgical units costs between $1,000 and $5,000.

Repair maintenance costs are on a similar relationship
Electrosurgical units are relatively reliable and nits
repair rarely exceeds 20% of the purchase price.

"THE LASER: "STILL A BRIDESMAID TBUT NOT THE BRIDE"
SAYS DRS.bRODAMAN AND REYNIAK


Anyone have any thoughts to add to this?
