    This area of the site never has anything concerning CO2. I have the Opus Duo (ErYag and CO2). I don’t use the Er a lot, but I love the CO2. It blows away my diode at just about anything you can imagine. I use it for frenulectomies, troughing, gingivectomies,…..Fast, fast, fast.
    Hasn’t anyone else fallen in love with this great wavelength???

    There does not seem to be that many CO2users around.
    How about psoting some cases.
    I find it odd that you don’t use the Er that much. I was talking with another Opus user at the ALD and they also don’t use the Er. I could not imagine being with out my Er lasers..

    I really need to get a good camera. I’ve done some interesting things with the CO2 that I would never have touched with a scalpel.  
    Last week I removed a Lipoma on the lower lip of a pt.  He had it for over two years and nobody ever suggested removing it.  It really bothered him.

    Neatest thing you’ve ever seen.

    Made a semilunar incision around periphery, squeezed the lesion and pushed the lipoma upward through the incision, grabbed it with forceps, undermined until removed.  The junction of the lipoma and connective tissue was amazingly clear.  Nice, clean, fast procedure, three sutures… Voila.

    I imagine I could have used my ErYag or diode, but they would be messy or slow.

    I think you have to stop it. I could be harmful for you.
