Indications for Use

For use in dermatology for incision, excision, ablation, and vaporization with hemostasis of soft tissue; for treatment of fine lines and wrinkles; for mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris; for back acne and atrophic scarring, and; for podiatry, (incision, excision, and coagulation of soft tissue) including matrixectomy, periungal and subungal warts, plantar warts, radical nail excision, and neuromas.

Device Story

CoolTouch CT3PZ is an Nd:YAG surgical laser system emitting at 1320 nm. System comprises a cabinet housing power supply, cooling system, microcontroller, laser source, and foot switch; energy delivered via fiber optic handpiece. Operated by clinicians in dermatology and podiatry settings for soft tissue procedures. Device transforms electrical energy into laser light for tissue interaction (incision, excision, ablation, coagulation). Output is controlled laser energy; clinician directs handpiece to target tissue. Provides hemostasis during procedures; benefits include precise tissue management for dermatological and podiatric conditions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing data indicating effectiveness for podiatry applications.

Technological Characteristics

Nd:YAG surgical laser; 1320 nm wavelength. System includes cabinet, power supply, cooling system, microcontroller, and fiber optic delivery handpiece. Operated via foot switch. Class II device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for dermatology patients requiring soft tissue incision, excision, ablation, or vaporization; treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris, back acne, and atrophic acne scars; and podiatry patients requiring soft tissue procedures including matrixectomy, wart removal (periungal, subungal, plantar), radical nail excision, and neuroma treatment.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

(1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
