Indications for Use
The Cutera GenesisPlus Nd:YAG laser is intended for use in the medical specialties of general and plastic surgery, dermatology, endoscopic.laproscopic general surgery, gastroenterology, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology (ENT), neurosurgery, oculoplastics, orthopedics, pulmonary.thoracic surgery, podiatry and urology for surgical and aesthetic applications.
Device Story
The Cutera GenesisPlus is a console-based Nd:YAG laser system (1064nm) used in dermatology and podiatry. The device delivers laser energy via a fiber optic handpiece with an optical lens. The physician operates the system using a footswitch to activate laser emission. The system features an LCD color touchscreen for parameter control. In dermatology, it targets vascular lesions and wrinkles via coagulation and hemostasis. In podiatry, it performs soft tissue ablation, vaporization, incision, excision, and coagulation, and is used to increase clear nail in onychomycosis patients. The device provides clinical benefit by offering a non-invasive or minimally invasive surgical tool for various dermatological and podiatric conditions. The healthcare provider uses the device to perform procedures directly on the patient, with output parameters adjusted based on the specific clinical indication.
Clinical Evidence
A clinical study was conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the revised treatment parameters for the podiatry indication. The study demonstrated safety and effectiveness for the temporary increase of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis.
Technological Characteristics
1064nm Nd:YAG laser; flashlamp-pumped solid-state rod; 630-680nm aiming beam (≤ 2.5mW); pulsed output mode; 20-3500 mJ energy per pulse; 15-18 J/cm2 fluence (podiatry); 5mm spot size (podiatry); 0.3ms pulse duration (podiatry); 2-3Hz repetition rate (podiatry); LCD color touchscreen interface; footswitch activation; non-sterile, reusable, cleanable delivery handpiece.
Indications for Use
Indicated for coagulation/hemostasis of benign vascular lesions (rosacea, redness, poikiloderma, scars, warts), treatment of wrinkles (periocular/perioral), and podiatric soft tissue procedures (matrixectomy, warts, radical nail excision, neuromas). Indicated for temporary increase of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis (dermatophytes, yeast). Suitable for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin.
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.
