## Intended Use

The BURANE is intended to be used in small and large joint arthroscopy, laparoscopic procedures, general and all surgical procedures for incision/excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue and cartilage. All soft tissues encountered in all surgical procedures are included in this indication such as, skin, cutaneous tissue, subcutaneous tissue, straited and smooth tissue, muscle, cartilage, meniscus, mucous membrane, lymph vessels and nodes, organs and glands. The BURANE is indicated for use in skin resurfacing. The BURANE is indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following medical specialities: Dermatology, Plastic Gastroenterology, ENT, Thoracic Surgery, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Ophtalmology & Podiatry.

## Device Story

BURANE is an Er:YAG laser system (2.94 µm wavelength) for dermatological and surgical soft tissue interventions. Device utilizes high water absorption of 2.94 µm wavelength to achieve precise tissue ablation with minimal thermal damage. Physician selects parameters including spot size, laser energy, pulse sequence, and coagulation mode to tailor treatment to individual patient requirements. Used by surgeons and clinicians in clinical settings for procedures ranging from skin resurfacing to internal organ resection. Output is laser energy delivered to target tissue; enables controlled incision, excision, vaporization, and coagulation. Benefits include optimized wound healing and reduced thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data presented. Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Er:YAG laser system; 2.94 µm wavelength; Ablation and Coagulation modes. Adjustable parameters: spot size, laser energy, pulse sequence. Class II medical device.

## Regulatory 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.

Furthermore, the laser system enables a quick, precise ablation with minimal r arthernore, the lamage. Thus an optimal wound healing process is achieved thornial toous admission is minimized. This is due to the BURANE's wavelength of 2.94 µm, which has an absorption maximum in water and is wavelong. I of Elect pery well by tissue water. The thermal damage zone is thus minimized.

While the parameter wavelength is specified by the device, spot size, laser energy, pulse sequence, and coagulation function can be selected by the treating physician for optimal adjustment to individual requirements.
