Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Flexiguide CO2 Laser Hollow Flexible Fiber is a Powered Laser Surgical Instrument designed for precise laser tissue ablation. As a flexible, hollow fiber, it delivers CO2 laser energy through a thin, maneuverable shaft, enabling targeted surgical procedures in confined or delicate anatomical areas. Its construction allows for controlled energy transmission while minimizing collateral thermal damage. This device is classified under product code GEX, intended for use in general and plastic surgery applications.
This device is supplied as a reusable medical instrument and requires appropriate sterilization between uses. It is intended for use in MRI-unsafe environments due to its laser components. The Flexiguide CO2 Laser Hollow Flexible Fiber holds an FDA 510(k) clearance (K900066) under the Traditional clearance type, granted as Substantially Equivalent (SESE) to a predicate device. Storage and handling must comply with standard surgical laser safety protocols to ensure operational integrity and patient safety.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the Flexiguide CO2 Laser Hollow Flexible Fiber used for?
The Flexiguide CO2 Laser Hollow Flexible Fiber is designed for precise laser tissue ablation in surgical procedures. Its flexible, hollow construction allows targeted energy delivery in confined or delicate anatomical areas, reducing collateral thermal damage. This makes it particularly useful in general and plastic surgery applications where precision and minimal tissue disruption are critical.
Is the Flexiguide CO2 Laser Hollow Flexible Fiber single-use or reusable?
This device is supplied as a reusable medical instrument. It requires proper sterilization between uses to maintain safety and functionality. Sterilization protocols must align with standard surgical laser safety guidelines to ensure operational integrity and patient safety.
Can the Flexiguide CO2 Laser Hollow Flexible Fiber be used in MRI environments?
No, the Flexiguide CO2 Laser Hollow Flexible Fiber is intended for use in MRI-unsafe environments. This is due to its laser components, which are incompatible with MRI systems. Always verify the surgical environment’s safety protocols before use.
What safety considerations are important when storing or handling this device?
Storage and handling must comply with standard surgical laser safety protocols to preserve the device’s operational integrity and ensure patient safety. Since it is reusable, proper sterilization between uses is mandatory. Additionally, avoid exposure to conditions that could compromise the fiber’s flexibility or laser delivery system.
What regulatory clearance does the Flexiguide CO2 Laser Hollow Flexible Fiber hold?
The device holds an FDA 510(k) clearance (K900066) under the Traditional clearance type, classified as Substantially Equivalent (SESE) to a predicate device. This clearance confirms its compliance with FDA standards for general and plastic surgery applications.
