Technology
The technology is based on the revolutionary photonic bandgap fiber invented at MIT, published in Nature and Science, and subsequently licensed exclusively to the company.[3] The first flexible fiber-optic surgical scalpel capable of delivering CO2 laser light has been developed using this technology.[1][4] This allows the beam to pass into previously inaccessible areas of the body.[5]
