Brown Fertility director Samuel Brown said the CO2 laser is considered the optimal energy source for endometriosis surgery, but clinical applications were limited due to the cumbersome set-up and inadequate anatomical access associated with older technologies.

"OmniGuide’s device allows me to operate with the clinical advantages of CO2 laser along with the ergonomics and ease-of-use I expect from advanced laparoscopic instruments," Brown added.

"The technology will undoubtedly change the way that endometriosis is treated today, and I am pleased that I can be one of the first to offer it to my patients."

OmniGuide president and CEO Scott Flora said, "Based on the positive feedback we have received from gynecologists, I am confident that our new instrument set will allow us to establish a strong presence in endometriosis surgery."
