OmniGuide today announced the FDA clearance and commercial launch of its new OTO-U CO2 laser system fiber for use in ENT and otology surgery.

The new fiber is designed to enable the surgeon to get into a tighter space with more precision and improve procedure outcomes, according to the Lexington, Mass.-based company.

“OTO-U surgical fiber is the outcome of a multiple-year investment in product development to meet the needs of the versatile CO2 surgical fiber user,” said OmniGuide managing director Matthew Rice in a news release. “We are excited to release OTO-U and look forward to its enhanced visibility and small 147-micron tissue target size in combination with our portfolio of advanced laser energy systems and flexible Instruments for robotic surgery.”
