Description

LASER Application Instrument, 23 cm, REF: 8694; LEUNIG-GREVERS LASER Application, REF: 461000

Reason

Laser surgical instruments have no specific evidence of a validated reprocessing method, therefore these instruments lack sterility assurance, so once the instruments have gone through reprocessing after use and then are used again, there is an increased risk of the patient being exposed to infection.
