A carbon dioxide laser in action from South Korea's Lutronic. It's for oral surgery. For a demo, the representative is cutting an incision into a pig mandible. He also has a hot dog filled with screws. The laser can make spots as small as 100 microns. For patients, the advantage is faster healing time and far less bleeding. Price? $33,000.
