Benefits of Lumenis FiberLase™ Technology for Endometriosis to Be Presented by Leading Gynecologic Surgeons

YOKNEAM, Israel, May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumenis Ltd., the world's largest energy-based medical device company for surgical, aesthetic and ophthalmic applications, today announced that it will share new clinical data on its CO₂ laser-based FiberLase™ Technology for minimally invasive treatment of endometriosis at the upcoming Society of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders (SEUD) Congress 2019 in Montreal, Canada, May 16-18. During the congress, gynecologists specializing in minimally invasive surgery using the Lumenis FiberLase Technology will share their experience with the Lumenis CO₂ laser for the treatment of endometriosis and other indications in gynecology.

"We are excited to see our FiberLase CO₂ Laser Technology receiving meaningful recognition for its clinical benefits from leaders in the gynecology community," said Tzipi Ozer-Armon, CEO of Lumenis. "Together with our partners in the SEUD and the broader MIGS community, we are committed to improving the standard of care in gynecology and raising awareness for the benefits of our CO2 technology, particularly its ability to effectively treat endometriosis while preserving patient fertility."

"The FiberLase flexible CO₂ fiber allows us to treat endometriosis of all degrees and types, with minimal negative impact on the ovaries, allowing us to preserve patients' fertility," said Dr. Antonio R. Gargiulo, REI and reproductive surgeon, Center for Infertility and Reproductive Surgery and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston; and Medical Director of Robotic Surgery for Brigham Health, who will narrate a Lumenis live surgery event at SEUD Congress 2019. "An added advantage to using the CO₂ laser for myomectomy is that it can be very effectively used in the chance of concurrent endometriosis findings, which is very common in my practice."

The advantages of the FiberLase Technology will be showcased at SEUD Congress 2019 in a series of plenary and video sessions by leading international opinion leaders:
