Receives: Device: CO2 laser

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ability to complete procedure with the study device

    The number of interventions that were completed using the AcuPulse WG and FiberLase CO2 Fiber for the intended indication, without the need to revert to other means

    Measured: Immediate - during intervention

  2. Complications (bleeding, perforation, damage to non target tissue)

    Number of subjects with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety

    Measured: During intervention and up to 6 weeks following the procedure
