At the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Michael Hinni is treating throat cancer with a new CO2 laser fiber, the "OmniGuide", that enables minimally invasive endoscopic resections of the tumor. The novel BeamPath fibers are flexible, they can bend the laser light and are used as a precise and surgical scalpel to remove the cancer without any skin incisions or scars.
