The operating frequency of CO₂ lasers makes them ideal for surgical procedures as the light is readily absorbed by water in skin tissue. This allows them to be used in place of a traditional scalpel, where delicate cutting is required for the treatment of skin imperfections.

A leading manufacturer of CO₂ laser surgical equipment selected TDK-Lambda’s HWS and HWS-A series as their preferred choice of power supply. 30W, 50W and 300W units are being used to match the power level of the CO₂ lasers. 3W CC-E 24V input DC-DC converters are used to produce dual 12V outputs. The HWS series is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, unique in the power industry, giving a lower cost of ownership.
