The laryngoscope designed by Kleinsasser is the most suitable for CO2 laser surgery of the larynx. This laryngoscope has been modified by two aspiration tubes mounted on the outside and opening only a short distance above the distal end of the endoscope. The expansion laryngoscope designed by Weerda is very suitable for the hypopharynx. We have shortened this endoscope by 5 cm for work in the oropharynx. The double-cupped forceps designed for microlaryngoscopy was modified by the addition of aspiration tubes. Several instruments have been developed to protect the soft tissues of the larynx from aberrant laser radiation. Their shaft has been fitted with aspiration canals to improve the extraction of smoke.
