Abstract
A laser device particularly suitable for use in surgery includes a housing and a laser beam oscillation device elastically mounted within the housing. The laser beam oscillation device includes an elongated support stand which extends substantially vertically within the housing and through an opening in the top of the housing, and a laser beam resonator such as a CO.sub.2 laser is mounted on the support stand to provide a laser beam having an optical axis. A laser beam transmitting arrangement is connected to the support stand coaxially with the optical axis of the laser beam. As a result of this construction, the laser device occupies significantly less floor area within an operating room, and can easily be moved about while maintaining optical alignment at all times.
