AR Photoniccs series surgical laser is a desktop device based on Holmium (Ho:YAG) laser with emission at 2100 nm wavelength. This wavelength is highly absorbed by water and biological tissue providing excellent cutting, ablation and hemostatic properties. The limited radiation penetration (0.3–0.4 mm) results in minimal damages to surrounding tissue. The Potent XP series surgical laser automatically adjusts the emission settings based on fiber diameter and selected mode.
Orange and blue pedals can be used to easily switch for example between "Power Fragmentation" and "Popcorning". An additional standby function allows the user to activate/deactivate the laser as needed.
ARPhotoniccs HP Series holmium laser system is the ideal solution for stone and BPH treatment in urology as well as other interventions across a range of specialties:
Calculi in the bladder, ureter or kidney are fragmented by rapid evaporation of residual water inside the stone upon absorption of the laser radiation. At the long pulse setting the ARPhotonics Holmium laser does not apply external kinetic force, thus preventing the calculi from being pushed further inside the ureter.
The ARPhotonics Flexible reusable laser fiber insertion sheath provides protection of the flexible scope against damage during insertion of the laser fiber. Please refer to our laser fiber brochure.
ARPhotonics Holmium lasers offer different treatment modalities for BPH. Depending on the surgical situation and the delivery system used the adenoma may be resected, enucleated (HOLEP) or ablated (HoLAP). All treatment modalities benefit from the excellent haemostatic properties of the ARPhotonics Holmium laser which is provided by the long pulse duration in the tissue mode. The patient benefits from the bloodless laser treatment, early catheter removal, immediate symptomatic improvement, better urinary flow and a shorter hospital stay. Resected tissue is available for subsequent biopsy.
ARPhotoniccs Laser System can be operated with a large range of fibers, depending on the application, flexibility and settings required.
