Surgical Lasers for use in Urological Applications

The superior performance of the Continuous Wave RevoLix 2 Micron Laser, the RevoLix Jr and SPHINX Holmium laser lasers have made these products a top choice in urological applications. The full line of surgical lasers follows.

RevoLix 2 Micron Surgical Lasers

RevoLix Lasers – The treatment of BPH with lasers has become very popular recently with the advent of photo vaporization. RevoLix has many advantages in this area:

  • Photo Vaporazation and Resection are both available from the same laser.
  • The target chromophore is water, not hemoglobin, this means that complete removal of tissue can be achieved even when there is no hemoglobin.
  • Many other urological procedures such as Bladder tumors and strictures can be performed with reusable fibers

SPHINX Lasers- SPHINX overcomes all other Holmium lasers on the market because of its unique adjustable pulse duration, increasing its application value.

Strictures in the ureter are easily opened, virtually without any bleeding.

Resection of well circulated adenome tissue is required for excellent coagulation and healing. Bloodless resection of the prostate can be obtained by applying the SPHINX laser in long pulse durations. The active cooling system of the SPHINX laser allows extended operation at an elevated ambient temperature.

The low penetration of the SPHINX Holmium laser makes it the ideal instrument for the ablation of bladder tumors. A special aiming beam setting allows the usage together with “photo-dynamic-diagnosis” under blue light illumination.

Regardless of their composition and location, all stones can be fragmented using laser lithotripsy. Upon absorption of the laser radiation, stones are fragmented due to the rapid evaporation of residual water inside the stone. Unlike mechanical and electro-hydrolic systems, the SPHINX Holmium laser does not apply external force. SPHINX lasers allow for the selection of shorter laser pulse durations than any other Holmium laser for more efficient fragmentation and less thermal effects to the surrounding tissue.
