Explanation of Holmium Laser

Variable Pulse Width
Variable pulse width laser is an exclusive Convergent patented technology which allows the clinician to switch from stone fragmentation to soft tissue coagulation with a touch of the control screen. Short pulses (i.e. 350us) are ideal for stone fragmentation and minimal lateral thermal damage. Long pulses (i.e. 700 microseconds) are ideal for soft tissue procedures with efficacious tissue coagulation.
Green Aiming Beam
Green aiming beam allows the clinician to see the targeted tissue in a red surgical fluid medium. Convergent engineers have incorporated the latest green KTP diode laser in the Odyssey and built in adjustable brightness to provide the best visible contrast for added safety and ease of use.
Precise Power Delivery
The solid-state switching power supply in the Odyssey 30 precisely controls the energy being delivered to the laser cavity. This patented technology insures precise power delivery and pulse-to-pulse uniformity. The Odyssey 30 power delivery is measured at the operating plane or at tissue and not out of the laser resonator cavity as with some other Holmium lasers. Approximately 20% of the laser energy is lost between the laser resonator cavity and the operating plane. Thus, Odyssey 30 is truly a 30 watt laser at tissue.
Coherent 60 Watt Versa-Pulse

. . 60 watt Holmium: YAG Laser minimizes deep tissue heating and the resulting thermal damage. Holmium laser energy is fully absorbed into the first one-half millimeter of tissue. Stone treatment is the primary function of holmium energy with complete stone fragmentation of any and all stones. Uses of the Holmium are included in Arthoscopy, Urology, Stone treatment, Sinus, Gynecology, Spine, TMJ, and General surgery.
. . Here are some points of interest about this laser: Modular design provides performance with 60 watt output. Compact size and reduced weight simplifies transportation and setup. This is the new generation of compact, high performance surgical lasers for urology,
orthopedics and ENT.

Indigo Laser Optic Treatment System
. .This service is provided by Pacific Prostate Treatment L.L.C. The Indigo LaserOptic Treatment System is design specifically to treat symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the median and lateral lobes. Its diode laser and specialized fiberoptics form an integrated system that offers a simple, yet intelligent approach to the treatment of BPH. Interstitial Laser Coagulation (ILC) is accomplished with the LaserOptic(TM) Treatment System's unique tissue adaptive feature that automatically controls temperatures and produces necrosis at precise points within the prostate.
. . . .This approach is designed to minimize damage to critical peripheral structures, while preserving the prostatic urethra. Overall, the Indigo LaserOptic Treatment System provides a positive, economical approach to the treatment of BPH. To learn more about the Indigo LaserOptic Treatment System, click here.
Nd: YAG Laser - 100 watt
. . . .Has applications in specialties including Gastroenterology, General Gynecology, ENT, and Urology. The Nd: YAG laser wavelength has urological applications for ablation of the prostate and early treatment of tumors of the bladder mucosa. Other urological uses include Condyloma, Acuminata, Ureteral and Urethral tumors and strictures, Penile Carcinoma and lesions.
