Overview

For surgical applications in urology the Two Micron continuous wave laser is used at a maximum of 70 watt. This laser system was developed by LISA laser products specifically for incision, VapoResection and excision of soft tissue. Tissue vaporisation and cutting is outstanding with respect to speed, haemostasis and minimized necrosis. Vessels up to app. 1.5 mm in diameter are closed while the damage zone is less than 1 mm. The necrotic zone of resected prostate tissue is app. 0.2 mm as shown in histologies.

VapoResection of prostate (VPR) by use of the RevoLix DUO laser is highly efficient, safe and economic for the treatment of BPH. In contrary to other lasers the RevoLix VapoResection procedure is performed with reusable front firing bare fibres. VapoResection makes tissue samples available for subsequent histological examination.

Holmium pulsed laser for lithotripsy:

Lithotripsy in the lower, medical and upper tract by rigid and flexible instruments is accomplished by the integrated 20 watt holmium laser. Laser pulses of 7,000 watt peak power fragment any urinary stone irrespective of the chemical composition. Highly flexible laser fibres are most suitable for ureterorenoscopy of the lower calixes by flexible instruments.

Both laser units of the RevoLix DUO are combined in one single fibre coupler. This becomes advantageous in cases like a bladder stone is found during VapoResection of the prostate.

For the fragmentation of this stone there is no need to change instrumentation, fibre or laser. The Holmium laser is easily activated at the console. After successful fragmentation the laser is switched back to Two Micron continuous wave laser to finalize the VapoResection procedure.
