UltraLase Flexible CO2 Laser Waveguide

The UltraLase Flexible CO2 Laser Waveguide is indicated for use with CO2 laser systems for general and plastic surgery procedures, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology, oral surgery, oto-rhino-laryngology, podiatry, gynecology and urology procedures. It is used to deliver laser energy for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissues. The UltraLase Flexible CO2 Laser Waveguide can be used in open surgical procedures and endoscopic procedures. The indications for use for which the delivery system is used are dependent upon the cleared indications for use of the laser system and laser system accessories to which it is attached.

The UltraLase Flexible CO2 Laser Waveguides are laser delivery systems for use in surgical procedures where a flexible delivery system would allow easier and more efficient delivery of laser energy to the targeted tissue. The waveguide consists of a flexible silica capillary who's inside wall has been coated with a durable coating that is highly reflective at the intended wavelength of use. A fiber optic connector is attached to the proximal end of the waveguide and the waveguide is covered with a protective sleeve. The UltraLase Flexible CO2 Laser Waveguide is designed to operate at 10.6µm and has a broad enough transmission band to accommodate any laser operating in this region. The laser energy is coupled into the waveguide using the correct focusing lens and travels down the waveguide by multiple bounces off the inner reflective surface, exiting to the tissue at the distal end. The laser waveguides have either a 905 SMA connector or a 953 ST connector attached and can therefore be used with any CO2 Laser that is compatible with one of these connectors. The waveguides are 2 meters long. It is recommended that a purge gas be used to flow a gas through the waveguide to keep the inner channel of the waveguide free of debris. The waveguides delivery systems are supplied sterile for single use.
