Holmium Laser
Sphinx – why Holmium?
Strong absorption – efficient ablation
The pulsed Two Micron laser radiation of the Sphinx Holmium laser is highly absorbed in water and in biological tissue. The laser energy is converted into heat within a depth of the tissue of less than 0.5 mm and thus used for ablation purpose by vaporization of tissue.
Strong absorption – safe operation
In a hydrous solution, the range of the Holmium laser radiation is restricted to the volume immediately in front of the fibre tip thus allowing the safe application also on sensitives surfaces. Tissue more than 5 mm apart from the fibre is screened off by the hydrous solution and will not be affected by the laser radiation.
Short pulses – efficient stone fragmentation
Laser pulses as short as 150 ps make the Sphinx highly effective in the fragmentation of calculi and ablation of hard tissue. The Sphinx Holmium laser is characterized by an extraordinary intense pulse peak power of up to 15 kW.
Long pulses – excellent hemostasis
Long laser pulses of up to 800 ps provide an excellent hemostasis in soft tissue surgery.
Details
Optimized tissue effect due to adjustable pulse duration
Reusable laser applicators and fibres
High mobility
Uneven floors and thresholds are easily passed because of large wheels and independent wheel suspension.
User Friendly
The laser parameters are displayed as coloured bar graphs which are easily readable. The control console can be swiveled by 270o.
The vertical fibre part and the extendible fibre holder ensure that tha laser fibre is guided to the operating area from above.
Low noise emission
