SureFlex laser fibers are intended for use in laser-based surgical applications, including, but not limited to endoscopic and open surgical procedures involving vaporization, ablation, coagulation, hemostasis, excision, resection and incision of soft and cartilaginous tissue and surgical procedures involving vaporization, ablation and fragmentation of calculi (urinary and biliary). SureFlex is designed primarily for holmium (Ho:YAG) lasers, but may be used with any laser wavelength between 500nm and 2200nm that has been cleared for surgical use, e.g. Nd:YAG, KTP, Alexandrite, Argon, Ruby, Diode
Specific, by Surgical Specialty (most common use first)
Urology -
Urinary Lithotripsy including but not limited to endoscopic and laparoscopic fragmentation, ablation and vaporization of urinary calculi found from the lower pole of the kidney to the urethra and distal impacted fragments of steinstrasse.
Urological Surgery (vaporization, coagulation, hemostasis, excision and incision of soft tissue) including, but not limited to open, endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery for the removal of superficial and invasive bladder tumors and lesions, including condylomas, treatment of ureteral strictures obstructions, polyps, vascularities and hemangioma as well as prostatectomy (BPH).
Gastroenterology -
Laser-based surgical procedures including, but not limited to open, endoscopic and laparoscopic gastroenterological surgery for ablation, vaporization, fragmentation, coagulation, hemostasis, incision, excision, resection, and hemostasis of biliary calculi, lesions, neoplasms, polyps, ulcers, tears, erosions and tumors.
The SureFlex™ Lithotripsy Laser Fiber (SureFlex fiber) is a fiber optic laser delivery device consisting of a patented, high energy termination (Black Hole™); a length of silica/silica fiber with a UV cured polymer secondary cladding and an ethylene tetrafluoro-ethylene copolymer (ETFE) jacket. The standard fiber output is a laser polished tip. SureFlex fibers are designed for use in a wide variety of surgical procedures as an integral part of a surgical laser system.
