The UltraLase Flexible CO2Laser Waveguide is indicated for use with CO2 laser systems for general and plastic surgery procedures, neurosurgery, and ophthaimology, 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 CO2Laser 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 Waveguide is a laser delivery system 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 whose 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 plastic sleeve for protection. The UltraLase Flexible CO2 Laser Waveguide is supplied with a single use handpiece attached or without a handpiece so it can be used with various reusable handpieces such as the TTI Medical ACCU-Beam Fiberoptic Handpieces. 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 supplied focusing lens and travels down the waveguide by multiple bounces off the inner reflective surface, exiting to the tissue at the distal end. The UltraLase Flexible CO2 Laser Waveguides come with either a 905 SMA connector or a 953 ST connector and are therefore can be used with any CO2 Laser that is compatible with one of these connectors. The waveguide is supplied in several diameters and lengths as shown in the following chart. | Core Dia. (µm) | Outer Dia. (µm) | Lengths (cm) | |----------------|-----------------|---------------| | 300 | 750 | 100, 150 | | 500 | 850 | 100, 150, 200 | | 750 | 1200 | 100, 150, 200 | It is recommended that a purge gas system using an inert gas such as helium be used to force an inert gas through the waveguide for cooling and to keep the inner channel of the waveguide free of debris. The waveguides delivery systems are supplied sterile for single use.
