Only the OmniPulse MAX offers both traditional single pulse and the DoublePulse waveforms in the same laser. YAG lasers have an on-board power meter. The power meter allows verification of the integrity of all of our delivery systems to ensure accurate delivery of the selected energy. The on-board power meter can also extend the useful life of our reusable devices by allowing operating room staff to test the functionality of the optical fiber before, during or after use. The read-out on the laser's control panel will readily verify that the optical fiber is still delivering adequate energy and is suitable to be sterilized for another procedure.
Duty cycle refers to the ability of a device to operate at or near full power.
Additionally, the heat exchanger systems employed by competitive lasers release a considerable amount of heat into the surgical suite and, when coupled with the internal fans required to keep these competitive devices cool, may produce more noise than the Trimedyne OmniPulse MAX . Trimedyne's patented fiber connection provides better protection for the delivery system fiber and laser optics. Its design eliminates the possibility of the laser beam striking a metallic surface with the resultant rapid degradation of optical surface's and reduction of energy to tissue. The standard SMA 905 connectors utilized by other Holmium laser manufacturers do not provide this capability. Inc. All rights reserved.
