Laser Lithotripsy
Laser Lithotripsy
Advanced Laser Technology for Urinary Stone Fragmentation
Laser lithotripsy uses laser energy delivered through an optical fiber to fragment urinary stones during minimally invasive procedures.
GIGAA's 1940 nm Thulium Fiber Laser platform provides high-power output, flexible pulse control and fine fiber delivery for advanced lithotripsy applications.
How Does Laser Lithotripsy Work?
A laser fiber is introduced through an endoscopic system and positioned close to the urinary stone.
Controlled laser pulses are delivered to the stone to achieve fragmentation or dusting.
Treatment parameters should be selected according to stone composition, size, location and clinical protocol.
Thulium Fiber Laser vs. Ho:YAG
Ho:YAG remains an established technology for laser lithotripsy.
Thulium Fiber Laser represents another advanced laser platform with different wavelength characteristics, pulse behavior and energy delivery options.
The choice of technology depends on the surgeon's preference, clinical protocol, stone characteristics and equipment configuration.

FAQ
Laser lithotripsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to fragment urinary stones.
Laser lithotripsy can be used for selected urinary stones. Treatment parameters depend on stone composition, size and location.
Both Ho:YAG and Thulium Fiber Laser technologies can be used for lithotripsy. GIGAA's platform uses 1940 nm Thulium Fiber Laser technology.
Yes. Depending on the system configuration and clinical protocol, the same 1940 nm platform can support selected soft tissue and endoscopic procedures.
