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.

Why 1940 nm Thulium Fiber Laser?

The 1940 nm Thulium Fiber Laser provides:

Strong water absorption

High-power output

Flexible pulse control

Small fiber delivery

Controlled energy delivery

Stone fragmentation and dusting capability

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

What is laser lithotripsy?

Laser lithotripsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to fragment urinary stones.

Which stones can be treated with laser lithotripsy?

Laser lithotripsy can be used for selected urinary stones. Treatment parameters depend on stone composition, size and location.

What wavelength is used for laser lithotripsy?

Both Ho:YAG and Thulium Fiber Laser technologies can be used for lithotripsy. GIGAA's platform uses 1940 nm Thulium Fiber Laser technology.

Can the Thulium Fiber Laser be used for soft tissue surger

Yes. Depending on the system configuration and clinical protocol, the same 1940 nm platform can support selected soft tissue and endoscopic procedures.
