Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression

Minimally Invasive Laser Technology for PLDD

Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) is a minimally invasive procedure in which laser energy is delivered through a specialized optical fiber to the target disc.The objective is to provide controlled laser energy delivery within the disc according to the selected clinical technique.

How Does PLDD Work?

A specialized optical fiber is introduced percutaneously under appropriate clinical guidance.

Laser energy is delivered through the fiber to create a controlled thermal effect within the target area.

Treatment parameters should be determined according to patient anatomy, disc condition, surgical technique and clinical protocol.

Laser Technology

Depending on the specific system and clinical protocol, diode wavelengths such as 980 nm, 1064 nm and 1470 nm may be considered for fiber-based applications.

The appropriate wavelength, power and fiber configuration should be selected based on the intended procedure and validated clinical protocol.

Fiber Delivery

PLDD requires precise optical fiber positioning and controlled energy delivery.

GIGAA's fiber solutions are designed to provide stable laser energy transmission for minimally invasive applications.

FAQ

What is PLDD?

PLDD stands for Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression, a minimally invasive laser procedure involving fiber-delivered laser energy within the intervertebral disc.

What laser wavelength is used for PLDD?

Different diode laser wavelengths may be used depending on the clinical technique and system. Appropriate wavelength selection should be based on the validated clinical protocol.

Is PLDD minimally invasive?

PLDD is designed as a minimally invasive, percutaneous procedure using fiber-based laser energy delivery.
