The SPHINX Holmium lasers overcome all other Holmium lasers on the Market due to their unique adjustable pulse duration.
Applications
Strictures: Strictures in the ureter are easily opened - virtually without any bleeding.
Tumor ablation: The low penetration of the Holmium laser makes it the ideal instrument for the ablation of bladder tumors - no risk for penetration. A special aiming beam setting allows the usage together with "photo-dynamic-diagnosis" under blue light illumination.
Laser lithotripsy: Stones in all location may be fragmented - regardless of their composition. Unlike mechanical and electro-hydrolic systems the Holmium laser does not apply external force. Stones are fragmented due to the rapid evaporation of residual water inside the stone upon absorption of the laser radiation. SPHINX lasers allow the selection of shorter laser pulse duration than any other Holmium laser - for more efficient fragmentation and less thermal effects to the surrounding tissue.
The system can be upgraded to 60/80 watts for Bloodless resection of prostate
Resection of well circulated adenome tissue requires for excellent coagulation. This is provided by the SPHINX laser at long pulse duration. The active cooling system of the laser allows extended operation at elevated ambient temperature.
