Surgical laser ENDOTHERME™

varicose vein treatmentdiodetabletop

After the success of the Pharaoh 980nm and following the validation of the clinical interest of the 1470nm wavelength, LSO Medical launched the 1470nm Endotherm™ in 2012. This wavelength of 1470nm combined with its “continuous” firing mode are now recognized as the Gold Standard in the thermal ablation treatment of saphenous by Laser. Technical characteristics a) Selective energy delivery The Endotherme™ 1470 laser emits infrared light with a wavelength of 1470nm. Emitted inside the saphenous, the light is thus absorbed by the water (its chromophore) of the venous wall and then converted into heat. Under the effect of this heat, the venous wall is destroyed, which leads to the occlusion of the saphenous. b) Focused energy delivery The penetration distance of the wavelength 1470 is of the order of 300 to 400 μm. During thermal endovenous treatment, the 1470 laser acts on more than half the thickness of the venous wall (thickness between 450 and 600 μm), inducing a level of tissue damage necessary (to induce the destruction of the vein) and sufficient (not to induce damage in the surrounding tissues) Conclusion Wavelength Diode Laser 1470 nm + Radial Emission Fibers: Light oriented towards the venous wall by the radial emission fiber Short exposure time (thanks to continuous shrinkage) => Destruction of the Wall without destruction of surrounding tissues or nerves Technical specifications: Power: 15 Watts Cooling: Peltier and Air Operation: Certification: Continuous or Pulsed, 0.1 to 25 sec. Class DM: IIb (Directive 93/42/EC) Power supply: 100-230 VAC; 50 to 60 Hz
