OverviewCompact holmium laser system designed for minimally invasive veterinary procedures, combining controlled energy delivery for lithotripsy and precise soft-tissue cutting. Intended for clinical use in companion animals (dogs and cats).
Holmium Laser PrincipleThe holmium laser emits at 2.1 μm, a wavelength with high water absorption. Energy absorbed by water in stones or tissue results in rapid vaporization and micro-explosions, enabling effective stone fragmentation and accurate tissue incision with limited penetration.
Clinical applications- Oral surgery: management of dental hyperplasia, excision of oral masses
- Urinary calculus lithotripsy: bladder and urethral stones in dogs and cats
- Soft tissue surgery: tumor excision, polyp removal, mammary gland procedures
- Orthopedic procedures: intervertebral disc decompression and related interventions
Key clinical functions- High-efficiency lithotripsy: controlled fragmentation with limited retropulsion
- Precision cutting: shallow tissue penetration for accurate targeting
- Minimal thermal damage: reduced collateral thermal injury to adjacent tissues
Design & operationPortable, plug-and-play unit operating on a 220V supply. Compact form factor facilitates transfer between treatment rooms and supports integration with endoscopic or open surgical workflows.
Comparative advantage- Minimal procedural trauma
- Faster postoperative recovery potential
- Lower incidence of complications relative to more invasive approaches
- Combined capability for soft-tissue procedures and lithotripsy in one device
Other lasers / traditional comparisonCompared with other laser types, holmium provides effective stone fragmentation plus precise soft-tissue incision. Compared with traditional surgical techniques, it enables reduced tissue trauma and targeted energy delivery.
