Request InfoLIMO GmbHLIMO has released a medical laser with two parallel wavelengths for quick and uncomplicated surgical treatment. The compact 1470-nm diode laser has been supplemented by an additional parallel wavelength of 980, 940 or 810 nm. This long-established standard wavelength on the medical market, combined with the expedient wavelength of 1470 nm, can be individually controlled. The power rating of the fiber-coupled laser is 15 and 30 W. A power rating of >100 W also can be supplied. The module is maintenance-free and suitable for use in surgery and urology applications. The two wavelengths make...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Mar/Apr 2023 IssueMedical LaserThe Ellex® Tango Reflex™ Neo Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) laser from Lumibird Medical is a fully integrated, Q-switched and frequency doubled device...BioPhotonics Nov/Dec 2023 IssueDiode Pump SourceThe G2-A Diode Pump Source from Lumispot Tech is a second-generation continuous-wave pump laser designed to optimize solid-state laser technology.
