Laser incorporates double pulse technology to quickly disintegrate stones, but operates at only 1.6 Watts to virtually eliminate thermal stress on tissue
World Of Medicine USA introduces the improved Freddy laser for intracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
With even greater speed and efficiency than before, by incorporating double pulse technology, the new laser will quickly disintegrate stones in the entire urinary tract.
The Freddy laser is a special lithotripsy unit that neither perforates nor coagulates tissue.
Because the Freddy laser operates with only 1.6 Watts, tissue is exposed to virtually no thermal stress and is ideal for treatments in the entire urinary tract, from the bladder to the renal calyx.
With the Freddy technology, if tissue is inadvertently exposed to the pulses of the laser, it is not harmed, resulting in less trauma and faster procedures.
This provides a treatment that is faster and less costly than conventional methods.
The Freddy laser is much gentler on patients, rendering them stone free in a single treatment session.
The Freddy laser is portable and can be quickly adjusted to deliver 1-20 pulses per second.
The laser becomes fully operational within seconds of activation, making it extremely reliable and convenient.
The laser utilises World Of Medicine's proprietary Freddy (frequency-doubled dual pulse Nd:Yag) technology, which provides effective fragmentation of bile duct stones, as well as urinary stones.
A thin highly flexible optical laser fiber inserted in the working channel of the endoscope transfers very short laser pulses to the stone. Once the shock waves have fragmented the stone, the fragments can be extracted or flushed from the body naturally.
