Medical Applications
Shape energy delivery for dusting and fragmentation with Futonics thulium fiber laser engines. Strong water absorption around 2 µm, high peak power and individually adjustable pulses provide a flexible foundation for endourological OEM laser systems.
Discuss your applicationRadiation around 2 µm is strongly absorbed by water, making it suitable for controlled energy delivery in fluid environments used in endourology.
Futonics QCW platforms provide up to 1200 W peak power, pulse energies up to 10 J and repetition rates up to 3000 Hz for system development around dusting and fragmentation modes.
Individually adjustable pulse duration, pulse shape, repetition rate and energy give medical-system developers flexibility to tune stone interaction and treatment modes.
The laser architecture supports coupling into small fibers, including 150 µm fibers, and is designed for compact integration into OEM surgical platforms.
Dusting and fragmentation place different requirements on the way energy is delivered to a stone. Our laser engines offer individually adjustable pulse duration, pulse shape, energy and repetition rate, allowing OEM developers to adapt the laser engine to different operating modes rather than relying on a single fixed pulse characteristic.
Pulse control allows OEM developers to adapt energy delivery to stone movement, ablation behavior and dusting requirements. The combination of pulse settings is selected and validated for the intended medical system.
Our laser engines can be configured for optical fibers with a diameter of 150 µm. Small fibers can support flexible access and compact endoscopic instrument designs where maneuverability and visibility are important. Their use must be considered together with the laser's beam quality, coupling arrangement and selected pulse delivery.
Our laser-engine architecture combines FBG manufacturing and optical coupling technology. For integration into a urological platform, the fiber, cooling concept, control parameters and surgical-system requirements need to be evaluated together with the OEM manufacturer.
System suitability depends on pulse energy, peak power, repetition rate, fiber diameter, pulse shape, cooling concept, architecture and regulatory requirements. Futonics supports medical-device manufacturers and OEM partners in evaluating suitable laser-engine configurations.
QCW
The 1200 W QCW Air-Cooled Thulium Fiber Laser from Futonics is a pulsed 2 µm fiber laser system designed specifically for medical integration. It provides up to 1200 W peak power, up to 120 W average output power and pulse energies of up to 10 J. Flexible pulse shaping enables application-specific energy delivery for high-pulse-energy medical applications such as lithotripsy, as well as integration into OEM medical devices.
