Soft-Tissue Treatment

Controlled energy delivery where it matters: Futonics thulium fiber laser engines combine strong absorption in water-rich tissue around 2 µm with flexible pulse control for cutting, ablation, vaporization and coagulation in medical OEM systems.

Controlled energy delivery around 2 µm

Radiation around 2 µm is strongly absorbed by water-rich tissue, supporting locally confined energy deposition and controlled thermal interaction.

Futonics QCW systems combine up to 1200 W peak power and pulse energies up to 10 J with flexible pulse control and high average-power options.

The advantages of thulium fiber lasers for soft tissue

Pulse duration, pulse shape, repetition rate and output power can be adapted to different treatment modes such as cutting, ablation, vaporization and coagulation.

Water-cooled and air-cooled platforms provide different trade-offs between average power, cooling effort and integration volume for medical OEM systems.

Cutting, ablation, vaporization and coagulation

Soft-tissue laser systems use controlled thermal interaction for different tasks. Our laser engines support cutting, ablation, vaporization and coagulation, with pulse duration, shape, repetition rate and power adapted to the intended mode. Strong absorption by water-rich tissue is the basis for locally confined energy delivery around 2 µm.

Peak power and pulse energy describe individual pulses, whereas average power is relevant to energy delivery over time. Medical-system development therefore considers these quantities together rather than selecting a source from peak power alone.

Air-cooled and water-cooled laser engines

We offer water-cooled and air-cooled platforms for soft-tissue system development. The water-cooled concept addresses applications with high average-power requirements, while the air-cooled concept offers an alternative where installation space, cooling effort and system complexity matter. The appropriate option follows the complete integration requirements.

Flexible fiber delivery, stable output and adaptable pulse control support development of surgical and endoscopic platforms. Selecting a laser engine involves the treatment mode, fiber delivery, cooling and system architecture as well as the medical manufacturer's regulatory requirements.

Evaluating a soft-tissue laser platform

System suitability depends on peak power, pulse energy, average power, pulse parameters, fiber delivery, cooling concept, treatment mode, architecture and regulatory requirements. Futonics supports medical-device manufacturers and OEM partners in evaluating suitable configurations.
