Solid-State Laser System

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 13 Oct 2005
A new green laser is designed for use in the operating room by otologists for otosclerosis and by ophthalmologists for retinal photocoagulation, which will allow hospitals to use one standard laser platform across specialties.

The laser was introduced at the American Academy of Otolaryngologists in Los Angles (CA, USA) in September 2005 by Iridex Corp. More...
(Mountain View, CA, USA). Iridex is a leading worldwide provider of semiconductor-based laser systems for the dermatology and ophthalmology markets, with distribution in more than 100 countries. The new laser expands the company's OcuLight product line and allows the company to enter the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) market.

"The OcuLight laser capitalizes on our experience with ophthalmic solid-state laser technology and our presence in the operating room, allowing us to serve both ophthalmic and ENT needs,” said Barry G. Caldwell, president and CEO of Iridex. "Our technology will allow operating rooms to standardize one laser platform across both medical specialties.

The OcuLight OR laser is the newest addition to the OcuLight green product family manufactured by Iridex. The OcuLight OR laser was specifically designed for the operating room environment and contains a user-friendly control interface. The laser features bright displays and large easy-to-read labeling. It is energy-efficient and does not require regular laser maintenance or special electrical or plumbing as was needed by older tube-based technology.
