The CoolTouch VariZoom Variable Spot Size Reusable Fiber Optic Handpiece is indicated as an accessory for use with the CoolTouch "Varia" Nd:YAG Laser System, which has been cleared for the following indications: Hair removal (destruction of hair follicles) in all skin types and for soft tissue hemostasis of vascular lesions. For pigmented lesions: for patients that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment to reduce lesion size, for patients that have not responded to other laser treatments.

Device Story

VariZoom is a reusable fiber optic handpiece accessory for the CoolTouch Varia Nd:YAG laser system; replaces fixed spot size handpieces (4mm, 6mm, 8mm) with a single variable spot size mechanism (3mm to 10mm). Device incorporates a sensor to alert the user when coolant is depleted; maintains same dynamic cooling capability as predicate. Operated by clinicians in a medical setting; allows adjustment of laser spot size via a dial rather than manual handpiece changes. Benefits include improved workflow efficiency and flexibility in treating various lesion sizes.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Reusable fiber optic handpiece; 1064 nm wavelength; dynamic cooling via solenoid valve and self-contained coolant; integrated coolant depletion sensor; variable spot size (3mm-10mm); compatible with CoolTouch Varia Nd:YAG laser system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for hair removal (destruction of hair follicles) in all skin types, soft tissue hemostasis of vascular lesions, and treatment of pigmented lesions in patients who have not responded to other laser treatments or require aggressive treatment to reduce lesion size.
