Intended Use
The Trimedyne Holmium:YAG Laser System is intended for incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis in multispecialty applications, including dermatology and plastic surgery, discectomy, gastroenterological/ gastrointestinal surgery, general surgery, genitourinary surgery, lithotripsy, orthopedic surgery, endoscopic sinus surgery, and otorhinolaryngology surgery.
Device Story
Trimedyne Holmium Laser System (Models 1210, 1210-VHP, 1500-A) is a Class IV, pulsed, solid-state Holmium:YAG laser; delivers 2.1 um infrared energy; pulsewidth up to 350 microseconds. System features menu-driven controls for pulse repetition rate, output energy, and lasing duration. Used in OR or clinical settings by physicians for multispecialty surgical applications including lithotripsy, ENT, and general surgery. Laser energy interacts with target tissue to perform incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, or hemostasis. Output allows precise tissue management; benefits include minimally invasive surgical capability and effective stone fragmentation. Healthcare providers operate the system via console controls to achieve desired clinical outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Holmium:YAG laser; 2.1 um wavelength; max pulsewidth 350 microseconds; max power 100 watts. Class IV, pulsed, solid-state laser. Menu-driven control interface for pulse repetition rate, output energy, and duration.
