As an integral part of a laser system, the PGS fiber may be used for a wide variety of surgical procedures. #### Indications for Use The Wave Form Manufacturing Prolase General Shaped Fiber is intended to be used for vaporization, cutting, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue in conjunction with or without endoscopic equipment including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, ureteroscopes, bronchoscopes, cystoscopes, gastroscopes, arthroscopes, colonoscopes, or for open surgery in contact or non-contact surgery with or without handpieces for use in coagulation, incision/excision, ablation and vaporization of soft tissue. The Wave Form Manufacturing PGS Fiber is indicated for use in medicine and surgery in the following specialties: Urology, Pulmonology, Arthroscopy, Podiatry, Orthopedics, Lithotripsy, ENT Surgery, Neurosurgery, Gastroenterology, Plastic Surgery, Dermatology, Radiology, Gynecology, and General and Vascular Surgery. {1}------------------------------------------------ # Technological Characteristics and Performance Data Design changes made to the Wave Form Manufacturing PGS Fiber are the addition of an internal proprietary quartz sleeve reflector which protects the laser focusing lens from back splatter of vaporized metal from the connector ferrule and the addition of an optical secondary memory cladding to help guide a steerable endoscope with the optical fiber. Bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the device will perform as intended. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
