Description
The LithoWise™ LW-0003 Holmium Laser Fiber is a high-performance surgical accessory designed for holmium:YAG laser procedures. With a 365µm core diameter, this model provides greater energy throughput than smaller fibers while maintaining flexibility for use with surgical scopes.
LithoWise™ fibers feature Crosshair Alignment Technology, ensuring the laser beam is fully aligned with the fiber core for maximum energy delivery and consistent targeting accuracy. Even under bends, the LW-0003 maintains full beam capacity, outperforming standard fibers that lose energy and accuracy under flex.
Distinctly “Wise” Features
- ✅ Crosshair Accurate Alignment – Full beam alignment with the fiber core for maximum efficiency.
- ✅ Higher Energy Capacity – The 365µm core can safely deliver up to 60 watts of laser power.
- ✅ Reliable Performance Under Bend – Maintains full energy throughput even when maneuvered through endoscopes.
- ✅ Universal SMA 905 Connector – Industry-standard for holmium:YAG laser compatibility.
- ✅ Consistent Handling – Same outer diameter across sizes ensures familiar scope navigation.
Illustration: LithoWise vs. Other Fibers
- LithoWise™: Accurate targeting, full beam delivered to the core.
- Other Fibers: Misalignment causes reduced power, especially under bend.
