LASER ASSISTED SPINAL ENDOSCOPY (LASE)

LASE® DISCECTOMY BENEFITS

Small 1.7mm catheter:
Integrates illumination, imaging, irrigation, outflow and therapeutic Ho:YAG laser fiber.

Full visibility:
Physician can identify target tissue, observe tissue effects and verify the amount of tissue removed.

Truly minimally invasive:
Little or no skin scar with low morbidity.

Continuous irrigation:
Keeps the disc cool and provides copious flushing to remove disc material.

Ease of use:
Combines guide needle, working channel, soft tissue dilator, trephine, and a steerable integrated laser fiber and endoscope in one sterile disposable set.

TRUE ARTHROSCOPIC THERAPY FOR PATIENTS SUFFERING LEG AND BACK PAIN

With its unique combination of irrigation, deflection and the ability to use laser and conventional instruments, LASE® allows the surgeon to perform simple nerve root decompression or a complete discectomy.

LASE uses the Ho:YAG laser, surgical instruments and irrigation to facilitate nerve root decompression or discectomy.

THE USE OF ENDOSCOPY HAS PROVEN TO YIELD RESULTS…

equivalent or better than conventional spine surgery while providing the benefits of a minimally invasive procedure.

LASE ENABLES THE PHYSICIAN TO VISUALIZE THE PROCEDURE AND…

to verify the desired end point. The pulsed Ho:YAG laser, with its extremely shallow penetration (less than 0.5 mm in water), has consistently proven to be the most effective and safest method for delivering ablative energy through a small cannula.
