Fiber optic probes for radial emission

The fiber optic probes for radial emission applications that we produce are optimized for use @1470 nm. This product is particularly suitable for phlebology and gynecology applications where a radial emission of the laser light is recommended.

Fibers

• Our fibers are USP Class VI certified, non-toxic, and biocompatible. Standard products use either a 400 µm or a 600 µm core all silica fiber, to suit different types of lasers and medical procedures.

Connector

• The probe is equipped with the Powershot SMA connector manufactured by SEDI-ATI. This connector is specially designed for power applications of disposable probes where cost issue is important. A free-standing ferrule with an air gap around the fiber allows excellent power handling and the assembly technique avoids any stress on the fiber itself.

Distal End

• The most efficient design is obtained by a specific shaping of the fiber end which is enclosed in a silica capillary. The result is an annular emission of the laser energy for homogenous action on the vein wall.

Jacket

• Ring fibers with a capillary assembly at the distal end are jacketed with a biocompatible material. This jacket has a cm marking to help visualize the fiber introduction in the vein.

Manufacturing

• Biocompatible materials.
• Packaged, stored, and used in a clean environment.
• Production workshop certified ISO 9001 & ISO 13485.
• CE certification according to Directive 93/42, CE number: CE 0476.
• Sold sterilized (Ethylene Oxide) upon request, and in a double bag.

Qualification

• Internal Qualification Reports (RQ150511 for RING fiber 400 µm and RQ150703 for RING fiber 600 µm): power handling of 400 Joules per cm on a tissue length of 80 cm @ 1470 nm.
• Destructive test with 5000 J in the same volume of tissue creating a big hole + carbonization layer on the surface tip but not disconnecting the capsule. Traction of the fiber tip of 10 Kgs.
