PLDD 980nm Diode Laser

Fast Recovery Spinal Decompression Surgery With 980nm Diode Laser

Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD)
Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a type of surgery in which a laser probe is inserted into the intervertebral disc space and laser energy applied for achieving decompression and neuromodulation thereby relieving the pain. PLDD is a minimally invasive procedure that falls into the category of percutaneous intervertebral surgeries with the aim to significantly reduce the patient’s pain and recover neurological deficit. It is performed under local anesthesia. By a specially designed laser, with a coefficient of absorbing energy adjusted for soft discus tissue, specific amount of heat is sent to achieve the evaporation of the water from the disc without additional thermal damage thus achieving decompression and creation of a stable intradiscal scar that will prevent herniation from reoccurring.

Benefits of percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD)
Not only because of the shortness of the procedure and its "elegance", are herniated discs being treated more and more often with this laser therapy. Benefits include rarely adhesions, muscles and joints remain intact, and nerves are not injured. Minimally invasive percutaneous access (1 millimeter) is possible. In addition, this therapy can be repeated and is particularly suitable for patients for whom general anesthesia poses a certain risk. Least but not last: Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) can be performed on multiple segments of the spine.

The PLDD treatment is performed on an outpatient basis using only local anesthesia. During the procedure, a thin needle is inserted into the herniated disc under x-ray or CT guidance. An optical fiber is inserted through the needle and laser energy is sent through the fiber, vaporizing a tiny portion of the disc nucleus. This creates a partial vacuum which draws the herniation away from the nerve root, thereby relieving the pain. The effect usually is immediate.

Operated with 400um/600um fiber optic, Chearylas 1470nm laser system is a versatile, multifunctional
medical diode laser machine ideal for minimal invasive PLDD.

The Cherylas 1470nm, with higher water absorption, enables precision ablation and highly localized heating, being advantageous around critical structures. thanks to its outstanding interaction in water and haemoglobin and moderate penetration depth into disc tissue, enables procedures to be carried out safely and accurately,especially in proximity of delicate anatomical structures.

High Quality Laser Diode Technology

Laser diodes are the heart of the laser unit and have been selected for high levels of quality, efficiency and reliability. Featuring solid state technology, they are manufactured in Germany by Lumics, Inc. which is a recognized worldwide leader for producing the highest performing diodes. This ensures superior operating life resulting in long term savings in operating costs.

Maximum Range Of Power(Watts )Level

Multiple power (watts) levels are available in different power configuration models from 1-60 watts. These power (watts) levels can provide significantly more energy than other medical & surgical diode lasers. The higher power (watts) level laser models provide faster treatment times and delivery of optimal energy dosages, an enhanced ability to treat difficult conditions, and enhanced clinical outcomes.

Interactive User Interface

Treatments can be administered and managed with three options: 1) Manual Protocols using the power level, operating mode and timer selections; 2) Preset Protocols that utilize a built-in database of protocols that are organized by anatomy and condition; 3) Custom Protocols that allows the user to create their own unique protocols.

Choice Of Different Operating Modes

Two operating modes Continuous Wave (CW) or Pulsed Modes (50khzFrequencies) are built into the diode laser equipment. The specific power level (watts) can be adjusted through progress bar on the color touchscreen. The Pulsewidth can be operated using different units, like you can set duration 50us, interval 1ms.

Medical Diode Laser Machine Of Excellent Design

S-shape design to protect laser moduel from a damage caused by accidental impact.

Accessories

Dimed providing a full set of high quality standard and optional accessories, such as puncture needle, Y-valve,optical fiber, safety goggles, footswitch, fiber

cutter, carry case, cart and etc.
