532-nm green laser is the benchmark for ease, speed,
and intricate treatment in ophthalmic surgery, integrating the reliability of
532-nm green light with the convenience of a small, portable laser package.
The adaptability of the Novus Spectra is ideal for ophthalmic procedures such
as angle-closure glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal
detachments, and age-related macular degeneration. It also is ideal for otologic
procedures such as stapedotomy, stapedectomy, tympanoplasty, myringotomy,
bleeding control, lysis of adhesions, and treatment of soft tissue adhessions.
Our complete line of delivery systems and accessories further extends the
versatility of the Novus Spectra laser.
Lumenis lasers and delivery systems are precision medical instruments. They
have undergone extensive testing and with proper handling are useful and
reliable clinical instruments. If you have questions regarding your laser or
delivery system, contact your local Lumenis representative.
WARNING -
Lasers generate a highly concentrated beam of light that may
cause injury if improperly used. To protect the patient and the operating
personnel, the entire laser and the appropriate delivery system operator
manuals, including all Safety and Regulatory sections, should be carefully read
and comprehended before operation.
Characteristics of the 532-nm green laser beam
The 532-nm wavelength falls in the green region of the electromagnetic
spectrum. Laser light visible or invisible can cause tissue damage; therefore,
eye safety precautions must be taken by the physician, patient, and any
observers in the room. A low-power, visible aiming beam that is coaxial with
the treatment beam is used to target tissue.
Green light energy is readily absorbed by melanin, hemoglobin, and
oxyhemoglobin in the eye, but avoids macular xanthophyll. These
characteristics allow for effective laser photocoagulation of ocular tissue.
