Lumenis Pulse 120H UM-10012510 Rev. F

The
Moses
capability introduces a modulation to the energy pulse that -
combined with a Moses fiber - enables emission of a controlled portion of
energy to create the vapor bubble, while leaving a larger portion as the
effective energy portion that travels through the vapor bubble to reach the
target tissue. Laser efficiency is therefore less dependent on the distance
between the fiber tip and the target and laser energy is delivered with
higher efficiency.
NOTE:
Moses
capability requires the use of dedicated Lumenis
Moses
fibers and
it is available only for systems that incorporate Moses capability which
has been activated. A complete discussion of Moses capability and fibers
may be found in the
Advanced Operations
chapter in the section named
Moses Capability
.
The Ho:YAG wavelength provides effective hemostasis without
damaging the surrounding or non-target tissues. Decreasing the laser
power density on vascularized tissue is an important tool in bleeding
control. Defocusing (increasing the fiber distance from the tissue) is a
common method for decreasing power density on tissue. When using the
Moses capability, due to its reduced dependence on fiber tip distance from
the target, this technique may be less effective.
