Holmium Lasers

Physician Discoveries currently owns 100-watt VersaPulse® PowerSuite™ Holmium Lasers, available for contract service to hospitals in our service area.

The VersaPulse PowerSuite, currently the most powerful holmium laser in the world, provides higher energy and a faster repetition rate for smoother cutting and faster, more efficient tissue treatment. It is intended for ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and immediate hemostasis of soft tissue through scope or open access. Urology applications include:

• Laser lithotripsy involving impacted stone fragments
• Urethral strictures
• Urethral and ureteral tumors
• Urinary lithotripsy including urethral, ureteral, bladder and renal calculi
• Bladder Neck Incision (BNI)
• Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP)
• Holmium Laser Ablation of the Prostate (HoLAP)

Laser lithotripsy using the Holmium offers many advantages to the physician and patient. Complex and embedded stones can be treated, stone-free result rates are good, and there is a high success rate with a single treatment.

For treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), lasers can precisely ablate without charring or overheating tissue. In hemostasis, the laser’s localized coagulation effect seals the tissue, which minimizes fluid absorption.

Our certified Mobile Laser Technicians provide laser fibers as well as assistance and guidance in the use of the laser.
