Urolase SP+
A third-generation Thulium fiber laser that combines the unique 1.94 µm wavelength, which allows surgical interventions with high efficiency on both soft tissue and stones, as well as a new optimized pulse mode, which makes the crushing of concrements even more effective and faster.
Urolase SP+ covers the full spectrum of soft-tissue surgery: enucleation and vaporization of the prostate, resection and vaporization of bladder and kidney tumors, dissection of strictures and various reconstructive operations. The effectiveness of stone crushing with thulium fiber lasers is confirmed by the worldwide trend towards a total switch from holmium technologies to thulium fiber lasers.

8 times more compact than Ho:YAG high and medium power lasers
Low maintenance costs
Connects to standard power grid
Air cooling
 |
Two times faster lithotripsyCrushing the stone into micro fragments twice as fast as leading holmium-YAG lasers2 |
 |
4 times greater absorption in waterThe distinguishing feature of 1.94 micron wavelength radiation is its high absorption in water, which ensures maximum efficiency in lithotripsy3. |
No retropulsion
No retropulsion effect when crushing concrements due to specially optimized pulse2
IPG Surgical Fiber
Urolase SP+ allows to use the thinnest fiber – IPG Surgical Fiber HP with a diameter of 150 µm for flexible endoscopes, which:
• Does not affect the bending radius of the endoscope
• Increases the flow of irrigation fluid in the endoscope
IPG Surgical Fiber in all diameters is available in both single-use and multiple-use versions
IPG Surgical Fiber HP Multiple-Use (S) – Sterile reusable
IPG Surgical Fiber HP Single-Use (S) – Disposable Sterile
Lithotripsy

|
Fragmentation - allows you to quickly break the stone into fragments for lithoextraction |
|
|
Dusting - breaking the stone into a fine dust helps remove stones without the use of extractors |
|
|
Popcorning - allows you to effectively break up residual fragments during kidney surgery |

Enucleation of BPH
|
|
Radiation at a wavelength of 1.94 μm has the lowest depth of penetration into tissue5, ensuring the most controlled removal of biological tissue to the border with the prostate capsule. This wavelength also has excellent hemostatic properties, thereby reducing blood loss during soft-tissue surgery. The combination of these factors greatly facilitates the training process for specialists studying laser enucleation of BPH6. |

Soft tissues
A comparison of the penetration depth of lasers with different wavelengths shows that thulium fiber lasers have a minimum penetration depth and are therefore more precise and safer for surgical manipulations in urology.
Multi-Axis Workstation Software
The Multi-Axis family of workstations are high-accuracy platforms designed to take advantage of the high beam quality found in IPG’s fiber lasers. Systems can be configured using any IPG laser, with laser processing heads available for welding, cutting and scanning applications. System options can include both basic and smart vision packages, along with part identification and process verification hardware.
The Multi-Axis software integrates control of the laser, motion systems and all system components to provide easy programming of the tool using G/M code commands that are familiar to CNC machine programmers.
Three Password-Protected Levels of System Control: Engineer, Maintenance and Operator.
User screens enable the Engineer, acting as system administrator, to easily set permission levels for each HMI screen for each level of operator and set corresponding passwords.
The system can operate in manual or programmed mode, and has functions to enable Dry-Run (execution of the full program but with the laser not turned on) and Optional Stop – that will allow a pause in the processing cycle for part inspection and other uses.
Used in combination with standard G-code programming, these capabilities provide the user with a comprehensive, easy-to-use programming and operator interface.
