Description
SideFire by NeuLight® is an improved, high-powered fiber optic delivery device suitable for laser driven prostate enucleation procedures. This re-imagined probe is built with comfort and precision in mind for Urologists and their staff.
Our SideFire emits laser energy at a 90-degree angle from the axis of the fiber. The capillary tip is attached with the body of the probe using a proprietary process to maximize energy transmission. The aiming grip is ergonomically designed allowing for 365-degree rotation and increased durability.
The packaging is damage-proof and easy to use to ensure each sterile device can be seamlessly passed off by the scrub technician to the surgeon.
The NeuLight SideFire Fiber Probe is based on a precision-engineered beam redirection mechanism that enables controlled lateral emission of laser energy at approximately 90 degrees relative to the fiber axis. This is achieved through a carefully designed distal tip geometry that redirects the guided laser beam using controlled reflection and refraction within a fused silica structure, allowing efficient and stable energy delivery to side-oriented tissue targets.
Unlike conventional forward-firing fibers, side-firing probes are specifically optimized for endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures where direct line-of-sight access is limited. This lateral emission geometry enables more uniform energy distribution along tissue surfaces, improving procedural control in applications such as laser ablation, vaporization, and enucleation.
The probe is engineered for high-power laser compatibility across a broad wavelength range, maintaining stable transmission efficiency while minimizing back reflection and thermal degradation at the distal tip. Its robust construction supports consistent optical performance under repeated sterilization and high-duty surgical use, making it suitable for demanding clinical environments where reliability and precision are critical.

Applications
The NeuLight SideFire Fiber Probe is designed for high-precision lateral laser energy delivery in minimally invasive surgical procedures where controlled tissue interaction and directional beam emission are critical. Its 90-degree emission geometry enables efficient energy transfer to lateral tissue surfaces, making it particularly effective in endoscopic environments where direct axial access is limited.
- Urology and Laser Prostate Surgery
Side-fire fiber probes are widely used in urology for procedures such as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) treatment and laser prostate enucleation. The lateral emission profile allows surgeons to precisely target prostatic tissue while preserving surrounding anatomical structures, improving procedural control and clinical outcomes. - Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Laser Surgery
These fibers are integrated into endoscopic laser systems for soft tissue ablation, vaporization, and coagulation. The side-firing geometry enables uniform energy distribution along tissue walls, making them suitable for procedures performed in confined or curved anatomical pathways. - Lithotripsy and Stone Management
In laser lithotripsy applications, side-firing fibers assist in fragmenting urinary and biliary stones through controlled lateral energy delivery. This allows improved targeting efficiency within the urinary tract and enhances procedural flexibility in difficult-to-access regions. - Oncology and Soft Tissue Ablation
Side-firing probes are increasingly used in laser-based tumor ablation and interstitial therapies, where precise directional energy delivery is required to selectively destroy abnormal tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy structures. - Biomedical and Optical Research Systems
Beyond clinical applications, side-fire fiber probes are used in biomedical optics research, laser-tissue interaction studies, and experimental photonics systems. Their controlled emission profile supports studies in energy distribution, tissue response, and minimally invasive optical delivery techniques. - Surgical Laser System Integration
These probes are compatible with a wide range of medical laser platforms, enabling OEM integration into surgical laser systems used in hospitals and specialty clinics. Their standardized design and high-power handling capability make them suitable for both disposable and semi-reusable surgical workflows.
