The Er:YAG laser rod enables painless monitoring of blood sugar levels for diabetic people while safely reducing the risk for infection. It also has the potential to obtain a blood sample for routine tests without a needle, which decreases the risk of bloodborne infections caused by needlestick injuries and leads to cost savings and public health advantages.

Further work is needed to alter the laser energy so that hemolysis can be decreased, thus enabling a more reliable potassium estimation.

The Er:YAG laser rod is used for medical devices such as skin treatment, dental surgery, blood sampling, and blood glucose monitoring.

The Er:YAG laser rod operates at 2.94 microns, which is a relatively eye-safe wavelength range.

DIGCO offers services such as research, crystal growth, and laser rod/slab fabrication to produce laser crystals that meet the exact specifications for superior performance of your 2.94 micron Er3+:YAG laser system.
