50 at% Er^3+:YAG Laser rods for Medical Devices of Skin Treatment, Dental Surgery and Blood Sampling

Name: 50 at% Er^3+:YAG Laser rods for Medical Devices of Skin Treatment, Dental Surgery and Blood Sampling
Brand: DIGCO® Inc.
Availability: InStock

Description

Lasers powered by Er:YAG (erbium substituted: yttrium aluminium garnet), operating at 2.94 microns, crystals couple well into water and body fluids. The output of Er:YAG laser rod working as active element in special devices enables the painless monitoring of blood sugar levels for diabetic people, while safely reducing the risk for infection.

The laser device has the potential to obtain a blood sample for routine tests without a needle. This needle-free method will decrease the risk of bloodborne infections caused by needlestick injuries and thus lead to considerable 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.

Call upon our depth of experience in research, crystal growth and laser rod/slab fabrication. DIGCO will work with you to produce laser crystals that meet the exact specifications for superior performance of your 2.94 micron Er3+:YAG laser system.
