Flexiva Fibers are high power single-use laser fibers. They are designed with a high degree of flexibility to pass through a fully deflected scope without causing damage to the scope liner or optics. The Flexiva Fibers are approved to use with Holmium and Nd:YAG lasers with standard SMA-905 Connectors. It is also recommended for use with Lumenis Laser Systems.
The following features make the Flexiva Fibres an effective device for urological procedures performing at a high degree of flexibility and durability.
| Feature | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
|
Polished output tip |
Laser fibers are made up of high-quality silica fiber material. The Flexiva Fibres have a primary and secondary coating with a polished ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) outer layer. These coating help to keep energy in the core through total internal reflection. |
The polished outer tip facilitates easy insertion into the scope without causing any damage to the liner or optics. This feature also reduces imperfections from mechanical or hand cleaving. |
|
Non-tapered guided connector |
Flexiva Fibres are designed with a custom guided connector to deliver direct energy towards the core. |
The unique feature of Flexiva Fibres helps in delivering consistent high output efficiency at the treatment site and thus provide consistent performance. |
|
Flexshield technology |
Flexiva Fibres uses a flexshield technology for high durability and high power. These fibres are engineered to withstand 1.0cm bend diameter at 50W2 and 1.5cm bend diameter at 100W2. |
High durability of Flexiva Fibres can reduce scope damage, which can be caused by fiber breakage. |
|
Atraumatic |
Bench and scope testing demonstrates that the Flexiva Fibres can pass through a fully deflected scope without damage to the scope liner or optics. |
This unique feature facilitates ease of insertion of the endoscope. It will also ensure a smooth navigation under difficult conditions offering patient comfort. |
|
Output Efficiency |
The custom guided connector efficiently directs the energy to the core and safely diffuses any errant laser energy. This reduces the procedure steps for the initial advancement of a deflected laser fiber to the surgical site. |
This distinct feature maximizes its performance by delivering consistent high output energy at the treatment site. It also eliminates the need to re-access challenging stone locations. |
