Abstract
A laser system includes a first laser configured to generate a laser light, the first laser light including a first wavelength, a second laser configured to generate a second laser light, the second laser light including a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, and a laser fiber operatively coupled to each of the first laser and the second laser to emit at least one of the first laser light or the second laser light at a target site.
Claims20
A laser system, comprising:
- a first laser configured to generate a first laser light, wherein the first laser light includes a first wavelength;
- a second laser configured to generate a second laser light, wherein the second laser light includes a second wavelength different from the first wavelength;
- and
- a laser fiber operatively coupled to each of the first laser and the second laser configured to emit at least one of the first laser light or the second laser light at a target site.
A method for performing a medical procedure using a laser system, the method comprising:
- determining a first characteristic of a target tissue;
- selecting a first laser or a second laser based on the first characteristic of the target tissue;
- and
- generating a first laser energy having a first wavelength from the first laser or a second laser energy having a second wavelength from the second laser based on the selection of the first laser or the second laser, wherein the first wavelength is different from the second wavelength.
A method for performing a medical procedure using a laser system, the laser system comprising:
- a first laser configured to generate a first laser energy having a first wavelength;
- a second laser configured to generate a second laser energy having a second wavelength;
- a third laser configured to generate a third laser energy having a third wavelength, wherein the first, second, and third wavelengths are each different;
- and
- a laser fiber, wherein the method comprises:
- generating the first laser energy having the first wavelength, the second laser energy having the second wavelength, or the third laser energy having the third wavelength;
- emitting the first laser energy, the second laser energy, or the third laser energy from the laser fiber at a target tissue;
- receiving a feedback from the target tissue;
- determining a characteristic of the target tissue based on the feedback;
- selecting one of the first laser energy, the second laser energy, or the third laser energy based on the characteristic of the target tissue;
- and
- delivering the first laser energy, the second laser energy, or the third laser energy through the fiber based on the selection.
