Tip failure occurs more rapidly where the tip begins with flaws, particularly where the optical output of the fiber is distorted. Most instructions for reproducing fiber tips are crude and non-scientific; “stripping and cleaving” instructions found on the internet, within other fiber manufacturers’ websites and IFUs typically yield highly variable and suboptimum results. The following guide represents best practices in producing fiber working tips and is based upon the science of Fracture Mechanics. It is provided as a supplement to the full ProFlex™ LLF IFU and is intended for use by non-surgical personnel who are routinely charged with reproducing working tips on...

Fiber Holmium Fiber Laser Lasersafe OmniPulse Optifiber Scopesafe Trimedyne
It has come to our attention that holmium fibers for Trimedyne lasers are in short supply. We are happy to step in and serve this unmet need. You should have switched long ago to save blast shields... Our ProFlex LLF var. Trimedyne offers five sizes (true 200, 273, 365, 550 and 910) featuring IQ's Pulsar HPC connector and Smooth Passage tips. Our true 200 is the only Trimedyne compatible fiber capable of reaching lower pole stones because it does not interfere with scope deflection what-so-ever. As a bonus, it delivers more laser power than others' larger core fibers(rated at 25W...
