Resurrecting Urine Flow with IQ's Phoenix™ BPH Laser The US Patent Office has informed InnovaQuartz that our multi-wavelength surgical laser, that we have dubbed the Phoenix, has issued (US Pat. No. 9,220,563), precisely one year after it was filed. This laser addresses the deficiencies of other photoselective lasers – photobleaching, charring -- for minimal collateral tissue damage at wavelengths between 380 nm and 450 nm. Phoenix targets multiple tissue chromophores, tissue breakdown products and melanoidins, short-circuiting char formation. 20th CENTURY LASER SURGERY Surgical procedures for removing excess tissue blocking the male urethra (BPH) have advanced a great deal in...

The fact that fiber optic technology for surgical lasers has steadily improved for two decades is largely due to InnovaQuartz' (IQ) research into fiber failure modes and strategies to overcome those weaknesses. Operating primarily in the background by providing unique solutions for established surgical laser companies, IQ has pushed back boundaries for the science of laser medicine in myriad fields, but none more authoritatively than Urological Surgery. Our patented products and proprietary technologies have blazed the path for others to follow -- We introduced the BlackHole™ High Power Connector in the 1990s and enabled GreenLight™ laser power to rise almost 5-fold starting in the late 1990s subsequently...
