A medical laser system includes a crystal-based laser, an electrosurgery or electrocautery device, a power supply for powering the crystal-based laser and the electrosurgery or electrocautery device, and a controller operably connected to the crystal-based laser, the electrosurgery or electrocautery device, and the power supply. The controller is programmed to: (a) activate the crystal-based laser by controlling power supplied by the power supply to the laser responsive to a laser activation input by a user; and (b) activate the electrosurgery or electrocautery device by controlling power supplied by the power supply to the electrosurgery or electrocautery device responsive to an electrosurgery or electrocautery device activation input by the user.

A medical laser system in accordance with one or more further embodiments includes a crystal-based laser, a power supply for powering the crystal-based laser, a controller operably connected to the crystal-based laser and the power supply, and a memory operably connected to the controller. The controller is programmed to: (a) activate the crystal-based laser to cause a laser light emission by controlling power supplied by the power supply to the laser responsive to a user activation input; and (b) record data in the memory identifying a power level, number of pulses, and duration of the laser light emission.

Embodiments relate to the design and use of a low profile ablation catheter with a liquid core for use in laser ablation removal of arterial plaque blockages to restore blood flow.

A hand-held therapeutic laser apparatus with a special opto-mechanical construction, which enables changeability of a front collimating lens to create different effective laser apertures. A smaller effective aperture has a comparatively higher radiant flux density for treatment of a small area that requires a higher energy dose, while a larger effective aperture facilitates treatment of a large area at a relatively reduced radiant intensity.

An endoscope system includes an endoscope, an illumination portion, a light adjustment portion, an insertion channel configured to allow insertion of a laser probe capable of radiating an aiming monochromatic laser beam, a gain control portion, a halation detection portion, and a control portion, and in a case that halation by the aiming monochromatic laser beam is detected in the halation detection portion, the control portion controls the light adjustment portion to adjust the illumination light and controls the gain control portion to control the gain.

Various aspects disclosed herein relate to a fiber-optic medical treatment apparatus for treatment of a urinary tract, in particular of the urinary bladder, of a subject. An illustrative apparatus may include a first treatment laser source and a fiber-optic device including at least one optical fiber; wherein the fiber-optic device has a proximal end and a distal end configured to be advanced through a working channel of a cystoscope into the urinary tract of a subject, wherein the first treatment laser source is configured to output first treatment laser radiation for treatment of a medical condition of the urinary tract and to optically couple the first treatment laser radiation into the fiber-optic device, wherein the apparatus is configured to emit the first treatment laser radiation from the distal end towards tissue of the urinary tract, in particular of the urinary bladder, to be treated.

A system 100 for automated laser-assisted dermatological treatment is provided; the system includes a robot arm assembly 120, including a laser head 101 coupled to the robot arm 102 and a controlling unit 110. The system is configured to remove an undesirable dermatological condition from skin by directing laser energy to a pre-defined skin surface area intended for treatment essentially in an absence of human attendance. A method for real-time controlling an automated laser-assisted removal of undesirable dermatological condition from skin implemented by a system 100 and a computer program product for causing the computer to execute the method are further provided.

A method and system for thermal and non-thermal laser treatments includes a visible laser source. A laser beam in the visible spectrum is generated by the visible laser source and produces a modulated laser output. Laser controls allows the user to generate the pulsed output with variable pulse characteristics to provide selective, localized and user controlled thermal and or non-thermal biological effects at a targeted tissues. This laser system modulates the delivered laser energy to produce accurate and selective targeting of the pigmented cells of the treated tissues to induce therapeutic effects via gentle warming of the cells without significant collateral damage to surrounding tissues.

A medical laser system includes a crystal-based laser, a power supply for powering the crystal-based laser, a controller operably connected to the crystal-based laser and the power supply, and a liquid cooling system. The liquid cooling system includes a conduit circuit through which a cooling liquid can circulate. The conduit circuit is thermally coupled to the crystal-based laser such that the cooling liquid in the conduit circuit absorbs heat from the crystal-based laser. One or more heat sinks are coupled to the conduit circuit and to the power supply such that the cooling liquid in the conduit circuit absorbs heat from the power supply. A pump is provided for driving the cooling liquid through the conduit circuit. A heat exchanger cools the cooling liquid in the conduit circuit.
