Cylindrical Diffuser

The LGO cylindrical diffuser is designed primarily for photo dynamic therapy (PDT) with all conventional laser models. Due to its small exterior diameter and its high flexibility, it is particularly suitable for endoscopic methods in PDT. Customers can order the probe in various sizes, depending on their requirements. The active length for example varies between 10 and 100 mm. The cylindrical radial beam profile is consistent over the active length of the diffuser.

Our cylindrical diffusers are equipped with x-ray markers to ensure easy and correct positioning at the point of application. Upon request we also produce the probe without x-ray markers.

Photodynamic therapy is a modern therapeutic method for the treatment of tumours and pathological tissue changes such as skin cancer and skin diseases. The patient takes a so-called photosensitiser (a light-activated substance), which particularly accumulates in the tumour. After a short time the tumour is irradiated and damaged using light with a suitable wavelength.

In addition it is possible to equip the probe systems with an RFID chip including the required license which can be obtained from us. We of course also offer individual  solutions.
