Gas/Liquid Cooled Optical Fibre
The LGO gas cooled fibre has a fibre core diameter of 600 µm. The application diameter is between 1.8 and 2.1 mm. The distal end of the fibre has a flat tip with a nozzle.
The medical application fields for the gas cooled fibre are gastroenterology and pneumology, for instance. Laser coagulation as a method for medical application with this fibre has particularly proven itself for gastric tumours and carcinomas. It is also suitable for the therapy of vulnerable tumours and rare symptoms such a the GAVE syndrome ("watermelon stomach") and angiodysplasias. Last but not least, the use of the fibre for such medical application fields as argon plasma coagulation technology (APC) and electrocoagulation technology is also known.
The 600 µm fibre core diameter is ideally suitable for the use of the Nd:YAG laser, with which the most extensive experience has been gathered in thermal tumour destruction at a wavelength of 1064 nm according to medical process descriptions. In addition it is possible to equip the probe systems with an RFID chip including the required license which can be obtained from us (cf. page 32: RFID components). We of course also offer individual solutions.
