80-watt Holmium:YAG Surgical Laser System
Fee-Per-Case Services
Key Benefits
Services MST provides ONLY state-of-the-art 80 watt Holmium:YAG surgical laser systems, assuring you of the most expeditious procedures. Our 80 watt machines provide both the power and speed needed to perform any current procedure. All of our Ho:YAG systems are capable of delivering both waveforms of the Ho:YAG wavelength – traditional single pulse and DoublePulse™. DoublePulse allows you to deliver more energy to hard substances with less risk of damaging surrounding soft tissues. The Holmium:YAG laser works by generating both heat and an acoustic shock bubble. Acoustic shock is one mechanism responsible for stone migration when utilizing a laser as a lithotrite. Our DoublePulse technology allows greater calculi fragmentation, while reducing the potential risk of soft tissue injury encountered with single pulse mode. The net result is rapid stone ablation with less risk of soft tissue damage and reduced calculi migration. All MST certified laser operators are sent to the manufacturer’s facility for extensive factory training, ensuring you of the safest, most trouble-free laser case possible. All MST Certified Laser Operators are also MLSO (Medical Laser Safety Officer) certified. All MST laser systems are registered with the Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC), within the Texas Department of Health, as required by state law. BRC registration number - Z01197. Trimedyne and MST carry extensive product liability insurance and professional liability insurance on its certified laser operators, respectively. Insurance certificates are available upon request. MST provides a minimum of twelve (12) wavelength specific laser safety eyewear and two (2) sterile probes for each procedure scheduled. Our minimum standards and our policies and procedures exceed those established currently by JCAHO (ANSI Z136.3:1996). Pricing includes delivery, setup, ANSI laser safety signs, ANSI laser safety eye wear, a certified laser operator, any necessary smoke evacuation systems, and any and all arthroscopy, urology, plastic surgery, dermatalogic, ENT, Ob/GYN, general surgery, and/or gastroenterology delivery systems. Spinal probes vary depending on the facility's equipment and surgeon's preference and are furnished based on surgeon’s preference. Pricing varies with spinal probe requested.
