1.2 Intended Use
The NUVOLAS is intended to be used for treatments requiring coagulation or
carbonization/vaporization of tissue, bony structures or blood. At high power outputs,
tissue can be carbonized and removed or separated by vaporization.
At low power output, heating of tissue or blood results in enzyme denaturation and
coagulation e.g. of blood vessels. For this effect, the laser is used together with
application fibers aiming the laser beam at the target tissue either directly in contact or
non-contact or via further optics e.g. through handpieces.
The laser effect allows focused treatment of the disease area with minimal impact on the
surrounding tissue.
The laser can be applied both in unsterile environment, for instance at a physician’s
examination room, and in a sterile environment e.g. operating theater.
It can be used in conjunction with e.g. handpieces or endoscopes where the fiber is fed
through the fiber/working channel to allow the physician to treat the desired area with the
laser.
