DESCRIPTION
The iLase™ dental soft tissue laser is a surgical device designed for a wide variety of dental soft
tissue procedures. The iLase uses a solid state laser diode as a source of invisible infrared radiation.
The energy is delivered to the treatment site via a single-use fiber optic tip assembly. Several types
of tips are available for use with the iLase to perform different procedures.
The iLase system consists of two elements:
►
The iLase Handpiece contains the laser diode, the replaceable fiber optic tip, removable cover
with integrated finger grip, a main body with control electronics, integrated selector·switch, organic
LED (OLED) display, and rechargeable battery. The iLase Handpiece delivers laser energy, under
user control, to the treatment site.

The iLase Charging Station is used for charging and storing the
iLase and replacement batteries. The iLase and discharged
batteries are placed in receptacles in the charging station where
they are automatically recharged. Up to four batteries with or
without main bodies attached may be charged at one time.
The Charging Station contains four charging indicator lights located on the front panel of the charger.
There is one indicator for each of the battery receptacles at the top of the unit. When the indicator
displays an amber color, the battery is charging. A green light indicates that the Battery is fully
charged. The charging station is powered by a low voltage power supply that connects at the rear of
the unit.
