Interventions
A new laser system developed by Dornier, the Thulio pulsed Thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG ) is beginning to be studied in vitro and in vivo. Dornier Thulio p-Tm:YAG may represent an attractive new laser platform, with comparable properties to TFL including decreased retropulsion, smaller dust, and improved ablation efficiency relative to Ho:YAG.
The thulium fiber laser (TFL) has demonstrated effectiveness in this procedure
