A fibre optic is used to guide high power NIR laser light into the affected vein and as this is withdrawn the laser light treats the entire vein. After treatment the body naturally absorbs the dead tissue, destroying the affected vein.
Available with powers ranging from two to 12W, these 1,470 and 1,550nm high power fibre coupled modules include a monitor photodiode, TEC, thermistor and visible aiming beam. They are available with fibre pigtail or detachable SMA905 connector.
