Lares introduces PowerLase™ ST6

Nov. 10, 2003
Designed to cut and coagulate soft tissue, the PowerLase system delivers pulsed laser energy to the treatment site of up to 6 watts delivering a maximum energy per pulse of 200 mJ at 30Hz.

The Lares Research PowerLase™ ST6 represents a breakthrough in the miniaturization of high performance soft tissue dental lasers. A compact and reliable laser, the PowerLase weighs less than 34 pounds and measures only 9.4" W x 14" H x 18.5" L, making it the lightest and smallest full-power pulsed free-running Nd:YAG laser on the market today.

The PowerLase delivers the power and performance to treat periodontal disease following the Laser SoftCare™ protocol. It is also perfect for incising, excising, and coagulating intra-oral soft tissue, including the marginal and interdental gingival, and for other procedures such as first degree caries removal.

Designed to cut and coagulate soft tissue in the mouth, the PowerLase system delivers pulsed laser energy to the treatment site of up to 6 watts delivering a maximum energy per pulse of 200 mJ at 30Hz. The laser wavelength is 1064nm, which is invisible light in the near infrared spectrum.

The PowerLase is compact, portable, self-contained, and fits easily on a counter top. With its built-in handle or optional cart, it may also be transported between operatories with ease. The PowerLase features short pulse duration and long pulse duration modes of operation. The unit consists of a console, fiber-optic cable, handpiece, and footswitch. Special safety eyewear is included.
