Holmium:YAG laser is currently the dominant lithotripter used during retrograde intrarenal surgery. The laser energy is delivered to the target via flexible optical laser fibers. The performance characteristics of laser fibers vary. The diameter, flexibility, resistance to fracture with bending, and tip configuration are all important factors that contribute to a fiber's overall performance. Understanding these characteristics assists the end user with proper fiber selection for procedures.
钬激光目前是逆行性肾内手术中使用的主要碎石设备。激光能量通过柔性光学激光纤维传递至目标部位。激光纤维的性能特点各不相同。直径、柔韧性、抗弯曲断裂性以及尖端构造都是影响纤维整体性能的重要因素。了解这些特性有助于终端用户在手术中正确选择纤维。
