Laserscope to launch new products to treat urological conditions

By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, May 18 - Laserscope said Thursday that the company will introduce a new laser system for the treatment of BPH and other medical conditions, as well as several new urology products at an upcoming medical conference.

The GreenLight HPS, or High Performance System, is a state-of-the-art surgical laser technology designed to deliver improvements in surgical speed and precision in a multi-application platform using standard utilities, according to a company news release.

The system and associated single-use disposable delivery devices were developed in response to extensive market and clinical research and input from urology customers, officials said.

Major features of the system include a high-power, low-divergence laser beam that allows for precise and rapid tissue vaporization over a wide range of working distances, anatomy configurations and tissue compositions, high efficiency, air-cooled design and a new delivery device design that eliminates backscatter, protecting vital tissue structures and providing higher efficiency vaporization, officials said.

Other products for the treatment of BPH, urinary stones and bladder tumors and strictures, will be launched at the American Urological Association annual meeting slated for May 20-25 in Atlanta.

Those new products will begin shipping within the next quarter, officials said.

Based in San Jose, Calif., Laserscope makes a line of minimally invasive medical products including medical laser systems and related energy delivery devices for the office, outpatient surgical center and hospital markets.
