Surgical laser optical fiber R600

What difference to Radial Fibres make? For many years, Endovenous Laser Ablation was carried out using a simple, bare tip laser fibre. Although this fibre is still extremely effective in sealing the vein, some patients will still experience discomfort in the treated leg for 1-2 weeks. The discomfort experienced by patients is usually not severe and seldom prevents activities of daily living – however, in an effort to minimise such discomfort, modern, more sophisticated laser fibres have been introduced. The most promising of these is the Radial Fibre. Radial Fibres emit laser light circumferentially (that is, in a 360-degree arc) around the tip of the fibre rather than as a thin beam straight ahead.
