Soft tissue treatment
Futonics thulium fiber lasers are designed for integration into modern medical laser systems for precise soft-tissue treatment. Emitting in the 2 µm wavelength range, the laser radiation is strongly absorbed by water-rich tissue. This makes the technology particularly suitable for controlled cutting, ablation, vaporization and coagulation in medical applications.
With up to 1200 W peak power, pulse energies of up to 10 J, high average power, precise energy delivery and flexible pulse control, Futonics laser engines enable efficient and reproducible tissue processing. The systems are designed for OEM integration into surgical instruments, endoscopic platforms and medical laser systems.
High peak power, pulse energy and average power
Futonics offers high-performance thulium fiber lasers with up to 1200 W peak power and pulse energies of up to 10 J. These performance characteristics provide high energy availability for demanding soft-tissue applications and offer a broad process window for different treatment modes.
In addition, the systems provide high average output power for efficient tissue processing. The water-cooled QCW system reaches average powers of more than 200 W, while the air-cooled version offers up to 120 W average power.
This combination of high peak power, high pulse energy and high average power supports fast, controlled and reproducible treatment processes. Depending on the application, the laser parameters can be adapted for cutting, ablation, vaporization, coagulation or combined treatment modes.
Precise energy delivery in the 2 µm wavelength range
The 2 µm wavelength is highly relevant for many medical applications because it is strongly absorbed by water-rich tissue. This enables locally confined energy delivery and a controlled thermal effect in the target area.
As a result, Futonics thulium fiber lasers can support precise tissue processing with reduced thermal spread into adjacent areas. For medical system manufacturers, this provides a suitable basis for developing surgical laser platforms with high process control and reproducible treatment performance.
Flexible pulse control for different treatment modes
A key advantage of Futonics thulium fiber laser technology is the flexible control of laser parameters. Pulse duration, pulse shape, repetition rate and output power can be adapted to the requirements of the respective medical laser system.
This flexibility enables the development of different treatment modes for soft tissue, such as precise cutting, controlled ablation, vaporization or coagulation. OEM customers gain greater freedom in designing modern surgical and endoscopic laser platforms.
Water-cooled and air-cooled system options
For different integration requirements, Futonics offers water-cooled and air-cooled laser options. The water-cooled system is particularly suitable for applications requiring high average powers of more than 200 W and robust continuous performance.
The air-cooled version, with up to 120 W average power, provides a compact and integration-friendly solution for medical systems where space, maintenance effort and system complexity need to be reduced. Both concepts support reliable integration into OEM laser systems.
Why Futonics thulium fiber lasers are suitable for soft tissue
Futonics combines advanced FBG manufacturing technology, patented coupling techniques and compact laser engine design for integration into medical laser systems. High beam quality, stable output performance and flexible operating parameters make the systems particularly suitable for demanding medical OEM applications.
The laser architecture enables precise energy delivery through flexible fibers and supports a wide parameter range for different treatment concepts. This allows medical device manufacturers to develop soft-tissue laser systems with high performance, compact integration and flexible control of treatment parameters.
