GreenLight PV™ Laser System for BPH-Treatment    
Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP)   
      

 
For the physician:

  TURP-like results without the complications
   Virtually bloodless - minimal anesthesia
   Reduced procedure time

For the patient:

   Reduced hospitalization stay
   Short duration of catheterization
   Few irritative symptoms (dysuria, hematuria)
   Recovery time reduced from three week

            

High Power KTP/532 nm Laser System (potassium–titanyl-phosphate)
80 Watt average/280 Watt peak power

The GreenLight PV™ System of LASERSCOPE- FDA approved - allows the urologist to treat rapidly and mini-invasively glands of virtually any size (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia - BPH - or enlarged prostate).

The Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) uses a highly hemostatic wavelength and is nearly bloodless. In most of the cases, it is performed under spinal anesthesia. The laser energy at 80 W is delivered by a side-firing fiber through a continuous-flow cystoscope.

Because the system operates superficially (0.8 mm) and does not heat up large tissue volumes, it avoids gross necrosis of tissue, edema or delayed sloughing.

The KTP/532 green light is highly absorbed
in oxy-hemoglobin and minimally absorbed in water. This makes the system, unlike other lasers, a uniquely appropriate tool for a non-contact soft tissue vaporization in a liquid environment.

The effect of the Greenlight PVP™ wavelength is so hemostatic that even patients on anticoagulants may be treated with little fear of complications.
