TWISTER™

The ultimate fiber for effective laser vaporization of the prostate

The new TWISTERTM fiber was developed to offer unmatched ablation rates and excellent reliability.

Due to its special ability to work in contact mode, performance loss and fiber degradation are things of the past. With the new patented bend design the TWISTERTM fiber gives you a direct tactile feedback of the area you want to ablate or vaporize.

In combination with the Laser Series the TWISTERTM achieves ablation rates of 2-3 grams and reduces the operating time by 50% or more compared to present side fibers.

Clinical tests have proven that a 40-50 gram prostate can be treated in less than 15 minutes while keeping the well known hemostasis characteristics of the EVOLVETM Laser System.
