Medical laser with two parallel wavelengths for quick, uncomplicated surgical treatment

At the BIOS 2011 (booth 8601) LIMO presents the particularly compact diode laser with a wavelength of 1470 nm that has been supplemented by an additional parallel wavelength: 980 nm, 940 nm or 810 nm. This long established standard wavelength on the medical market, combined with the expedient wavelength of 1470 nm, can be individually controlled. The power rating of the fiber-coupled laser is 15 W and 30 W. On request, a power rating of >100 W can also be supplied.
The dimensions of the potential-free housing are greatly reduced but, however, completely equipped: protective window, fiber contact switch, monitor diode and pilot laser are already integrated. The combination of a compact design with all additional and safety features makes it suitable for integration into OEM appliances, without causing additional development and production costs. Furthermore, the high-performance laser module makes it possible for the end user to operate at practically all working and ambient temperatures and in nearly all operating modes of cw up to the most varied pulsed conditions.
Without exception, the LIMO diode laser modules are maintenance-free, so that flexible warranty periods can be provided. This has the advantage that costs are completely eliminated in the event of replacement.
The product is optimally suitable in the end use for medical treatment in the field of modern surgery and urology. The two wavelengths make higher absorption possible of the laser in water and haemoglobin. In addition to the high removal rates, the treatment can be carried out ambulant, quick and with care. Further advantages for operative treatment are:
- safe and high precision treatment (less bleeding, protection of the adjacent tissue)
- minimum postoperative complaints
- quick, uncomplicated healing (no stitches)

Founded in 1992 - 190 employees - 24 nations - more than 300 patents

At LIMOs headquarters in Dortmund, Germany, an international team of more than 190 engineers, physicists, technicians and many other specialized staff develops customized solutions and manufactures innovative products. LIMO was founded near Paderborn in 1992, relocated to the “Technologiezentrum Dortmund” in 1995 and operates today from industrial park “Dortmund Wickede”, located in the direct neighborhood of the Dortmund airport. On 10,000 m² floor space, LIMO runs approximately 2000 m² of clean room and 800 m² of in-house metal machine shops. At present LIMO holds more than 300 patents.

We regard ourselves as strategic partner to leading companies using laser photons. Our mission is to make business partners in the materials processing & photonic industries more successful with our cutting edge technologies. We are world-market leader in refractive micro-optics and have been awarded for this technology with the “world’s first innovation award 2007”. (Innovationspreis der deutschen Wirtschaft 2007) A laser beam can be effectively shaped and directed by the use of this award-winning technique – therefore, it is possible to create, e.g., linear or rectangular beam shapes. The following industries benefit from our customized solutions: Microlithography, medical equipment, photonics (solid-state and fiber lasers), flat panel display- and photovoltaic production, automotive manufacturing and all other industries that use high power lasers.
