DESCRIPTION
Spectranetics CVX-300 Excimer Laser SystemProven technology for the treatment of multiple cardiovascular procedures and safe removal of plaque, calcium and thrombus. Photoablation is the use of light to break down, vaporize and remove matter. Spectranetics CVX-300® Excimer Laser facilitates photoablation via a variety of Spectranetics catheters to remove arterial plaques and binding scar tissue surrounding cardiac pacemaker ICD leads.

3RepliesSun Nov 17 2024 | Service We have an older Spectranetics CVX 300 laser that's not working anymore and Phillips will not work on it because they consider it too old. Does anyone know of our outside company or person that might work on this? We're located in San Antonio Texas. Equipment: Spectranetics - CVX-300 Reply |

FEATURES
[list] [*] Photochemical: Breaking molecular bonds - UV light pulse hits tissue for 135-billionths of a second (135ns); the duration of the laser pulse - 50 microns penetration - Billions of molecular bonds fractures per pulse - After 135-billionths of a second, laser energy is not emitted [*] Photothermal: Producing thermal energy - Absorption vibrates the molecular bonds of the plaque - Vibration of bonds heats intracellular water - Water vaporizes, molecules break apart, and cells rupture - Expanding vapor bubble forms in 100-millionths of a second (100 µs) [*] Photomechanical: Creating kinetic energy - Expansion and collapse of vapor bubble breaks down tissue and clears byproducts away from tip - Byproducts of ablation are water, gas, and small particles - Entire process time per pulse is 400-millionths of a second (400 µs) [/list]
