Indications for Use

The BWF-5 Medical Laser Series (810nm, 930nm, 1080nm and 1320nm) are intended for delivery of laser light to soft tissue in the contact or non-contact mode during surgical procedures, including via endoscopes, introducers, or catheters. The BWF-5 Medical Laser Series are generally indicated for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis or coagulation of soft tissue in ear, nose and throat and oral surgery (otolary). And and procedures, arthroscopy, gastroenterology, general surgery, dermatology, glastic, sugery, podiatry, urology, gynecology, neurosurgery (peripheral nervous system), pulmonary surgery and thoracic surgery. The device is specifically indicated for use as follows: LASER 980nm: Indicated for use with the VARI-LASE Procedure Kit in the Endovascular coagulation of the Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV) of the thigh in patients with Superficial Vein Reflux. LASER 1320mm: Indicated for use with the VARI-LASE Procedure Kit in the treatment of reflux of great saphenous veins associated with varicose veins and varicosities. LASER 810nm: Indicated for use in the treatment of varicose veins and varicosities associated with superficial reflux of the Great Saphenous Vein and for treatment of incompetence and reflux of superficial veins in the lower extremity.

Device Story

BWF-5 Medical Laser Series delivers laser light (810nm, 930nm, 1080nm, 1320nm) to soft tissue; operates in contact or non-contact modes; compatible with endoscopes, introducers, or catheters. Used by physicians in surgical settings for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, or coagulation. Specific endovascular applications utilize the VARI-LASE Procedure Kit for treating superficial vein reflux and varicose veins. Laser energy induces thermal effects on target tissue to achieve clinical outcomes; provides precise tissue interaction for surgical procedures.

Clinical Evidence
