SWING 15

The SWING is the first Polish semiconductor laser.
The SWING laser emits radiation with a wavelength of 1470 nm. This is the optimal wavelength for penetration into the skin. Appropriately low absorption in hemoglobin and melanin,
and at the same time high for selective photothermolysis in water and fat. This wave is absorbed by cellular water 40 times better than 980nm laser and 160 times better than
1064nm laser. These features make the SWING 15 series lasers excellent tools for endovascular treatments, proctological treatments, laser lipolysis,
and a number of others.

Laryngology and gynaecology – surgical procedures, including endoscopy.

Endovascular removal of inefficient venous trunks (EVLT).

The modern method of endovascular treatment allows for the closure of the lumen of the saphenous vein without the need for crosectomy. An optical fibre is inserted into the inefficient vein to bring the laser beam to the treatment site. The supplied radiant energy causes rapid contraction and closure of the inefficient vein. Such a reaction to laser radiation avoids the need to remove it. An indisputable advantage of this method is its low invasiveness, allowing the patient to move freely immediately after the procedure.
The 1470nm wavelength laser is the gold standard in EVLT for the main trunk veins.
The high absorption of radiation with a wavelength of 1470 nm in water limits the impact of the beam only to the closed vein, without interfering with the surrounding tissues.  

The result is:

Reduced pain sensations.

Minimized risk of vein perforation and carbonization.

Minimized risk of discoloration on the surface of the skin where the obliterated vein runs close to its surface

These advantages make the SWING 1470nm laser a much better choice for EVLT procedures than the 980nm and 1064nm wavelength lasers. The EVLT procedure is performed using radial fibers (ring-shaped luminous fibers).

SWING diode lasers are also often used in proctological surgery. Haemorrhoids are particularly unpleasant ailments for the patient, the treatment of which with traditional methods is long, burdensome, and often not very effective. The use of diode lasers significantly accelerates the treatment time and gives better and longer results.
The 1470nm wavelength has a high degree of absorption in tissue water with simultaneous effects on the blood. This bio-physical property makes the ablation zone shallow and controlled, resulting in no risk of damage to adjacent tissues.
The procedure is performed using a sagittal fiber, which is characterized by a significant reduction in the forward emission of radiation energy (as opposed to bare fibers). The energy delivered from the sagittal fiber tip guarantees homogeneous tissue ablation, without penetrating beyond the planned therapeutic area. The design of the optical fiber allows it to be inserted into the hemorrhoid pile without any injuries.
Other proctological procedures that can be effectively performed with the SWING laser are pilonidal cysts, rectal fistulas and anal fissures.

PLDD together with IDET (Intradiscal Electrothermal Therapy) and cryoablation of the nerves are recognized as minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of radicular pain in the spine. PLDD procedures are performed under local anesthesia. Under X-ray guidance (C-arm), a cannula with an optical fiber is inserted into the disc. By giving the contrast, we assess the structure of the disc and the position of the cannula.The emission of laser radiation causes disc decompression and reduction of intradiscal pressure. A small amount of nucleus pulposus is evaporated. This method minimizes the risk of damage to the dural sac, spinal roots, or the spinal cord itself. PLDD does not strengthen the fibrous ring, it is a repair procedure – it reduces the volume of the disc and thus reduces the pressure inside it.

One of the latest applications of radiation emitted by laser devices is laser lipolysis, also known as low-volume liposuction. The essence of laser lipolysis is the selective action of the laser beam on adipose tissue, causing thermal destruction of fat cells. The beam emitted by SWING lasers with a wavelength of 1470nm is close to fat absorption peaks, which guarantees effective liposuction of local obesity and body shaping.
A unique feature of the laser treatment is a significant improvement in skin elasticity, achieved as a result of heating collagen fibers over the treatment site.
