Photodisruptors

Photodisruptors are Nd:YAG lasers that deliver short pulses of infrared light in the form of microplasma bursts. In ophthalmology, they have become essential tools for removing the scar tissue and opacity that can occur after cataract surgery, and for lowering the pressure associated with angle closure glaucoma. Ellex is the preferred manufacturer of photodisruptors, supplying over 50 percent of the global market.

UltraQ

The Ellex Ultra Q is the ophthalmic industry's premier capsulotomy and iridotomy laser. With a firing rate of up to 3 hertz, it is the industry’s fastest photodisruptor. The Ultra Q also features a custom-designed laser cavity tested to deliver an exceptional lifespan, as well as a fine, two-point focusing system that provides a level of precision other photodisruptors simply cannot achieve. The newest IOL materials are often more sensitive to laser energy, which poses new challenges when performing capsulotomy treatments. The Ultra Q incorporates Ellex's most refined YAG laser technology, which produces an Ultra Gaussian treatment beam and enables consistent optical breakdown at ultra-low energy. This, in turn, results in less risk of lens pitting, more efficient tissue cutting with fewer shots, less cumulative energy delivered and faster procedures.

SuperQ

The Ellex Super Q photodisruptor provides precise and reliable treatments for anterior eye disease. The Super Q is designed for easy transport between multiple sites and combines comprehensive safety features with a firing rate of up to 2 Hz. It also features a custom-designed laser cavity with an exceptional lifespan. The Super Q meets new challenges in posterior capsulotomy procedures through refined YAG laser technology that provides more consistent optical breakdown at lower energy. The result is lower risk of lens pitting, more efficient tissue cutting with fewer shots, less cumulative energy delivered and faster procedures.
