The HPS laser is capable of greater power than the 80 W KTP system. HPS laser beam effects appeared more optically confined than those of its lower power brethren. It consistently vaporized more tissue during a given period while maintaining a 1 to 2 mm rim of coagulation, like its predecessors. The HPS should be applied carefully due to the ability to rapidly create full-thickness tissue vaporization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
