Laser System
A diode laser system that delivers
200 W of cladding-free optical power
can be used for fiber-laser pumping.
The 200-W and 200-μm fiber-coupled
series is controllable via 24-V interface signals. The series can incorporate wavelengths ranging from 640 to
1940 nm. The turnkey system includes
a metal-armored fiber, optical-imaging
unit, and laser warning lamps. The series can be combined with accessories
to include laser processing heads, cameras, galvo scanners, pyrometers, or a
combination of pyrometer and galvo
scanners. DILAS Diode Laser Inc., Tucson, AZ, 520/232-3480.

HYDAK® hydrophilic coatings for catheters,
guidewires and other medical devices.
Devices coated with Hydak coatings are proven
to facilitate diagnostic and interventional
procedures. That’s because Hydak coatings are
based on hyaluronan, a naturally occurring
biopolymer found in all body tissues and fluids.
This natural lubricant is biocompatible,
hydrophilic, and lubricious. As a result, tortuous
vessels can be negotiated quickly and safely.
Hydak coatings are non-thrombogenic, and resist protein adsorption and
the adhesion of bacteria. These coatings offer consistent performance on a
broad range of metallic and polymeric substrates and can be applied to lumens.
Take advantage of our 15 years experience in partnership with innovative device
manufacturers.
Call us if you have questions or to arrange sample coatings.
