AccuFlex <br />
Single-Use Holmium Laser Fiber<br />
The AccuFlex Single Use Holmium Laser Fiber is designed to efficiently deliver focused holmium energy and offers the<br />
necessary flexibility to meet the challenging deflection needs of flexible ureteroscopy. The AccuFlex Fiber combines a patented<br />
Black Hole SMA Connector with a specialized fiber construction that is designed to maximize performance and flexibility while<br />
minimizing scope and laser console damage. The AccuFlex Fiber also features a laser-polished distal output tip designed to<br />
prevent energy loss as the laser energy leaves the fiber.<br />
EFFICIENT ENERGY TRANSMISSION<br />
An independent study demonstrated that the AccuFlex 200 Fiber delivered up to<br />
63% more energy than the ACMI/Dornier 200 Brand Fiber at the same power settings.*<br />

VARIETY OF SIZES<br />
The AccuFlex Fiber is offered in a wide variety of sizes to meet the needs of different surgical situations. The smaller<br />
AccuFlex Fiber sizes are designed for optimum performance during flexible ureteroscopy, offering a high degree of flexibility<br />
and visibility. The larger sizes are well suited for semi-rigid ureteroscopy, cystoscopy, and percutaneous applications. The<br />
AccuFlex 150 Fiber is the smallest core urology fiber available today.<br />
