The Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser is the ophthalmic industry’s premier YAG laser for capsulotomies and iridotomies. With a firing rate of up to 3 hertz, the Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser is the fastest Photodisruptor available. The Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser 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 YAG lasers simply cannot achieve.

The newest IOL materials are often more sensitive to laser energy, which poses new challenges when performing capsulotomy treatments. The Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser 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.

Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser Flexible, Fully Integrated Design
The Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser features a fully integrated design which optimizes laser treatment and provides a number of advantages, including more stable, reliable and consistent energy delivery. The Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser built-in slit lamp features converging optics to provide a more natural stereoscopic view, ideal for anterior segment viewing. The compact, efficient design of the Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser creates more working space for the physician, as well as convenient, simultaneous access to the patient and laser controls. The Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser self-contained design, in which the laser and controls are integrated into the slit lamp, provides optimal ease of use and flexibility for adapting to different working conditions.

Ellex Ultra Q YAG Laser Ultra Gaussian Beam Mode Enables Lower Energy Treatments
The Ultra Gaussian beam profile and fast plasma rise time result in an ultra-low optical breakdown (in air) at approximately 1.8 mJ in optimal conditions, compared to fundamental mode lasers that typically achieve optical breakdown (in air) at 3 to 4 mJ. This optimized laser energy enables capsulotomies and iridotomies to be performed at lower, more efficient power levels, resulting in a much lower risk of lens pitting, more efficient tissue cutting with fewer shots and less cumulative energy delivered.

Ellex Super Q YAG Laser Unique Solid-State Q-Switch
Life-tested to deliver 400,000 shots, the Ellex Super Q YAG Laser solid-state Q-switch does not deteriorate over time like more common YAG Q-switches, and dramatically reduces long-term operating costs.

Ellex Super Q YAG Laser Focusing System
Detection of aiming deviations of as little as 8 microns from the focal plane ensures that energy is placed where intended in relation to the target. With the Ellex Super Q YAG Laser tolerance range of ± 8 microns, the physician can easily detect if the system is out of focus.
