Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL): Redefining Precision in Modern Urology

Advancements in laser technology are reshaping the landscape of urological procedures. Among these innovations, the Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) has emerged as a next-generation solution—delivering superior precision, efficiency, and clinical performance across a wide range of applications.

At JAT Medical, we are proud to introduce advanced urology technologies through our partnership with Coloplast, bringing cutting-edge solutions like the TFL Drive system to healthcare providers across Saudi Arabia.

What is Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL)?

Thulium Fiber Laser is a high-frequency, low-energy laser technology designed for minimally invasive urological procedures. Operating at a wavelength of approximately 1940 nm, it offers optimal absorption in water—making it highly effective for both stone treatment and soft tissue applications.

Unlike conventional approaches, TFL delivers controlled, precise energy, enabling improved surgical outcomes with reduced collateral tissue impact.

Clinical Applications of TFL in Urology

TFL technology is widely used across multiple urological procedures, including:

• Lithotripsy (Kidney & Ureteral Stones)
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) treatment
• Soft tissue incision, ablation, and coagulation
• Endoscopic urological procedures

Its versatility allows surgeons to perform multiple interventions using a single platform, enhancing workflow efficiency in the operating room.

Key Advantages of TFL Technology

1. Efficient Stone Treatment

TFL enables high ablation efficiency with fine dusting capability, supporting effective stone fragmentation and management.

2. Enhanced Procedural Control

The technology allows for stable and controlled energy delivery, supporting precision during delicate urological procedures.

3. Optimized Energy Utilization

TFL operates effectively at lower energy levels, contributing to improved procedural efficiency and safety.

4. Wide Range of Settings

With adjustable energy (0.02–6 J) and frequency up to 2500 Hz, TFL provides flexibility to adapt to various clinical scenarios.

5. Precision in Soft Tissue Treatment

The laser supports controlled interaction with tissue, making it suitable for procedures requiring high accuracy, such as prostate enucleation.

Designed for Surgical Safety and Workflow Efficiency

The Coloplast TFL Drive system is engineered to support surgeons with:

• Pre-set safety parameters and intuitive interface
• Real-time alerts when exceeding power limits
• Compact and lightweight design for OR flexibility
• Air-cooled system for quiet operation
• Dual footswitch for seamless intraoperative control

Clinical data shows that in 94.1% of cases, surgeons operated within predefined safety settings—highlighting its reliability in real-world clinical practice.

Flexible Fiber Compatibility for Diverse Applications

TFL supports a wide range of fiber sizes—from 150 µm to 1000 µm, enabling:

• Improved scope flexibility
• Better irrigation and visibility
• Adaptability across different procedures

This flexibility enhances both clinical performance and user experience in endourology.
