Lumenis, a medical device company on Friday launched Moses holmium Technology for the laser-energy treatment of various types of stones in urinary system —especially kidney, ureteric and bladder stones.

The technology has been designed to reduce retropulsion through limited delivery of laser energy during lithoripsy, minimising stone migration —thereby, enhancing physicians control to treat stones even in difficult to reach locations.

The technology uses holmium laser system providing surgeons with better control during holmium lithoripsy procedures, including stone dusting and stone fragmentation. Over 200 patients have been treated with the Technology.

Speaking at the launch, Professor Khurshid Ghani, Michigan University, said: “Using Moses Technology for the stone treatment, I performed, I noticed better control of the stone and less dependency on the distance of the fiber from the stone.”

Country Head of Lumenis India, Dharmendra Mistry, said: “The procedure might be expensive for the patient depending upon the pricing standards of the respective hospitals, but the technology guarantees a quality treatment —first of its kind for urology application in India.”

Senior Director Marketing of Lumenis India & South Asia, Rashik Mokhdoomi, said: “Moses Technology provides superior and advanced technology to urology surgeons for better patient care.”
