The Lumina TFL System harnesses Thulium Fiber technology to deliver superior stone dusting efficiency and precise soft tissue ablation with minimal retropulsion.
Lumina TFL System Interface
Simulated View
Thulium Fiber wavelength (1940nm) matches the peak water absorption coefficient, limiting depth of penetration to 0.15mm for critical safety margins.
Experience near-zero retropulsion. The continuous wave mode and super-pulsed options up to 2400Hz allow for fine dusting without chasing fragments.
Reduced OR time through faster ablation rates compared to Ho:YAG. Uses standard wall power outlet with significantly reduced energy consumption.
Unlike traditional Holmium:YAG lasers that rely on flash lamps and crystal rods, the Lumina TFL utilizes a diode-pumped long active fiber source. This architecture enables:
Compared to Ho:YAG (2100nm), the 1940nm wavelength creates faster ablation.
Compatible with fibers as small as 150µm for improved irrigation flow and scope deflection.
Air-cooled system reduces OR noise pollution, enhancing team communication.

Compared to standard Ho:YAG pulse modes, reducing stone migration and procedure time.
Produces smaller particle sizes (<0.5mm), facilitating easier washout without basket retrieval.
"The transition to Thulium Fiber has fundamentally changed my workflow. The dusting speed is incomparable, and the lack of noise reduces OR fatigue significantly."Dr. A. Schmidt Chief of Endourology, University Hospital Berlin
TFL uses a diode-pumped fiber source emitting at 1940nm, closer to the water absorption peak than Ho:YAG (2100nm). This allows for lower energy per pulse but much higher frequencies, resulting in finer dusting and less retropulsion.
No. Unlike high-power Ho:YAG systems that often require 3-phase power, the Lumina TFL operates on a standard domestic power outlet (100-240V), making it easy to move between ORs.
The system is optimized for use with our proprietary silica fibers ranging from 150µm to 600µm. The 150µm fiber is ideal for flexible ureteroscopy to maximize irrigation flow.
Yes, the system is indicated for incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis of soft tissue in urology, including BPH enucleation (ThuLEP).
