The Waterlase iPlus S system is an erbium, chromium, yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet (ER,CR:YSGG) solid state laser that provides optical energy to the user-controlled distribution of atomized water droplets at 2.78 µm (2780 nm). The laser consists of a cabinet which houses the power supply, the cooling system, micro-controller, laser, foot switch, and fiber optic for delivery of laser energy with the fiber optic handpiece. Various handpiece and tip types are available depending upon the clinician's preference for the different applications. The Waterlase iPlus S system utilizes direct laser energy either with or without water for cooling and hydration to perform soft tissue incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation and hemostasis.
