The devices belonging to Holmium laser family are laser devices based on a Holmium laser source. The main parts (subsystems) of the device are the Holmium laser source, the power electronics, the optical delivery system, the control electronics and the cooling system. Specific software controls the device functions and allows the user selections. Laser emission is triggered by a footswitch.
