Holmium laser systems are widely used in modern urology for procedures such as lithotripsy and soft-tissue work. These lasers operate primarily at 2100 nm and 2080 nm, a wavelength range that requires specialised eye protection to prevent retinal and corneal damage from diffuse and direct reflections. The LG-090Z Holmium Laser Safety Glasses are engineered specifically for these clinical environments, offering verified protection across holmium, CO₂ and additional near-infrared and UV bands.

Wavelength Protection and Optical Density

The glasses provide OD 5+ at 2100 nm (Holmium) with a measured protection of OD 5.6, ensuring substantial attenuation during high-energy procedures. They also provide:

• OD 6+ at 10,600 nm for CO₂ lasers

• Protection across UV (190–400 nm), near-infrared (1450–1650 nm), and extended thermal infrared wavelengths (>1775 nm–11,000 nm).

L-ratings conform to EN207/208, confirming tested resistance against specific exposure types, including continuous, pulsed, and diffuse beams across the relevant wavelength ranges.

Field of View and Clarity in Surgery

Holmium procedures often require close visual monitoring through scopes and ultrasound systems. The LG-090Z features virtually clear, lightweight lenses, providing high visibility while still maintaining full attenuation. The wide field of view supports precise surgical work without visual restriction or optical distortion.

Designed for Clinical Comfort

Comfort is relevant during longer urological procedures, where eyewear can be worn continuously. Key ergonomic features include:

• Ratchet-adjustable temple angle

• Extendable arms for secure fit

• Anti-fog vented frame design

These elements reduce fatigue and ensure clear vision even in humid or enclosed operating environments.

Standards and Compliance

The LG-090Z meets or exceeds national and international medical laser safety requirements:

• AS/NZS 1337.5

• AS/NZS ISO 19818.1:2023

• AS/NZS IEC 60825.14:2014

• ANSI Z136, FDA, CE Mark, EN207/208
