The LG-014 Fitover Laser Safety Glasses are designed for environments where Erbium and CO₂ laser systems are operated. These glasses provide certified protection against wavelengths commonly used in dermatology, dentistry, medical laser surgery, aesthetic treatments and scientific research. Their fitover design allows them to be worn comfortably with or without prescription eyeglasses, supporting diverse operator needs.
Wavelength Protection and Optical Density
These laser safety glasses provide marked wavelength attenuation for a range of infrared and deep-ultraviolet emissions, including:
| Wavelength | Optical Density |
|---|---|
| 2940nm (Er:YAG) | OD 6+ |
| 2780nm | OD 5+ |
| 10,600nm (CO₂) | OD 5+ |
| 190–398nm (UV) | OD 5+ |
The high optical density at 2940nm reflects protection targeted for Er:YAG applications, particularly in ablative and resurfacing procedures. The additional attenuation at 10,600nm supports CO₂ laser hazards commonly found in surgical and industrial cutting systems. UV blocking from 190–398nm provides further protection from incidental and secondary emissions.
CE L-Ratings
The LG-014 lenses are marked with CE impact and endurance ratings (EN207/208), indicating resistance to specified laser exposure conditions:
| Wavelength Range | CE Rating |
|---|---|
| 180–315nm | D L8 |
| 180–390nm | IR L4 |
| >315–390nm | D L4 |
| 2780–2940nm | DI L2 |
| 10,600nm | DI L2 |
These ratings denote testing for both direct beam exposure and risk categories involving continuous and pulsed systems.
Visibility During Procedures
The LG-014 glasses provide a Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of 93%, allowing a high level of brightness when observing tissue interaction, equipment displays or instrumentation. High VLT is useful for precision work because it maintains natural workspace visibility while still blocking hazardous wavelengths.
Fit and Design
The fitover style accommodates operators using prescription eyewear. Adjustable arms and an adjustable head strap assist with secure placement during procedures. The frame is designed for routine clinical use, and includes:
-
Storage case
-
Cleaning cloth
-
Head strap
-
24-month frame warranty
