The ProTouch is the first 1470nm laser system designed specifically for treating BPH. Its 1470 nm wavelength is highly absorbed by both water and hemoglobin making it ideal for ablating soft tissue. As the laser energy ablates tissue, it simultaneously seals off the blood vessels to minimize bleeding.

In contrast to 532nm KTP lasers, the ProTouch's patented fiber tip protection system allows the surgeon to operate in contact mode, which provides the tactile feel of a scalpel or electrode loop without destroying the fiber.
