Introduction
In the field of minimally invasive surgery, laser systems have become a transformative technology—especially in proctology. Clinics and surgical centres that treat anorectal disorders such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures and fistulas increasingly rely on dual‑wavelength diode laser platforms operating at 980 nm and 1470 nm. These systems not only enhance precision and safety but also open new opportunities for outpatient treatment models, faster recovery times and improved patient outcomes.
This blog explores how the 980 nm/1470 nm dual wavelength platforms work, what advantages they deliver in hemorrhoid and fistula treatment, the specific clinical applications, and why proctology laser treatment equipment is increasingly strategic for clinics aiming to elevate their service offering.
The Power of Dual‑Wavelength Technology: 980nm & 1470nm
Modern proctology laser systems combine two key wavelengths—980 nm and 1470 nm—in a single device. Each wavelength has distinct tissue interaction characteristics that, when used in tandem, provide exceptional versatility, efficacy and safety.
980 nm wavelength: This wavelength offers strong absorption by oxy‑hemoglobin, making it ideal for coagulation of feeding vessels in hemorrhoidal tissues. The high hemostatic property ensures intraoperative bleeding is reduced and the surgical field remains clear.
1470 nm wavelength: With superior water absorption, 1470 nm produces deeper, more uniform thermal effects in vascular tissue and water‑rich environments, ensuring effective shrinkage of hemorrhoidal nodules or fistula tracts with minimal impact to surrounding healthy tissue.
By integrating both wavelengths, manufacturers deliver platforms capable of addressing a broad spectrum of anorectal pathologies. The ability to apply one wavelength or switch between both provides the surgical team with flexibility to tailor therapy to individual anatomy and pathology.
Comprehensive Hemorrhoid Treatment Equipment for Modern Clinics
Today’s high‑end hemorrhoid treatment equipment is more than just a laser—it’s a complete system tailored for outpatient surgery. Key features include:
Intuitive touchscreen interface with pre‑programmed modes for hemorrhoids, fistulas, endovenous treatment, etc.
Real‑time power adjustment, duty‑cycle modulation, and safety interlocks for stable, reproducible performance.
Ergonomically designed hand‑pieces and radial emitting fibres that allow precise delivery of laser energy into hard‑to‑access anorectal zones.
Non‑contact or minimally contact approaches reduce mechanical trauma; the bactericidal effect of laser energy lowers infection risk.
Shorter procedure times, minimal discomfort, faster return to daily activity and potential same‑day discharge—strong value propositions for clinics.
From a supplier/manufacturer/factory perspective, such equipment demands robust design, high quality optics, serviceable laser modules and global compliance (CE, ISO, medical device standards). Arfurla’s position as a manufacturer offering OEM/ODM services enables clinics and distributors to partner for advanced proctology lasers tailored to local regulatory and marketing needs.
Fistula Laser Machine: A Minimally Invasive Breakthrough
One of the most significant applications of advanced 980 nm/1470 nm platforms is in the treatment of anal fistulas. The method known as FiLaC (Fistula‑tract Laser Closure) has gained favour as a sphincter‑preserving alternative to conventional fistulotomy. In this treatment:
A radial fibre is inserted into the fistula tract under guidance.
Laser energy is delivered along the tract wall, causing thermal ablation and controlled collapse of the pathway.
The tract seals and fibroses without the need for extensive excision of sphincter muscle, significantly reducing incontinence risk.
By utilising the dual wavelength system, the 1470 nm wavelength can address water‑rich tissue and deeper venous components, while the 980 nm wavelength aids in hemostasis of small feeding vessels. Models of lasers, such as those from Arfurla, support these procedures by delivering fine controllable energy in small fibre diameters (e.g., 400‑600 µm) and having standard interfaces (e.g., SMA905) for surgical optics.
For clinics offering colorectal services, integrating a fistula laser unit expands service range, enhances patient outcomes and elevates clinic positioning—especially in specialised anorectal surgery.
Why Invest in a Proctology Laser?
For healthcare providers and clinic owners, procuring a 980 nm/1470 nm proctology laser system is a strategic decision—not just equipment purchase. Key benefits include:
Reduced hospital stay: Many procedures shift to outpatient, reducing bed occupancy and overall cost.
Lower complication risk: With less invasive techniques, bleeding, infection and pain are minimised.
Higher throughput and patient satisfaction: Shorter procedure and recovery times enable more cases and better patient experience.
Competitive positioning: Clinics offering advanced laser treatments distinguish themselves, attract more referrals and strengthen brand.
Versatility: The same dual‑wavelength platform often supports hemorrhoids, fistulas, pilonidal cysts, EVLT (endovenous laser treatment) and other minimally invasive interventions.
From the manufacturer‑supplier‑factory vantage point, providing such a system involves ensuring robust service, uptime, consumables availability (fibres, handpieces) and training support—elements that Arfurla emphasises in its OEM/ODM model.
In conclusion, whether expanding hemorrhoid treatment services or entering fistula management, clinics equipped with modern dual‑wavelength proctology lasers are well‑positioned for the future of minimally invasive anorectal care.
Clinical Applications at a Glance
| Application | Relevant Wavelength | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Hemorrhoids (LHP, HeLP) | 980 nm + 1470 nm | Coagulation + shrinkage, minimal bleeding |
| Anal Fistula (FiLaC) | 1470 nm (with 980 nm support) | Tract closure, sphincter‑preserving |
| Pilonidal Sinus (SiLaC) | 1470 nm | Minimal wound, quick healing |
| Endovenous Laser (EVLT/EVLA) | 1470 nm | Controlled heating of vein wall |
| Soft‑Tissue Surgery (ENT/Dental) | 980 nm | Precise cutting and coagulation |
The dual‑wavelength approach enables one platform to handle multiple indications, improving ROI for clinics and versatility for device manufacturers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the advantage of using both 980 nm and 1470 nm wavelengths in one laser system?
The 980 nm wavelength excels in vessel haemostasis (oxy‑hemoglobin absorption), while 1470 nm provides superior water absorption for tissue shrinkage and coagulation. Combined, they give high precision and versatility in anorectal surgery.
2. Can the same laser system be used for both hemorrhoids and fistulas?
Yes. Many modern proctology lasers support both indications by simply switching modes or fibre types, enabling clinics to treat hemorrhoids, anal fissure, fistula and related conditions with a single platform—enhancing utility and cost‑effectiveness.
3. What fibre size and interface standards are typical in these systems?
Common fibre diameters include 400 µm or 600 µm. Standard interfaces like SMA 905 are frequently used. Some systems may offer radial fibres, straight fibres and multiple handpiece options.
4. What are key features clinics should look for in a proctology laser system?
Important features include: dual‑wavelength support (980/1470), user‑friendly touchscreen, pre‑programmed modes, safety interlocks, ergonomic handpiece design, robust after‑sales support, OEM/ODM flexibility and global certifications (e.g., CE, ISO). Arfurla emphasises OEM/ODM capability and global service.
5. Why is choosing a manufacturer/supplier/factory important in laser equipment procurement?
Working directly with a manufacturer or factory (rather than purely a distributor) can enhance customisation, shorten supply chain, reduce cost mark‑ups, allow better spare‑part access and improve long‑term service support. Arfurla positions itself as both manufacturer and supplier with OEM/ODM services.
