Medical Laser Fibers and Minimally Invasive Delivery
The efficacy of a medical laser often depends on the quality of the delivery system. Italy’s medical laser fiber industry has focused on developing thinner, more flexible fibers that can navigate the body’s complex internal pathways.
In 2026, these fibers are essential for Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) of varicose veins and intra-arterial plaque removal. These specialized fibers are often coated with advanced polymers to improve durability and bio-compatibility. Some "smart fibers" now include integrated sensors that provide real-time feedback to the surgeon regarding tissue temperature, preventing accidental perforation of vessels or collateral thermal injury to adjacent nerves.
