The Sapphire Fiber Advantage
  • Biocompatiable, nontoxic, USP Class VI approved - passes both implant and elution test protocols
  • High transmission from visible to beyond 3 micron wavelength.
  • High Strength - 400,000 psi/2.8 GPa - use of PTFE buffer further improves durability and handling.
  • High laser damage threshold (1200 J/em2) and high melting point (2053ºC) enable high repetition rates and average power.
