The Ho:YAG delivers energy via fiber optics at a 2100nm wavelength with precision output from 1 to 20 watts, positioned for surgery and microsurgery rather than general soft-tissue incision work. Unlike the CO2 lasers' broad small animal surgical use or the Diode's equine focus, the Ho:YAG is built around specialty procedures in neurology, orthopedics, urology, and oncology.

It's designed as a tool for neurology, orthopedics, urology, and oncology, supported by a wide range of fiber sizes, 200, 365, 550, 600, and 1000 micron fibers, that allow the same system to be adapted across these different procedure types rather than requiring separate equipment per specialty.

It uses an integrated air/water cooling system, which supports uninterrupted operation during longer or more complex microsurgical procedures where the laser is in use for extended periods.

No. At 198.4 lbs, it's significantly heavier than the 30 lb Diode Surgical Laser, making it better suited to a fixed surgical suite setup rather than the ambulatory, transport-focused use case the Diode laser is built for.
