Sciton Launches TempAssure For Superior Safety and Efficacy

Acclaimed aesthetic laser company introduces a more effective and safer temperature sensory accessory

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) June 4, 2009 -- Sciton, a leading manufacturer of high-quality laser and light systems in the aesthetic medical market, introduces TempAssure, a cutting edge temperature monitoring device to provide added safety for high power laser-assisted lipolysis with ProLipo PLUS.

"We are thrilled to introduce TempAssure as a complement to our ProLipo PLUS system for laser-assisted lipolysis (LAL)," said Robert Ruck, Vice President of World Wide Marketing at Sciton. "The device helps physicians monitor temperature changes in a treated area during LAL procedures, ensuring a safer treatment and better results."
    
With 40 watts of power at 1064 nm, 40 watts at 1319 nm, and 40 watts from its diode laser*, ProLipo PLUS is by far the most powerful and versatile laser-assisted lipolysis system available. TempAssure now allows this high power laser-assisted lipolysis laser energy to be delivered safely and effectively by measuring tissue temperature precisely and in real-time. This innovative technology gives physicians a new level of efficacy by directly monitoring thermal changes in the adipose tissue in order to identify that the optimal endpoint has been achieved.
    
"TempAssure is state of the art in temperature monitoring for higher power laser lipolysis procedures," says Marc Salzman, MD, FACS, University of Louisville Division of Plastic Surgery. "It facilitates direct measurement of internal temperatures in all phases of the laser application which gives an increase in both safety and efficacy."
    
The temperature sensing accessory, TempAssure, allows physicians to have the control and choice to proceed confidently knowing the patient's safety is being protected, because the device accurately reads the temperature within one degree. The versatility of TempAssure's LCD color touch screen allows simplified decision making with a clear numeric and graphical display of temperature readings. The device offers the option to select the type of audio feedback and to set two levels of signaling - a notification alert, which informs when the optimal temperature has been reached, and a warning alert, which advises when the temperature level is getting too high. The equipment comes with convenient and cost-effective cannulas.
