Use higher pulse energy to create larger ablation volumes than lower pulse energy.
NOTE:
Higher pulse energy will also increase bleeding.
The information in the following sections provides further indications, contraindications,
warnings, and precautions for the Rhapsody H-30 Holmium Laser System for specific specialties as
appropriate.
Laser Parameters
