According to the company, the Waterlase MD Turbo offers significant upgrades, including a new handpiece with newly released software that recently received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. Other benefits include longer tip life, greater system reliability, especially for the laser delivery system; and an improved user interface compared to the current Waterlase MD, that simplifies selection of tips and settings.
The Waterlase MD Turbo will be shipped to new customers beginning in March 2009. The company plans to make available upgrade kits for the existing customer installed base later in 2009.
Jake Philip, CEO of Biolase Technology, said: “This is a significant breakthrough for Biolase in improving the speed of the flagship Waterlase MD. A long-standing objection to laser adoption has been the speed of cutting as compared to the drill, but we will now rival that cutting speed for many routine procedures.
“We believe the addition of the Waterlase MD Turbo will accelerate the worldwide adoption of dental lasers as a standard and increase sales of our laser systems.”
