Unique 9.3 µm CO2 Laser
Solea, the first 9.3 µm laser cleared by the FDA and the first CO2 laser cleared for hard and soft tissue, is also the first to integrate computer controls for the highest quality preparations in the least amount of time. Solea’s computer drives laser dentistry’s first variable speed foot pedal which enables feathering into and out of precision cuts. Touch the screen to select the desired tissue and the computer manipulates Solea’s beam up to 10,000 times per second in patterns optimized for your selection. Solea’s computer controls make transitioning from the drill easy. It is vibration-free, virtually noiseless and nearly painless, creating an entirely new experience. Solea obviates the need for drills and scalpels in the majority of procedures, the first step to creating a dread-free practice.
Laser classification: Class 4 (IV) Laser Product Medium: CO2 Carbon Dioxide Wavelength: 9.3 μm Aiming Beam: 520 nm – 535 nm diode, <5 mW Maximum Power (see Table 4-1): Power does not exceed 30 W Footprint: 10.25 x 19 in (26 x 48 cm) Weight: 193 lbs (88 kg) Operating Voltage: 110 VAC ± 10% – 230 VAC ± 10% External air source (optional): 60 – 100 psi (4.1 – 6.9 bar)
The Solea Laser takes the drill, needle, noise and pain out of dental visits.
The Solea experience is:
• Virtually free of the needle and the sound of the drill
• Quick, easy, and done in a single visit
• Able to get you back to your day in minutes
Solea earned its reputation for enabling dramatic practice growth and reduced stress for dentists and patients by taking anesthesia, bleeding, sutures, and discomfort out of the dental experience. Before the launch of this new platform, Solea dentists reported doing 4 – 6 more procedures per day while feeling like they were doing less work. With this new generation, Solea dentists will benefit from even more growth while enjoying an even more relaxing work day. Better still, it all comes in a smaller package that is even easier to use.
Unprecedented Clinical Performance – Statistics collected from over 1,000 procedures in early use of the new Solea platform include:
Improved anesthesia-free performance – nearly 100% of cavity preps were completed without anesthesia and without discomfort.
Faster hard tissue cutting by 31% compared to the previous platform.
10% smoother surface finishes providing better margins and reduced prep time.
Faster soft tissue cutting with minimal to no bleeding.
Smaller Footprint – Solea is 15% slimmer, making it easier to move around the office and operatory.
Enhanced Software – User-customizable options, user-specific profiles and faster start-up.
Enhanced Ergonomics – A lighter, more maneuverable handpiece with improved rotation and a wider range of motion.
Improved Remote Access – A 4G LTE mobile data connection has been added along with the existing Wi-Fi capability, improving Solea’s accessibility for software updates and remote service and support.
