Features

Reliable

The failsafe system verifies the positioning of the laser modules by two technically independent procedures before the lasers are switched on. 

Fits your workflow

Depending on your workflow you can choose between a movable sagittal or a movable sagittal and coronal plane to position and mark the patient. 

Practical adjustable

Fine adjustment of the laser lines (parallel shift, tilt, rotation and focus) can be done manually with an Allen key.

Flexibly configurable

In line with your room design the laser system can be configured with a wall installation, free-standing column or bridge design. 

Comfortably laser steering

You can control the mobile lasers either directly on the patient via a tablet PC or via a desktop PC in the control room. 

Consistently precise

The positioning accuracy of ± 0.1 mm and the projection precision of ± 0.5 mm at a distance of 4 m is measured for every rail during production. The measurement data are delivered with the system. 

Configurations

DORADO 1 Laser System for Patient Marking

DORADO 1

For precise patient alignment and easy marking, you can move the sagittal laser plane. The transversal and coronal plane are projected via fixed laser lines.

DORADO 3 Laser System for Patient Marking

DORADO 3

The movable sagittal and coronal plane allow our laser system to offer increased flexibility for patient marking and virtual simulation. The transversal plane is projected via fixed lasers.

Q&A

How long is the laser line?

The length of the laser line is equal to the distance between laser source and patient. Therefore, for example, the laser line is only one meter long at a distance of one meter, but 4 meters long at a distance of 4 meters. 

How can LAP ensure projection precision?

The projection precision is influenced by the straightness of the rail and the temperature. During production, the projection accuracy of each rail is checked twice and documented in the Delivery Report. If it is not within the tolerance, the rail is not used. Only laser devices that pass these stringent checks will be used.

Do I get a quality report?

Yes, during production a Delivery Report with all the quality parameters is created for each laser system, which is handed over to our customers after installation.
