Iran Unveils First Home-Made Triple Wavelength Dental Laser Device
Saeedreza Shahmoradi, the director general of the Department of Medical Equipment of Iran's Food and Drug Administration, unveiled NITA, the triple wavelength laser device, made by an Iranian company.
“All the products made by this company have the European CE standard and its quality can compete with similar foreign samples,” Shaاmoradi said.
He added that the laser device has been designed in two double wavelength and triple wavelength models, noting that its main application is used in oral and dental surgeries, gum diseases, tooth roots, dental prosthesis and dental implants, and even teeth whitening.
"The triple wavelength dental laser model was produced for the first time in Iran by the Iranian experts and is now in the standard and clinical tests stage," Shahmoradi said.
In a relevant development in March, researchers of a knowledge-based company in Iran had also succeeded in producing a diode laser hair removal device with four wavelengths and high clinical quality through conducting reverse engineering on foreign samples.
“Our company produces medical equipment, skin lasers, and laser hair removal machine and has been able to indigenize different equipment by conducting reverse engineering on foreign samples with the same quality,” Mehdi Koneshlou, the technical supervisor of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“The device produced by our company is a type of diode lasers suitable for the skin of Iranians. These diodes include diode, alexandrite and ND-YAG; ND-YAG has a wavelength of 1064 nm and our company is the first Iranian firm which has been able to market laser diode devices with four wavelengths and high clinical quality at one tenth of the price of similar foreign models,” he added.
Koneshlou explained that the diode laser hair removal device works in direct contact with the skin and a special gel should be used while the non-contact laser works in the form of shots, adding, “We have also put production of non-contact laser removal machine on our agenda. We have imported a type of laser gel for the first time to Iran that no longer has the sticking problem of ultrasound gels.”
