Equipment Features

Consultants used Zolar Photon for a variety of soft tissue procedures. The pre-set parameters based on clinical procedures makes the unit very easy to set up and operate. Users can quickly change these settings as needed during the procedure. Common adjustments are increasing the wattage or changing between pulse and continuous modes. The on-screen menu is a little complex if saving the edited pre-sets is desired. The rechargeable battery and wireless foot pedal enhance the portability of the unit. The disposable tips avoid the large spool of fiber necessary on some units. The disposable tips included a long length of glass fiber; some consultants trimmed this shorter for improved ergonomics. Overall Zolar Photon performs soft tissue procedures efficiently and effectively.
