IQ is THE leader in laser fiber optics devices for endourology; we have been for 20+ years. Our new technologies will cement our position by adding laser generators (Phoenix BPH laser -- one issued patent, one pending), endovascular surgery (Halo ELA fibers -- patents pending) & diagnostics (or optical biopsy -- patents in draft.) 

○	IQ produced the first tapered input, hermetically fused laser connector for surgical fiber optics in 1992 & named it BlackHole™ (AMS trademark) demonstrating 5KW CW Nd:YAG transmission in 0.6 mm core fiber

○	IQ was sole supplier of protective capsules for Laserscope's GreenLight fiber 

○	IQ produced the first shaped-output lithotripsy fiber (laser URS) in 1997, (now sold by Boston Scientific under the trademarks of Flexiva™ TracTip & AccuTrac™)

○	IQ produced the first true 200 micron core laser URS fiber in 1996 & made it reusable in 2000: SureFlex™ (AMS trademark)

○	IQ was first to demonstrate laser polished bare fiber tips (first for Los Alamos for 0.5J pulses @ 20ns  in 0.2 mm core, then in 2004 as AccuFlex™ laser URS for Boston Scientific, their trademark)

○	IQ produced the first water-cooled side fire fiber for laser BPH surgery (sold as MoXy™ at AMS)

○	IQ produced the first 150 micron laser URS fiber in 2005 and it won the Medical Device Design Excellence Award in 2006

Our new ProFlex™ LLF  represent the next stage for safety & efficacy for laser URS fibers on most holmiums & ProFlex™ LDD is nearing market release with staggeringly high performance for a side firing BPH fiber -- 200+W Ho, TM or diode for 300+ KJ. Subsequent models will offer more disruptive performance, value and ergonomics.

ProGuard™ LLF, our new sapphire tipped & burn back resisting laser URS fibers, is to be released next year and our purple Phoenix™ BPH laser is projected for 2017.
