Description
Iridex IQ 577 Laser System
“True-Yellow 577 nm Laser with MicroPulse Technology”
The IQ 577 is a state-of-the-art, 577 nm true yellow retina laser system, in a solid-state platform. This system also incorporates IRIDEX MicroPulse technology to offer physicians new treatment options for fine control and tissue-sparing procedures, previously available only in 810 nm lasers. The IQ 577 provides precision and outstanding performance while offering an intelligent design in an intuitive, advanced platform.

Why 577?
The IRIDEX IQ 577™ laser system offers a true-yellow, 577 nm, wavelength with peak absorption in oxyhemoglobin and is minimally absorbed by xanthophll, which allows treatment closer to the fovea. It also offers:
- High transmission through dense ocular media1, 2 and less light scattering than shorter wavelengths which minimizes spot size and reduces thermal spread
- Consistent laser lesions for fast procedure time
- Enhanced visibility for reduced intraretinal damage2 enabling early observation of very light tissue reactions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)
- Lower transmission to deeper tissues,2,4 and low power requirements for increased patient comfort
Standard Photocoagulation & MicroPulse Therapy in One Laser -MicroPulse Applications:
- Fovea-Friendly MicroPulse Laser Therapy for retinal disorders
- Repeatable MicroPulse Laser Trabeculoplasty
What is MicroPulse Technology?
CW-Pulse™ (Continuous-Wave) Mode: CW lasers deliver a steady stream of laser energy, even with the shortest exposure duration. This results in a significant thermal rise and consequent coagulation used clinically for many applications.
MicroPulse Mode: MicroPulse technology finely controls thermal elevation by “chopping” a continuous-wave (CW) beam into an envelope of repetitive short pulses allowing tissue to cool between pulses and reduce thermal buildup.
The TxCell Offers:
- Multi-spot pattern scanning for efficient retinal photocoagulation
- Standard coagulation with optimized wavelengths: IQ 532™ or true-yellow IQ 577™ lasers
- Confluent laser patterns for tissue-sparing1 MicroPulse™ protocols*
