The Astra-35 is a high-performance 35W Holmium YAG laser lithotripsy system engineered for clinical precision and durability. As a specialised laser lithotripsy machine, it utilises a 2.1micrometre wavelength—the gold standard in urology—to fragment kidney, bladder, and ureteral stones effectively with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues.
Effective Stone Fragmentation
Rapidly breaks down stones of various compositions (Kidney, Ureteral, and Bladder).
Minimally Invasive Treatment
Reduces recovery time and physical trauma for patients compared to traditional surgical methods.
Reduced Tissue Damage
The specific pulse duration (300–600 microseconds) ensures energy is concentrated on the stone, protecting delicate urethral linings.
Versatile Fibre Compatibility
Supports multiple fibre diameters (200, 273, 365, and 550 µm) for different clinical access needs.
Each Astra 35 system reflects our commitment to engineering excellence, delivering precise stone fragmentation, robust performance, and dependable results for modern urological procedures.

1. What is the Astra-35 Holmium YAG Laser Lithotripsy System used for?
The Astra-35 Holmium YAG Laser Lithotripsy System is designed for advanced urological procedures, primarily for the fragmentation of urinary tract stones. It is commonly used to treat kidney stones, ureteral stones, and bladder stones with high precision. By delivering controlled laser energy directly to the stone, the system enables effective disintegration while minimising trauma to surrounding tissue.
2. Which laser technology does the Astra-35 operate on, and why is it effective?
Astra-35 operates on Holmium YAG laser technology with a wavelength of 2.1 microns, which is widely regarded as the gold standard in laser lithotripsy. This wavelength is highly absorbed by water, allowing precise energy delivery at the stone surface with limited penetration depth. As a result, it provides excellent stone fragmentation efficiency while maintaining a high level of safety for soft tissues during urological interventions.
3. What clinical applications can be performed using Astra-35?
The Astra-35 is suitable for a wide range of urological applications, including intracorporeal lithotripsy during ureteroscopy, flexible ureteroscopy, and cystoscopy. Its versatility makes it an ideal solution for hospitals and urology centres managing diverse stone compositions.
4. How user-friendly is the Astra-35 for clinicians and operating staff?
Astra-35 is designed with a clear, intuitive touch screen interface that allows quick parameter adjustments during procedures. The user-friendly control layout reduces the learning curve for surgeons and operating room staff, enabling efficient workflow and minimising procedural delays. The system is engineered for reliability and ease of operation in busy clinical environments.
5. Does the Astra-35 support continuous operation during long procedures?
Yes, the Astra-35 is equipped with an integrated cooling system that efficiently manages heat during extended use. This ensures stable laser output and protects internal components during long surgical sessions. The robust cooling design allows clinicians to perform lengthy procedures without interruptions due to overheating.
6. What safety standards and regulatory approvals does Astra-35 meet?
The Astra-35 complies with essential medical electrical and laser safety standards, including IEC norms for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and laser performance. It is manufactured in accordance with regulatory requirements and holds CDSCO approval, ensuring it meets safety and quality expectations for clinical use.
