Description
Ellex Super Q YAG Laser — Used Nd:YAG Ophthalmic Laser System with Electric Table
The Ellex Super Q YAG laser is a Q-switched Nd:YAG ophthalmic laser system delivering precision photodisruption for posterior capsulotomy, peripheral iridotomy, and anterior vitreolysis in a compact slit lamp–style platform with integrated electric ophthalmic table. This used Ellex Super Q YAG laser provides the complete in-office YAG laser capability needed for posterior capsule opacification treatment and narrow-angle glaucoma management at a price point that makes in-house YAG procedures accessible to practices currently referring these cases and losing the associated procedure revenue.
The Ellex Super Q YAG laser delivers Q-switched Nd:YAG pulses at 1064 nm with adjustable burst modes and a multi-spot aiming beam system for precise focal targeting before each pulse — enabling the consistent photodisruption needed for clean posterior capsulotomies and full-thickness peripheral iridotomies with minimal collateral energy delivery to surrounding ocular structures. A population-based national study published in BMC Ophthalmology (National Library of Medicine, 2023) documented the high real-world incidence of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy following cataract surgery — directly confirming the clinical demand for the in-office YAG procedure that the Ellex Super Q YAG laser enables.
What’s Included

Why Practices Choose the Ellex Super Q YAG Laser
- Q-switched Nd:YAG photodisruption — The Super Q delivers Q-switched pulses at 1064 nm with the short pulse durations required for clean photodisruption — producing the plasma ionization that creates posterior capsulotomy openings and full-thickness iridotomy perforations without the thermal damage of continuous-wave laser systems.
- Adjustable pulse energy range — Wide energy range accommodates every YAG indication from low-energy anterior vitreolysis to standard capsulotomy and higher-energy iridotomy in thick, fibrotic iris tissue — adapting to tissue resistance without requiring separate instruments for different YAG procedures.
- Single, double, and burst modes — Multiple burst configurations allow the surgeon to match pulse delivery to tissue density: single-pulse mode for straightforward PCO, double or burst mode for dense fibrotic capsules that resist single-pulse photodisruption.
- Multi-spot aiming beam — Converging aiming beams confirm focal point position before each pulse fires, reducing the risk of misfires and inadvertent IOL pitting during posterior capsulotomy — a critical safety feature in dense PCO cases where the IOL surface is close to the target capsule.
- Electric table for patient positioning — The motorized table enables rapid height and tilt adjustment to accommodate patients of all sizes, reducing per-patient setup time during high-volume YAG procedure sessions and improving ergonomics for extended laser days.
- Proven Ellex platform reliability — Ellex Medical Lasers has been manufacturing ophthalmic laser systems since 1985; the Super Q platform’s robust mechanical construction and straightforward service access make it a cost-effective long-term instrument for practices adding their first in-office YAG capability.
- Complete turnkey YAG workstation — With the electric table included, the Ellex Super Q YAG laser arrives as a complete procedure station requiring only a standard electrical outlet and treatment contact lens — no additional capital purchases to start performing in-office YAG procedures.
Clinical Applications
- Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) treatment — Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy is the definitive treatment for PCO after cataract surgery and is one of the most commonly performed in-office ophthalmic laser procedures; the Super Q delivers consistent photodisruption for clear central optical zone creation while protecting the posterior IOL surface.
- Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) — YAG iridotomy creates a full-thickness iris perforation that equalizes pressure between the posterior and anterior chambers in narrow-angle and primary angle-closure glaucoma suspects, preventing acute angle closure attacks without surgery.
- Anterior vitreolysis — Low-energy YAG pulses disrupt anterior vitreous strands and floaters in post-vitrectomy anterior segment complications and selected vitreous prolapse cases, restoring anterior chamber clarity without additional surgical intervention.
- Suture lysis post-trabeculectomy — Laser suture lysis through a Hoskins or Zeiss goniolens after trabeculectomy adjusts bleb outflow by releasing adjustable sutures, enabling IOP titration in the post-operative period without returning to the operating room.
- Capsular phimosis treatment — YAG relaxing incisions in a constricted anterior capsular opening treat capsular contraction syndrome, restoring the clear optical zone and reducing IOL tilt-induced aberrations without surgical intervention.
- Secondary membrane ablation — YAG energy ablates secondary membranes in the anterior chamber following anterior segment surgery, restoring optical clarity in complicated post-operative anterior segments.
Who This Is For
- Comprehensive ophthalmology practices entering YAG procedures — the used Ellex Super Q YAG laser at $9,900 provides the complete in-office YAG capability to bring PCO treatment and iridotomy in-house, capturing the procedure revenue currently flowing to referral centers.
- Glaucoma practices performing preventive LPI in narrow-angle patients — the Super Q handles iridotomy in phakic and pseudophakic narrow-angle eyes, enabling the preventive intervention that reduces acute angle closure risk in at-risk patients.
- High-volume cataract referral practices managing post-operative PCO — a dedicated YAG laser station with electric table supports efficient PCO treatment days where multiple patients are scheduled for the same procedure without requiring exam room conversion.
- Practices replacing aging YAG systems — the Ellex Super Q provides a reliable replacement for first-generation YAG lasers at a price point that preserves capital for other instrument investments while maintaining in-house YAG procedure capability.
- Cost-conscious practices adding their first YAG laser — at $9,900 with electric table included, the used Ellex Super Q YAG laser provides the lowest-cost entry point for in-office YAG procedures from a reputable manufacturer with a proven platform.
