- Description
- The Department Of Veterans Affairs, VISN 15 Contracting Office intends to release a commercial solicitation for a CO2 Surgical Laser. The laser must be able to ablate, incise and treat desired tissue structure and be compatible with ENT surgeries. The laser must provide precise energy to the desired treatment area. Magnification is required to treat very small areas. It is requested that the laser have 3 modes: continuous, wave, and ultrapulse. The ultrapulse is very important because it allows physicians to achieve desired tissue effect without thermal spread of energy and char. This is critical when working with sensitive tissue like the larynx and vocal cords. Continuous wave technology can not deliver very high energy for a sustained period. As a result, thermal spread and charring are prevalent. Furthermore, the lower power makes it difficult to ablate tissue. Additional desired features include: 1. Automatic pre-set starting parameters, by specialty and application 2. Programmable interface allowing staff to save individual MD's preferred settings. 3. High pulse energy and average power. All contract details will be included in the Request For Quote, which will be released on or about April 1, 2009. Any contractor who wishes to receive a copy of the RFQ may submit a request in writing. A fax or e-mail response will be accepted. Fax number is 913-758-6495. The Contracting Office address is: VA Heartland Network 15, Network Business Office, Contracting Section (10N15-90), 4101 S. 4th Street Trafficway, Leavenworth, KS. 66048-5055. E-mail address is donald.denno@va.gov. Point of contact is Mr. Donald Denno, 913-758-6408.
