MOSES™ Laser Technology in Traverse City

​

Copper Ridge Surgery Center, Michigan’s state-of-the-art freestanding ambulatory surgery center (ASC), is the first facility of its kind in Northern Michigan to offer same-day treatment for kidney stones and benign enlarged prostate using the MOSES™ Pulse 120H by Lumenis. This advanced system represents a significant step forward in minimally invasive laser technology, allowing physicians to treat certain urologic conditions with greater precision and efficiency.

​

The addition of this gold-standard technology played an important role in the development of Copper Ridge’s dedicated urology program, designed to serve as a regional hub for specialized care across Northern Michigan. In recruiting leading urologists to the program, the center found strong demand for MOSES™ technology, with many physicians citing its versatility, speed, accuracy, and efficiency for procedures such as kidney stone lithotripsy and MOSES Vaporization with Xpeeda for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

​

Today, Copper Ridge Surgery Center offers advanced surgical technology including the MOSES™ Laser, which enhances the delivery of laser energy during urologic procedures. This innovative system allows physicians to break down kidney stones more efficiently and perform certain prostate treatments with improved control.

​

By incorporating advanced technology like the MOSES™ Laser, Copper Ridge Surgery Center continues to expand access to modern, minimally invasive treatment options for patients throughout Traverse City and Northern Michigan.

​

What Is MOSES™ Laser Technology?

The MOSES™ Laser is an advanced form of holmium laser technology used primarily in urology procedures, particularly for the treatment of kidney stones.

​

This system improves the way laser energy travels through fluid during surgery, allowing physicians to break apart kidney stones more efficiently while maintaining precise control of the procedure.

​

The technology is designed to enhance surgical performance while helping support positive patient outcomes.

​

Conditions Treated with MOSES™ Laser Technology

Urologists may use MOSES™ Laser technology to treat conditions such as:

• Kidney stones

• Urinary tract stones

• Obstructions caused by stones

• Certain prostate conditions

• Other urologic conditions requiring laser treatment

 

By using laser energy to fragment stones, physicians can often treat these conditions using minimally invasive techniques.

​

How MOSES™ Laser Improves Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stones are a common and often painful condition affecting many patients. Laser lithotripsy procedures using the MOSES™ Laser allow physicians to break kidney stones into smaller fragments that can be safely removed or passed naturally.

Benefits of MOSES™ Laser technology may include:

• More efficient stone fragmentation

• Improved surgical precision

• Reduced procedure time

• Enhanced energy delivery during treatment

• Advanced minimally invasive treatment options

 

This technology allows surgeons to treat kidney stones using modern techniques designed to improve efficiency and patient comfort.

​

Minimally Invasive Urology Procedures

Many procedures using MOSES™ Laser technology are performed using minimally invasive techniques, which may involve small instruments passed through the urinary tract rather than large surgical incisions.

Benefits of minimally invasive urology procedures may include:

• Smaller or no external incisions

• Shorter recovery times

• Reduced discomfort after surgery

• Same-day outpatient treatment in many cases

 

These advancements allow patients to receive effective treatment while recovering comfortably at home.
