Frequently Asked Questions
Q Why should I buy the Optica XT over the competition's product?
A The Optica XT uses the latest thulium fiber laser technology to deliver a more efficient laser at a very competitive price. Convergent has been a market leader in stone and soft tissue laser systems since 1995; we have proven our capability to design, manufacture, and support our laser systems.
Q What features set the Optica XT apart from its competition?

A Convergent provides in-service training with each new Optica XT laser system purchase. The in-service training is designed to provide adequate information to each participant. After completion of the training program, each participant will be familiar with basic troubleshooting procedures and be able to comfortably operate the laser system. Additionally, the Optica XT performs self-diagnostics and will inform the operator when it detects any condition that is out of the ordinary. The Optica XT comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty. Extended warranties are available.
