Medical laser foot pedals improve safety, precision, and control in laser-based clinical treatments. These systems are essential for procedures such as laser epilation, tattoo removal, skin resurfacing, vascular treatments, and various surgical applications. By integrating pneumatic foot pedals with air switches, clinicians can achieve hands-free laser activation that enhances workflow and eliminates electrical hazards.

Why Choose Foot Pedals for Laser Equipment?
Clinicians rely on laser equipment for pinpoint accuracy and real-time responsiveness. During treatment, they must maintain steady hand positioning while activating the laser. Medical laser foot pedals enable seamless, hands-free control, allowing the operator to focus entirely on the target area. This setup not only improves safety but also ensures consistency in treatment delivery.
How Pneumatic Pedals and Air Switches Work
Pneumatic foot pedals isolate electrical actuation by sending an air pulse from the pedal to a remote air switch. The switch then opens or closes electrical contacts, enabling a shockproof, explosion-proof, and waterproof control method.
Presair Tinytrol® air switches are UL/cUL recognized and available in SPST, SPDT, and DPDT configurations. With support up to 25 Amps at 250 VAC, they suit momentary or alternate actuation needs. These switches can be panel-mounted, enclosed, or in-line and support tubing runs up to 100 feet.

Key Advantages of Pneumatic Medical Laser Foot Pedals
- Electrical Isolation at Activation Point: Reduces risk of electric shock during use
- Flexible Switching Logic: Supports momentary, alternate, and sequential actuation
- Built for Clinical Demands: Withstands heavy daily use and sterilization protocols
Foot Pedal Models for Medical Lasers
Hard-Style Foot Pedals: B621 and B721 Models
Presair’s hard-style foot pedals provide rugged durability and consistent actuation in high-usage environments. The B621 features a tough shell enclosing an internal air bellow, constructed from glass-filled polypropylene. It comes standard with 10 feet of pneumatic tubing and is ideal for high-force use in both industrial and clinical settings.
The B721 offers a clam shell shaped design made from the same durable glass-filled polypropylene. It includes a soft PVC internal air bellow and rubber pads for enhanced grip and safety. Like the B621, it comes with 10 feet of 1/4″ O.D., 1/8″ I.D. air tubing and is available in black. The B721 is a preferred option for applications where stability, comfort, and protection from accidental actuation are priorities.
B350 and F800 Soft-Style Foot Pedals
Presair’s soft foot pedal options, including the B350 and F800, are constructed from flexible PVC and designed for ergonomic foot or hand operation. Both models feature internal air bellows that send a precise pulse of air through tubing to the air switch. The B350 offers a low-profile design ideal for compact workspaces, while the F800 is better suited for extended clinical procedures requiring minimal operator fatigue. Both are compatible with the SG-OA foot pedal guard for added safety.
E721 Electric Foot Pedal
For systems that do not require pneumatic isolation, the E721 provides direct electrical control with up to 25 Amps at 120VAC. Available in both clam shell and rectangular shapes, it includes a built-in micro switch for seamless integration into electronic control circuits.
Foot Pedal Guards for Enhanced Safety
The SG-OA foot pedal guard adds an essential layer of protection by preventing accidental actuation in fast-paced environments. Constructed from 12-gauge steel and finished in orange powder coat, it includes pre-drilled mounting holes and non-slip feet. Compatible with both the B621 and F800 foot pedals, the guard ensures safe, stable use in demanding clinical settings.
Compatible Laser Platforms
Presair foot pedals and air switches integrate with a wide variety of clinical laser systems:
- CO2 Lasers
- Diode Lasers
- Nd:YAG Lasers
- Alexandrite Lasers
- Er:YAG Lasers
- Aesthetic and Surgical Laser Platforms
Many of these laser systems support either pneumatic or electric actuation, depending on application requirements. Pneumatic solutions offer added protection in environments where isolation, moisture resistance, and durability are top priorities.
