<p>Disposable tips for laser emission systems for surgical and other therapeutic uses are herein disclosed. The tips are disposable so as to minimize material loss while also providing sterility. The tips have bodies (701) with cannular tip ends (702) which may be bent to any angle. A laser transmitting fiber (708) occupies a channel (703) within the tip (702) and is permanently affixed therein and one end is encased in a ferrule to provide connection structure. A lens structure, including a lens (705), spacer (704), and containment housing (706) joining the lens (705) to the ferrule (707), may also be utilized to focus laser light as it passes from a waveguide into the tip. The tip fiber may be constructed to emit light in any pattern, for example, in all directions and concentrated at the end, through known manipulation of the fiber end.</p> |
