Laser handpiece, exchangeable fiber-optic insert and control unit therefor

摘要

The invention relates to a laser handpiece 1, an exchangeable fiber-optic insert 10, and a control unit 70 therefor. The laser handpiece 1 comprises a optical waveguide 35, which is connected to a light coupling site in a base member 21 and in which the application element 10 for laser light is exchangeably attached to the base member 21. The base member 21 is mounted in a sleeve-type grip 3 for axial displacement therein. The light guide 10 can be wound around a control device 70 which has an annular gap 73 for this purpose and a lower housing part 75 which is offset from an upper housing part 74. An exchangeable fiber-optic insert 10, 27 acting as an application element is provided with a sleeve 80 serving as protection during transportation and as an assembling tool.

主权项

1. A control device for a laser handpiece, comprising:
an optical waveguide; a housing including a peripherally extending annular gap that divides the housing into at least a lower housing portion and an upper housing portion, wherein the lower housing portion is connected to the upper housing portion, wherein the optical waveguide is disposed in the annular gap between at least part of the lower housing portion and at least part of the upper housing portion and emerges from an interior of the housing, wherein the waveguide can be wound up in the annular gap, and wherein the optical waveguide leaves the interior of the housing and is guided to a base of the annular gap without buckling.
