Abstract
The surgical instrument comprises a handpiece (1), associated with which is a tip (5) forming a wave guide and terminating with an operating end, intended to act on the tissues and from which a laser radiation is emitted and which receives said laser radiation from fiber optic means (4). The tip is implemented to collect the laser emission coming from a plurality of optical fibers couplable with said tip at a coupling face and to convey said laser emissions towards said operating end.
Claims17
A surgical instrument for laser surgery, comprising:
- a handpiece, associated with which is a tip forming a waveguide and terminating with an operating end, designed to act on the tissues and from which a laser radiation is emitted and which receives said laser radiation from a fiber optic device wherein said tip is designed to collect the laser emission coming from a plurality of optical fibers couplable with said tip at a coupling face and to convey said laser emissions towards said operating end.
A surgical device comprising:
- a plurality of laser sources and a surgical instrument comprising a handpiece, associated with which is a tip forming a waveguide and terminating with an operating end, designed to act on the tissues and from which a laser radiation is emitted and which receives said laser radiation from a fiber optic device wherein said tip is designed to collect the laser emission coming from a plurality of optical fibers couplable with said tip at a coupling face and to convey said laser emissions towards said operating end;
- a plurality of optical fibers, associated with said laser sources, connecting said laser sources to the tip of said instrument.
