The present invention relates to a medical instrument comprising a free distal end, intended to penetrate tissue, and a proximal end connectable to a light source, the instrument comprising a tubular support in which there is mounted at least one light guide for substantially frontal emission of the light by the guide via the first optical outlet, the instrument being characterized in that it comprises at least one means of optical deviation of the light, forming a second optical outlet, for deviated emission of light, comprising at least one machining operation on a distal portion of the instrument, with at least one reflective and/or concave polishing configured for a convergence of the light and a reflective and/or convex polishing configured for a divergence of the light, the polishing operations being carried out on the light guide and/or on the support.
A medical instrument comprising a free distal end intended to penetrate into a tissue or an organ and/or a blood vessel (V) and a proximal end connectable to a light source, said instrument comprising a tubular support in which is mounted at least one light guide, said support comprising a beveled distal end comprising at least one orifice forming a first optical outlet, for a substantially frontal emission of the light by said guide via said first optical output, said instrument further comprising at least one optical deflection means of the light forming a second optical output, for deflected light emission, comprising at least one machining on a distal portion of the instrument, with at least one reflective and/or concave polish configured for light convergence and one reflective and/or convex polish configured for a divergence of light, said polishing being carried out on said light guide and/or on said support.
