A reusable connector adapter for coupling any fiber optic transmittable laser source to a fiber optic laser delivery device, the laser source having a laser energy output port. The adapter allows the use of a variety of different laser sources with a variety of different fiber optic laser delivery devices. The adapter maintains the fiber optic laser delivery device adjacent to the laser energy output port such that the laser energy to be transmitted is communicated efficiently to the fiber optic laser delivery device. The adapter further comprises a laser interlock deactivation means such that if a laser source has a mechanical, electrical or optical interlock system, the adapter will function to deactivate the interlock system. Furthermore, the adapter also comprises a plurality of optical barriers to prevent the unintended transmission of laser energy when, for example, the fiber optic laser delivery device has not been installed or has not been installed properly.
A reusable connector adapter for coupling any fiber optic transmittable laser source to a fiber optic laser delivery device, the laser source having an output port for transmitting laser energy, the fiber optic laser delivery device having a laser receiving end with a fiber connector at the laser receiving end, the fiber optic laser delivery device further having a fiber optic waveguide, the reusable connector adapter comprising:
