Cooling delivery guide attachment for a laser scanner apparatus

A delivery guide attachment for a laser scanner mechanism for a laser treatment operation, to permit proper spacing and dimensional stability of said laser scanner with respect to the skin of a patient being treated comprising:

• a housing having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end being applyable to the skin of a patient, said upper end being attached to said laser scanner;
• a chilled fluid supply conduit arranged in communication with said housing for delivering chilled fluid onto the skin of a patient when said housing is applied thereto;
• a chilled fluid containment arrangement in said housing to retain and delay escape of chilled fluid on said patient for a short period during said laser treatment operation;
• wherein paid housing is of generally rectilinear configuration, having a rearward frame wall, a forward wall and at least one side wall, said at least one side wall has a portal opening therein for discharge of debris and chilled fluid therefrom, wherein said chilled fluid containment arrangement comprises a skirt disposed at a lower portion of said portal;
• and wherein said rear frame wall has an opening therein for receipt of said chilled fluid from said chilled fluid supply conduit wherein said forward wall has a portal opening therein;
• said portal in said side wall having a higher upper end than said portal in said forward wall to create directionality of any discharge of debris from said housing.
