Abstract: A medical laser system includes a crystal-based laser, an electrosurgery or electrocautery device, a power supply for powering the crystal-based laser and the electrosurgery or electrocautery device, and a controller operably connected to the crystal-based laser, the electrosurgery or electrocautery device, and the power supply. The controller is programmed to: (a) activate the crystal-based laser by controlling power supplied by the power supply to the laser responsive to a laser activation input by a user; and (b) activate the electrosurgery or electrocautery device by controlling power supplied by the power supply to the electrosurgery or electrocautery device responsive to an electrosurgery or electrocautery device activation input by the user.

Abstract: A medical laser system in accordance with one or more further embodiments includes a crystal-based laser, a power supply for powering the crystal-based laser, a controller operably connected to the crystal-based laser and the power supply, and a memory operably connected to the controller. The controller is programmed to: (a) activate the crystal-based laser to cause a laser light emission by controlling power supplied by the power supply to the laser responsive to a user activation input; and (b) record data in the memory identifying a power level, number of pulses, and duration of the laser light emission.

Abstract: A bronchoscope for insertion into a patient's airways for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The bronchoscope includes a bronchoscope head configured to be releasably secured and sealed to one tube of a set of interchangeable bronchial and/or tracheal tubes.

Abstract: A medical laser system includes a crystal-based laser, a power supply for powering the crystal-based laser, a controller operably connected to the crystal-based laser and the power supply, and a liquid cooling system. The liquid cooling system includes a conduit circuit through which a cooling liquid can circulate. The conduit circuit is thermally coupled to the crystal-based laser such that the cooling liquid in the conduit circuit absorbs heat from the crystal-based laser. One or more heat sinks are coupled to the conduit circuit and to the power supply such that the cooling liquid in the conduit circuit absorbs heat from the power supply. A pump is provided for driving the cooling liquid through the conduit circuit. A heat exchanger cools the cooling liquid in the conduit circuit.
