Patent number: 9366577Abstract: A coupling device for an optical waveguide includes an optical waveguide connection for a first optical waveguide. The coupling device includes an optical filter arranged in a beam path between a laser light source and the optical waveguide connection which reflects light of a first wavelength range or a first polarization direction and transmits light of a second wavelength range or a second polarization direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignees: Ingeneric GmbH, Vimecon GmbHInventors: Jan Kallendrusch, Volker Sinhoff, Christian Wessling, Kai Ulf Markus

Patent number: 8790332Abstract: The laser applicator includes a catheter (10) having a proximal section (10a), a midsection (10b) and a distal end section (10c). It contains a light guide, the light of which is output in a decoupling portion (40). The light guide runs in a longitudinal groove on the outside of a catheter body. While the light guide (20) is continuous, the catheter is composed of catheter bodies, which are joined together at a catheter splice site (37).Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2009Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: VIMECON GmbHInventor: Kai Ulf Markus

Patent number: 8672927Abstract: A laser applicator includes an optical fiber with a core surrounded by a cladding. The cladding contains openings (40) for coupling radiative energy outward. To accomplish an even distribution of energy, the size of the opening increases from the proximal end to the distal end. The openings (40) are combined into groups (45), with the number of openings within a group varying. The openings (40) are of a uniform size so that the area of decoupling (13) can be produced in a simple manner.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2009Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: VIMECON GmbHInventor: Kai Ulf Markus

Patent number: 8647335Abstract: A laser applicator has a catheter (12) that contains a optical fiber and a lateral decoupling area at the distal end. The end section of the strand is preformed to a loop (16) the plane of which runs crosswise to the main section (14) of the strand. This makes possible an extensive linear introduction of laser energy into the surrounding tissue. The invention is suited especially for the treatment of arrhythmia.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2007Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Vimecon GmbHInventor: Kai Ulf Markus
