  • SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS FOR LASER LITHOTRIPSY
    Publication number: 20190350654
    Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, a laser fiber may include an optical fiber. The optical fiber may include a proximal portion. The optical fiber also may include a distal portion having a distal end. The optical fiber may be configured to transmit laser energy from the proximal portion to the distal portion for emission of the laser energy from the distal end. The optical fiber also may include a distal tip surrounding the distal portion to protect the distal portion. The distal tip may include a sheet glass material having a laser energy emitting surface. The laser energy emitting surface may be defined by a chemically-strengthened surface layer.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 31, 2019
    Publication date: November 21, 2019
    Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.
    Inventors: Honggang YU, Rongwei Jason XUAN, Jian ZHANG, Charles Alexander Ikan BURDAN
