  • Patent number: 10709504
    Abstract: A curved laser probe with single-use optic fiber may include a reusable handle, an optic fiber fixture, and a single-use optic fiber. The single-use optic fiber may include an optic fiber having an optic fiber distal end and an optic fiber proximal end. The optic fiber may be disposed in a first transitory connector having a first transitory connector distal end and a first transitory connector proximal end wherein the optic fiber distal end extends a fixed distance from the transitory connector distal end. The optic fiber may be disposed in a second transitory connector having a second transitory connector distal end and a second transitory connector proximal end wherein the optic fiber proximal end extends a fixed distance from the second transitory connector distal end. The first transitory connector may be inserted in the reusable handle and the second transitory connector may be inserted in the optic fiber fixture.

  • Patent number: 10646113
    Abstract: An illuminated cannula may include an illumination tube, a hub, a cannula base, a valve, an illumination source connector, an optic fiber, and an optic fiber guide. The valve may be disposed in the cannula base. The cannula base may be fixed to the hub. The hub may include a hub aperture. The illumination tube may be disposed in the cannula base. The optic fiber guide may be disposed in the hub. The optic fiber may be disposed in the illumination source connector, the hub, the optic fiber guide, and the cannula base. The optic fiber may be optically coupled to the illumination tube. Illumination light from an illumination source may be configured to transmit through the optic fiber and into the illumination tube.

  • Publication number: 20180021088
    Abstract: A single-use illuminated laser probe may include an optic fiber, an illumination optic fiber, a handle, a hypodermic tube, a transitory connector, and an illumination optic fiber housing. The optic fiber may be disposed in the hypodermic tube, the handle, and the transitory connector. The illumination optic fiber may be disposed in the hypodermic tube, the handle, and the illumination optic fiber housing. A user may insert the transitory connector in an optic fiber fixture to transmit laser light through the optic fiber. A user may insert the illumination optic fiber housing in an illumination optic fiber fixtures to transmit illumination light through the illumination optic fiber.
