Abstract: An optical fiber cable is disclosed that includes an outer jacket and a plurality of cores including a first core and a second core. A plurality of channels can extend outwardly from the second core toward the outer jacket. The outer jacket can include a material doped with a photoluminescent material configured to absorb energy from light propagating along the second core causing photoluminescence. The optical fiber cable may include cladding surrounding the first and second cores and the plurality of channels. The first core may propagate a first laser beam having wavelength of substantially 1940 nanometers while the second core and the plurality of channels may propagate a second laser beam having a wavelength of within the range of 360-830 nanometers. A system for providing a medical treatment including a first medical instrument optically coupled to the optical fiber cable is also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical device projection system. The medical device projection system includes a first medical device outside of a sterile field, the first medical device having a user control interface including a plurality of parameters. The medical device projection system further includes a projector within the sterile field, the projector in communication with the first medical device and configured to project a mixed reality visual representation of the user control interface on a surface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical system including an equipment module, a limited use device, and a functional interface configured to operatively couple the limited use device with the equipment module via a non-proprietary connector. The equipment module includes an identification interface configured to obtain identification data from the limited use device, and the equipment module is configured to modify operation of the system in accordance with a result of obtaining the identification data. A method of operation includes disabling operating features if the brand of the limited use device is different from the brand of the equipment module. Computer logic and a computerized method include detecting coupling of an equipment module to a console and attempting to obtain identification data of the equipment module. As a result, the console enables either a first set or a second set of operations.

Abstract: Disclosed are laser modules for laser systems and methods thereof that expand options for clinicians when using lasers in medical procedures such as holmium lasers in urological procedures. A laser module includes independently drivable laser-producing assemblies, laser optics, and a driver for driving the laser-producing assemblies. Each laser-producing assembly includes an optical resonator having a gain medium set among resonator optics for directing light through the gain medium for amplification of the light by stimulated emission. The laser optics combines two or more input laser beams produced by the laser-producing assemblies into a combined laser beam having a pulse energy, a pulse width, or a pulse repetition frequency resulting from a combination of the two-or-more input laser beams. The laser optics also directs at least a portion of the combined laser beam through an outlet of the laser module as an output laser beam.
