  • Laser fiber for endovenous therapy having a shielded distal tip
    Publication number: 20070179486
    Abstract: An endovenous laser fiber optic member for endovenous laser therapy of peripheral veins of the body including a heat resistant insulative tip shield covering the distal end of the laser fiber optic. The tip shield may have echogenic qualities to increase ultrasound reflectivity. The tip shield also improves deflectability of the distal end and acts as a thermal break.
    Type: Application

  • Laser fiber for endovenous therapy having a shielded distal tip
    Publication number: 20050288655
    Abstract: An endovenous laser fiber optic member for endovenous laser therapy of peripheral veins of the body including a flexible heat resistant tip shield covering the distal end of the laser fiber optic. The tip shield has an irregular surface to increase ultrasound reflectivity. The tip shield also improves deflectability of the distal end and acts as a heat sink and heat energy dissipater.
