Paper Abstract
Contact fiberoptic surgery has been an important step in the
evolution of modern day laser surgical procedures. Synthetic
sapphire tips, attached to the end of a surgical fiber, are an accepted
modality. Sapphire tips optically mold the distribution of the lasers
energy exiting the fiber. New developments in quartz fiberoptic tips
have provided surgeons with similar tissue results as sapphire tips,
with greater flexibility, decreased size, and reduced cost.
A pilot study was conducted at the Western Institute for Laser
Treatment utilizing these quartz fibers in research and progressing
into clinical procedures. The development was through a laser
peripheral company; Laserguide Inc.
