    Abstract: A laser energy delivery device is provided that is suitable for irradiating a body tissue with relatively long wavelength laser energy in the presence of an aqueous liquid without significant absorption of the laser energy by the liquid. The device includes an elongate hollow sheath that is open at its distal end and closed at its proximal end, a laser energy conduit such as an optical fiber or hollow wave guide, within the sheath, the distal end of the conduit being disposed near the open distal end of the sheath, and the proximal end of the conduit being adapted for connection to a source of long wavelength laser energy. The sheath also includes an inlet port, spaced from the proximal end of the sheath, and adapted to receive and deliver a biologically compatible gas through the sheath to a body tissue site in contact with the open distal end of the sheath. In use, the open distal end of the sheath is positioned in contact with a body tissue site. Gas infused through the sheath displaces an aqueous liquid from the region between the distal end of the sheath and the tissue. Laser energy emitted from the distal end of the conduit passes through the substantially liquid-free region at the distal end of the sheath and impinges on the tissue to be irradiated. The laser energy can be used to ablate, vaporize, coagulate or shrink tissue at the target zone without interference from aqueous liquids, which tend to absorb relatively large amounts of long wavelength laser energy and reduce the efficiency of tissue ablation.

    Abstract: The system and method of delivery of laser radiation comprises a flexible hollow waveguide connectable at a first end to a low power laser source, such as a CO.sub.2 laser, a rigid hollow waveguide having a proximal end and a distal end, a coupler for coupling the second end of the flexible hollow waveguide to the proximal end of the rigid hollow waveguide and a diamond tip partially disposed within and extending from the distal end of the rigid waveguide. The diamond tip has an entrance face for receiving laser radiation and at least one exit face for transmitting laser radiation toward an area of biological tissue. The exit end of the diamond tip may be flat, parallel to the entrance face, curved, to act as a lens providing a focusing function, or beveled, to create one or more blade edges to limit the point(s) of exit of the laser radiation and to provide a cutting edge which may be used in combination with the radiation to simultaneously create and photocoagulate the tissue at an incision.
