    Abstract: An adapter for endoscopic treatments has a fiber constraint device that is set at a desired maximum fiber retraction distance, and provides a physical barrier to prevent excessive fiber retraction into the endoscope. The restricted retraction prevents the fiber from firing within the endoscope, thus avoiding expensive damage to both the endoscope and fiber. This benefits the patient with potentially shorter treatment time and less exposure to anesthesia. The adapter also limits maximum extension of fibers. Limiting maximum extension protects the fiber tip and avoids patient complications. The adapter is securely attached to the optical fiber with a connecting means. When using directionally radiating fiber tips, fiber orientation can be defined and the fiber can be rotated relative to the initial angular position of the fiber tip.

    Abstract: An improved device and method for safer and more efficient laser vein treatments are presented. The device includes an optical waveguide optically coupled to a radiation source at its proximal end, having a core, a cladding layer and a tip configured to protect the clad-core, e.g., from contact with collapsing vein walls during laser vein treatment, and to enhance treatment efficiency through improved centering. According to one embodiment, the clad-core is recessed within one or more jacket layers. In some embodiments, the protective jacket on the clad-core may be left on when the jacket layer is added. In embodiments, one or more protective wires are attached to the clad-core or a jacket layer and extend distally past the clad-core. In some such embodiments, three protective wires are substantially equally spaced relative to each other about the circumference of the core, i.e., forming an equilateral triangular pattern. The optical waveguide is useable in conjunction with an introducer structure having protective means to prevent damage to the vein walls, e.g., perforating the vein walls, during insertion of the optical waveguide into the vein. A method of using the device is also disclosed wherein a distal end of the optical waveguide is advanced to a desired position and essentially centered in the vein, and a predetermined wavelength of radiation is output from the distal end of the optical fiber while the optical waveguide is simultaneously withdrawn from the vein.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a mechanical lock for securing one or more filters within a filtration device and methods for producing the mechanical lock. The use of an interference fit punch causes a portion of the inner surface of the wall to be skived and rolled along the wall until it reaches the desired location where it forms a mechanical crimp to retain the one or more filters within the device. In one embodiment, the inner surface has an inwardly taper. In the other, it has straight walls or outwardly tapered walls. The use of a gasket such as an O-ring on top of the filter before the wall is skived provides a liquid tight seal.

    Abstract: A multi-well assembly including a filter plate and receiver plate. Each plate includes a plurality of wells, which, when the filter plate is placed in nesting relationship with the receiver plate, each filter plate well has a corresponding receiver plate well into which it extends. The receiver plate wells are of a non-uniform cross-section in order to increase the gap between the outer walls of the filter plate wells and the inner walls of a corresponding receiver plate well when the receiver plate and filter plate are in nesting relationship. The increased gap size reduces wicking and cross-contamination. A multi-section well of maximum cross-section in an upper region and a minimized cross-section in a lower region, with a gradual transition between the regions, is thus provided. The multi-well assembly of the present invention also improves the repeatability of positioning the filter plate and receiver plate in proper nesting relationship and provides stability during handling, mixing and shaking operations.

    Abstract: A telescope design having an integrated baffle is disclosed herein. The integrated baffle is configured as both a baffle and a mirror support. The integrated baffle can be shaped to the F-cone between the primary and secondary mirrors of a given telescope design. The baffle design can be adjusted to minimize or otherwise reduce the total obscuration of the baffle to improve the optical throughput. The interior facing surfaces of the integrated baffle can be configured with corner reflectors, so that the detector views itself, instead of the baffle.
