摘要: A delivery system extends from a laser radiation source for connecting to a medical device that utilizes the laser radiation for medical treatment. The delivery system comprises an optical fiber connecting to a male launch connecter. The male launch connector having a body portion with the optical fiber fixed or constrained therein and the optical fiber terminating at a male ferrule with a forward directed fiber facet, the male ferrule may be cantilevered within the body portion by the optical fiber line providing freedom of movement of the male ferrule. The launch connector engages a receiving connector on the medical device first with mechanical connection portions and then more finely aligning optical connection portions by the male ferrule self aligning in a female ferrule with cooperating tapered surfaces. The male portion may fully seat in the female portion with cooperating cylindrical surfaces.

摘要: A launch connector of a laser light energy coupling has a housing containing an optical connection portion with an optical fiber. The optical connection portion compliantly positioned by an elastomeric component within the housing at a threaded connection between a nose portion and a grasping portion. An internal retention portion engaged with the nose portion and grasping portion clamps the elastomeric component in the nose portion and further has a tubular portion extending rearwardly to an elastomeric strain relief member at a rearward end of connector. A sleeve seated in the nose portion defines, with the nose portion, an interior conformingly shaped to the optical connection portion with a circumferential gap allowing radial movement of the optical connection portion. The sleeve allowing insertion of the optical connection portion through a forward opening of the nose portion before seating the sleeve. The tubular portion providing a threading guide for the fiber.

摘要: A laser light energy coupling with a male launch connecter. The male launch connector having a body portion with the fiber optic line terminating at an optical connection component including a male ferrule. The optical connection component being elongate and generally cylindrical with a central circumferential band. The body portion defining a cavity form fit and spaced about the optical connection component. An elastomeric support engaging the optical connection portion provides compliancy when the coupling is made and provides centration before the coupling is made. The elastomeric support positioned rearward of the optical connection component. The elastomeric support may clamp the fiber optic line therein. A forward facing annular surface displaced rearwardly of a forwardmost portion of the male ferrule provides a stop surface when the coupling is made and provides heat transfer means to dissipate heat from the male ferrule through into a receiving coupling.
