ABSTRACT:
A laser light irradiation apparatus used for medical treatment of tissues. According to a preferred embodiment, the apparatus comprises a probe, an optical fiber feeding laser light into the probe and a lead wire for detecting a temperature being inserted through and projecting from the probe. Then, the probe contains laser light scattering particles for uniform irradiation of the laser light against the tissues. Further, the probe is fabricated from a laser light tramissive synthetic material, and the fore end of a core of the optical fiber and the inserting part of the lead wire are in the synthetic material of the probe for easy molding for this apparatus.
