ABSTRACT:
An apparatus coupled to a laser delivery device comprising a housing having a laser waveguide for receiving a laser beam from the delivery device and for transmitting the laser beam to an area of medical treatment and a connection for receiving radio frequency electrical current and transmitting the current to an electrode for providing the current to the area of medical treatment. The apparatus combines the advantages of radio frequency electrosurgery techniques and laser surgery techniques in one device, offering the surgeon instant access to both techniques during surgery, as needed.
