ABSTRACT:
A delivery arrangement for CO.sub.2 (carbon dioxide) laser radiation is described which is particularly designed for laser medical systems. The delivery arrangement has three components--an articulated arm connectable to a CO.sub.2 laser head, a waveguide probe for directing CO.sub.2 laser radiation to an operating site, and a coupler for conditioning CO.sub.2 laser radiation emanating from the arm for coupling into the waveguide probe.
