ABSTRACT:
A device for treating the interior of a body cavity with laser energy includes an optical fiber having a distal end to be inserted into the body cavity to be treated, and a proximal end to be located externally of the body cavity and to be coupled to a source of laser energy; a second fiber axially movable with respect to the optical fiber and mechanically coupled to its distal end to cause it to move in the lateral direction; and a stiffening spine normally supporting the distal ends of the two fibers in side-by-side relation, but permitting the distal end of one fiber to move laterally with respect to the other fiber.
