ABSTRACT:
A device for treating the interior of a body cavity with laser energy includes a cannula having a distal end adapted to be inserted into the body cavity to be treated, and a proximal end to be located externally of the body cavity when the distal end is inserted therein, and an optical fiber axially movable within the cannula to either a retracted, non-operative position or to an extended, operative position. The optical fiber has a proximal end to be coupled to a source of laser energy, and a distal end to project outwardly of the cannula in the extended, operative position of the optical fiber. The distal end of the optical fiber has a roughened outer surface for scattering the laser energy laterally outwardly of the optical fiber.
