ABSTRACT:
A thin flexible probe that combines illumination and aspiration includes a rigid, two-section housing for accommodating a flexible fiber optic cable and a flexible aspiration conduit. The fiber optic cable terminates at a distal end in an angle of less than 90 degrees relative to its longitudinal dimension so as to emit light in a radial direction through a transparent cover, which forms part of the first section of the housing. The aspiration conduit is connected in fluid communication with an aspiration tip, which forms part of the second section of the housing. A flexible tubular body surrounds the fiber optic cable and aspiration conduit and is sealed to the housing.
