ABSTRACT:
A laser optic device comprises at least one optic fiber disposed within a protective conduit which is mounted to a disposable probe assembly having a hollow needle insertable within the body. Laser energy is transmitted through the optic fiber to a lens at one end which is adapted to focus the laser energy through the hollow needle and into a blood vessel, for creating a blood clot, or into the tissue immediately adjacent a damaged blood vessel for creating white scar tissue thereby causing the vessel to shrink in size and at least partially disappear from view.
