ABSTRACT:
A mount for connecting a light source to optical fibers in a fiber optic catheter or the like is disclosed. The optical fibers are bonded to a mount body which mates with a light source. The mount body has a notch on its end, and the ends of the optical fibers project over this notch so that the substrate is not damaged by the light source. The fibers may project over the notch freely, or an insert may be provided in the notch for added stability.
