ABSTRACT:
Side fire laser catheter apparatus includes a fiberoptic element having a bevelled tip fused to a cap. A secondary reflector may be disposed adjacent to the fiberoptic element as fused to the cap for reflecting any axial transmission outwardly through the cap. A lensed flat may be provided on the cap through which the laser beam is reflected to control the scattering of the light energy from the laser.
