ABSTRACT:
An endoscopic attachment to a surgical laser comprises a hollow endoscopic tube adapted to be coupled at its rear end to the surgical laser, a coupling device including a pivotable reflector in the path of the laser beam transmitted through the endoscopic tube for reflecting same to the working area at the front end of the tube, and a manipulatable joystick connected to the reflector for manipulating the laser beam to direct it through the endoscopic tube and to selected positions in the working area at the front end of the tube. The attachment is to be used with a surgical laser producing a working laser beam and a separate, visible, aiming laser beam, the latter being partially reflected by the reflector and partially transmitted through the reflector to permit viewing the working area. The reflector further includes a light-absorbing member located to absorb the visible light transmitted through the reflector from the aiming laser beam, but not to interfere with observing the working area through the eyepiece.
