ABSTRACT:
A disposable laser endocoagulator apparatus for ophthalmic surgery or the like. The apparatus includes an elongated, generally pencil-like handtool which has a stainless steel probe positioned at the leading end of the handtool. An optical fiber is inserted through a bore in the handtool such that the optical fiber terminates at the distal end of the probe. The optical fiber is attached to a connector which includes a plastic body, the plastic body having a small metal plug inserted into it. The metal plug is constructed of stainless steel so as to be capable of being machined with great precision such that the optical fiber carried by the plug can be accurately positioned and aligned with respect to the laser beam output by a conventional argon ion type laser.
