An illuminating laser probe for vitreoretinal surgery

We have developed a new multifunction instrument for use during bimanual vitreoretinal surgery. The illuminating laser probe provides the functions of endolaser photocoagulation and fiberoptic illumination in a single 19- or 20-gauge instrument. The probe can be coupled to standard laser and illumin...

Description
Summary:	We have developed a new multifunction instrument for use during bimanual vitreoretinal surgery. The illuminating laser probe provides the functions of endolaser photocoagulation and fiberoptic illumination in a single 19- or 20-gauge instrument. The probe can be coupled to standard laser and illumination sources, and it simplifies endophotocoagulation in select surgical settings.
