Laparoscope laser coupler

Definition

A device used to connect a laser delivery system [e.g., the articulating arm of a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser] and a laparoscope; providing a coincidence between the aiming beam and the treatment beam at the target site. It typically consists of a lens housing including a set of lenses, a laparoscope adaptor, and a sleeve. It is attached to the laser delivery system at the proximal end and to the laparoscope at the distal end, and the sleeve is placed inside the working channel of the laparoscope to provide a path for the laser. The device is typically used for a procedure using a laser type which wavelength is not appropriate for fibreoptic cable transmission. This is a reusable device.
