Claim Text:
1. A laser device having a distal end configured to support a fixation member to be affixed to a target surgical site, and a proximal end spaced apart from the distal end along a longitudinal direction, the laser device comprising: a laser device body; a laser source supported by the laser device body and capable of emitting a laser beam to the distal end, wherein the laser device is configured to switch between an inactive configuration whereby the laser source does not emit the laser beam, and an active configuration whereby the laser source emits the laser beam; a first actuator movable between a first position and an actuated position; and a second actuator moveable between a first position and an actuated position, whereby when at least one of the first actuator and the second actuator is in the first position the laser device is in the inactive configuration, and when the first actuator and the second actuator are in the respective actuated positions, the laser device is in the active configuration, wherein the second actuator is configured to selectively operably connect a power source to the laser source, such that when the second actuator is in the first position, the power source is disconnected from the laser source, and when the second actuator is in the actuated position, the power source is connected to the laser source.
