Claim:
1. A laser probe comprising: a handle having a handle distal end and a handle proximal end; an actuation structure of the handle having an actuation structure distal end and an actuation structure proximal end, the actuation structure manufactured from a shape memory material; a plurality of actuation arms of the actuation structure, each actuation arm of the plurality of actuation arms having an extension mechanism; a handle base of the handle, the handle base having a handle base distal end and a handle base proximal end wherein the handle base distal end is adjacent to the actuation structure proximal end and the handle base proximal end is the handle proximal end; an actuation ring of the handle having an actuation ring distal end and an actuation ring proximal end wherein the actuation ring proximal end is adjacent to the actuation structure distal end and the actuation ring distal end is the handle distal end; a housing tube platform of the handle; a platform base of the handle; an actuation mechanism guide of the platform base; an actuation mechanism housing of the actuation ring wherein the actuation mechanism housing houses an actuation mechanism that is disposed in the actuation mechanism housing and wherein the actuation mechanism is configured to actuate relative to the handle base within the actuation mechanism guide; a wire proximal end housing of the handle, the wire proximal end housing disposed within the actuation structure; a housing tube having a housing tube distal end and a housing tube proximal end, the housing tube proximal end disposed in the housing tube platform wherein a portion of the housing tube is fixed in the housing tube platform; a flexible tube having a flexible tube distal end and a flexible tube proximal end, the flexible tube disposed in the housing tube wherein the flexible tube distal end extends from the housing tube distal end; a wire having a wire distal end and a wire proximal end, the wire disposed in the housing tube, the flexible tube, and the wire proximal end housing; a pre-formed curve of the wire; and an optic fiber having an optic fiber distal end and an optic fiber proximal end, the optic fiber disposed in the flexible tube wherein the optic fiber distal end is adjacent to the flexible tube distal end.
