US 7780655 B2Abstract
The medical or cosmetic hand-held laser device 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 can be used in particular for dental treatments. It comprises an elongated cylindrical outer sleeve 2 that is hollow on the inside and is subdivided into a handle part 2A and a head part 2B. The handle part 2A and head part 2B are arranged at an angle to one another, with the angle being approximately 90�. Handle part 2A and head part 2B may be manufactured in two parts and joined together or they may be manufactured from one workpiece. On the end of the handle part 2A opposite the head part 2B, there is a connecting device 4 for connecting the hand-held laser device 1 to a source of laser beam (not shown). Since the connecting device and/or the various types of connecting devices that can be used with such a hand-held device 1 are known, details are not given here. A rotating joint that allows the user free rotatability and thus good handling of the hand-held device 1 is preferably provided as the connecting device 4. The rotating joint and the hand-held device 1 are especially preferably designed so that they can be connected to a supply tubing with an optical fiber protruding beyond the supply tubing. The optical fiber is inserted into the hand-held device 1 only while the hand-held device 1 is coupled to the supply tubing, in which case it extends preferably to the vicinity of the head part 2B or into the head part 2B.
