Abstract:
Interchangeable tips and/or catheters are placed over a surgical laser optical fiber to allow different side and forward firing outputs. The different side firing outputs may be achieved by securing tip structures having different angled reflectors to a ferrule at the end of the fiber. The absence of any tip structures allows forward firing through the ferrule.

Claim (Index 9):
A protective assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the fiber is movable with respect to the protective assembly, to enable advancement of the fiber for cleaning and withdrawal of the fiber for protection.
