Abstract:
Aspects of this disclosure pertain to a device with an elongated body having a distal end. The distal end may comprise a port that permits discharge of a laser energy towards a tissue from an optical fiber located in the distal end. An exterior surface of the distal end may include a cauterization portion that permits discharge of a cauterization energy towards the tissue. In some aspects, the device includes an insulative portion that attaches the distal end to the elongated body and limits energy transfer therebetween. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 29):
The system of  claim 27 , wherein, in response to the optical fiber being extended through an opening at a distal end of the probe, and the cauterization member being located proximal to the opening at the distal end of the probe, laser energy is discharged from the optical fiber towards the tissue and, in response to the optical fiber and the cauterization member both being extended through the opening at the distal end of the body, the laser energy is discharged towards the cauterization portion to heat the cauterization portion.
