Abstract:
A steerable laser probe may include a handle having a handle distal end and a handle proximal end, an auto-fixing actuation control, a flexible housing tube having a flexible housing tube distal end and a flexible housing tube proximal end, a first flexible housing tube portion having a first stiffness, and an optic fiber disposed within an inner bore of the handle and the flexible housing tube. An actuation of the auto-fixing actuation control may gradually curve the flexible housing tube. A gradual curving of the flexible housing tube may gradually curve the optic fiber.

Claim (Index 17):
An ophthalmic laser probe comprising:\n a handle having a handle distal end and a handle proximal end; an actuation mechanism guide of the handle; an actuation mechanism having an actuation mechanism distal end and an actuation mechanism proximal end wherein the actuation mechanism is disposed in the actuation mechanism guide; an actuation control guide of the handle having an actuation control guide distal end and an actuation control guide proximal end; an actuation control of the actuation mechanism having an actuation control distal end and an actuation control proximal end wherein the actuation control is disposed in the actuation control guide; a housing tube housing of the actuation mechanism wherein the housing tube housing is disposed in the actuation mechanism guide; a housing tube guide of the handle wherein the housing tube guide is disposed between the handle distal end and the housing tube housing; a housing tube having a housing tube distal end and a housing tube proximal end wherein the housing tube is disposed in the housing tube housing and the housing tube guide wherein a first portion of the housing tube is fixed in the housing tube housing and wherein the housing tube distal end extends from the handle distal end; and an optic fiber having an optic fiber distal end and an optic fiber proximal end wherein the optic fiber is disposed in the actuation mechanism guide, the housing tube, and the housing tube guide and wherein a retraction of the actuation control relative to the actuation control guide proximal end is configured to retract the housing tube proximal end relative to the handle proximal end and the optic fiber and gradually straighten the optic fiber.
