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 6):
A protective assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the metal cap is a textured metal cap with an o-ring to allow for rotation of the tip structure with respect to the ferrule, and therefore firing of the laser beam through an unused portion or area of the ferrule.
