Abstract

Aim: Provide a surgical handpiece using femtosecond technology for perforating/cutting ocular tissue for ophthalmic surgery with a flexible, compact, safe and robust self cleaning performance.

Solution : 

- Use of a preferable switchable fs-laser source from an automated ophthalmic surgical laser system to this manual handpiece.

- Use of special Kagome - photonic crystal fiber delivery system.

- Use of a very small sized disposable handpiece adapter with focusing and laser self cleaning exit window with additional fluid flow channels

Possible claims:

1) Switchable automated and manual ophthalmic surgical fs-laser apparatus

2) kagome fiber coupled compact, disposable and self cleaning surgical handpiece

3) Procedure for manual, traction free, perforating/cutting ophthalmic surgery.

The invention is related to a device and a procedure which enables to treat certain eye diseases in human eyes with help of a surgical handpiece, which delivers an ultrashort pulse laser beam for surgery. The hand held device is capable of delivering ultrashort pulsed laser energy in the femtosecond and picosecond range directly to the ocular tissue like retina, lens (cataract) and sclera.
