Multi-spot laser probe with multiple single-core fibers
The present disclosure relates to a laser probe assembly coupled to a laser system through an optical fiber cable. In one example, the laser probe assembly comprises a probe tip coupled to the probe body, the probe tip housing multiple fibers. Each of the multiple fibers comprises a proximal end that couples to the laser system and a distal end that terminates in the probe tip, a single core for transporting a laser beam provided by the laser system, and a cladding surrounding the core. The laser probe assembly also comprises a lens for projecting multiple laser beams provided by the multiple fibers on to a surgical site. Within the probe tip, parts of outer surfaces of portions of any two adjacent fibers of the multiple fibers touch. Also, the multiple fibers are at least substantially centered with respect to the lens.

MULTI-CATHETER FLEXIBLE ROBOTIC SYSTEM
A multicatheter subsystem is provided for a steerable catheter robotic system. The subsystem includes a flexible output sheath, a plurality of flexible multi-lumen assemblies and a plurality of robotic instruments for performing a surgical procedure. The plurality of flexible multi-lumen assemblies extends through the outer sheath. Each of the multi-lumen assemblies has a proximal end and a distal end. Each of the robotic instruments is operatively and removably attachable to the distal end of one of the multi-lumen assemblies such that each instrument is teleoperable independently of every other robotic instrument. At least a first of the robotic instruments includes a plurality of interconnected articulating segments. Each of the articulating segments is operatively and removably attachable to a different one of the multi-lumen assemblies.
Cautery Device And Cautery System
A cautery device for biological tissue, includes: a probe including a head unit that is configured to be inserted into a living body to emit light to cauterize the biological tissue, the head unit including a first fixing member, a second fixing member, and an exit hole, the exit hole being located between the first fixing member and the second fixing member, the exit hole allowing the light to be emitted therethrough; and an elongated catheter configured to sandwich the biological tissue between the probe and the catheter, to thereby support the biological tissue, the catheter including a third fixing member configured to fix the first fixing member and a fourth fixing member configured to fix the second fixing member.
