Selective Aperture For Laser Delivery System For Providing Incision, Tissue Ablation And Coagulation

View page
US Patent:
6575964, Jun 10, 2003
Filed:
Feb 4, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/498937
Inventors:
James L. Hobart - Los Altos CA
Daniel K. Negus - Los Altos CA
Ken Gott - Santa Clara CA
Rene Hugues - Santa Clara CA
Assignee:
Sciton, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
A61B 1818
US Classification:
606 10, 606 3, 606 13, 607 89
Abstract:
A selective aperture for a laser delivery system for providing incision, ablation and coagulation. A laser crystal disposed between two reflective surfaces forms a laser beam. An aperture member positioned between the laser crystal and one of the reflective surfaces includes a substantially circular aperture for passing the laser beam. The size of the aperture is selectively adjustable. The aperture member has a plurality of apertures of various different sizes and is rotatable about an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the laser crystal. By appropriately rotating the aperture member, a selected one of the apertures is positioned to pass the laser beam. A stepper motor and flexible shaft are utilized for rotating the aperture member. At least one of the apertures is surrounded by a beveled portion of the rotatable member.

US Patent:
20210236334, Aug 5, 2021
Filed:
Apr 22, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/238107
Inventors:
- Santa Ana CA, US
Christine Beltran - San Bruno CA, US
Michael Campos - Fremont CA, US
Jan Wysopal - Livermore CA, US
Brent Eikanas - Brentwood CA, US
Rene Hugues - Santa Clara CA, US
International Classification:
A61F 9/009
A61F 9/008
A61M 1/00
Abstract:
Apparatus to treat an eye with an ophthalmic laser system comprises a patient interface having an annular retention structure to couple to an anterior surface of the eye. The retention structure is coupled to a suction line to couple the retention structure to the eye with suction. Liquid is added above the eye to act as a transmissive medium. A coupling sensor is coupled to the suction line to determine coupling of the retention structure to the eye. A separate pressure monitoring circuit having a much smaller volume than the suction line is connected to the annular retention structure to measure suction pressure therein. A system processor coupled to the monitoring pressure sensor includes instructions to interrupt firing of a laser when the pressure measured with a monitoring pressure sensor rises above a threshold amount.
