This is a family of detachable devices that comprise the distal portion of a beam delivery system to be used with a CO, surgical laser such as that described in K96075. Specifically, the devices consist of a flexible hollow lightpipe (fiber), handpieces that connect to the fiber, and various tips that connect to the handpieces. The tips are short, rigid hollow alumina lightpipes producing a variety of spot sizes. The user may "mix and match" handpieces and tips to suit the clinical task at hand.
