摘要

Device for surgical application of a laser beam using an elongated optical fiber at the near end of which a laser light can be coupled to it. At the far end of the fiber is a guide element that is positioned over the optical fiber and has an outlet window (4) for the radiation that is set back relative to the surrounding areas (12) of the guide element (9).
