Medical clamp for monomode optical fibre light conductor - uses clamp elements acting against sleeve enclosing optical fibre conductor

摘要

The clamp is used to secure the optical fibre light conductor to the proximal end of an appts. shaft inserted in the body. It comprises a number of clamp elements (18) spaced peripherally, which are displaced radially via a setting device (12,13), to act against an elastic sleeve (20) enclosing the optical fibre conductor (6). The clamp elements (18) comprise a number of balls acted on by a cone surface to press them radially inwards against the sleeve (20). ADVANTAGE - Simple construction and high reliability.
